The open cell structure is commonly used in the medical device industry and consists of small struts connected to each other. Relatively new additive manufacturing technique "SLS" has been used in this study. This approach allows to create a sufficiently small specimens to represent each strut in a commercially available orthopaedic porous structur...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has made a giant leap across numerous fields and industries, enabling the manufacturing of complex components in layer-by-layer form customized to the needs of the customer. This paper aims to outline current trends, review present issues and opportunities, and classify different AM techniques and their fields of application. With the objective of providing a thorough understanding of the seven AM techniques defined by The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), this literature analysis identifies research gaps for future applications and highlights noteworthy findings.
... Samples under study were produced using the Selective Laser Melting technology, by means of the Concept Laser Mlab Cusing (R) system. Four different processing conditions were chosen, following previous results that can be found in literature [14]. In order to investigate the effect of a single process variable, only the laser scan speed was changed from one sample to the other, keeping all other parameters constant. ...
Conference Paper
Commercially pure titanium is an important material for several biomedical applications, thanks to its capability to promote osseointegration and its mechanical properties. In recent years, new processing routes like additive manufacturing have opened new frontiers in the exploitation of this material in the biomedical field, giving the possibility to realize new shapes and decrease the overall weight of the prostheses. At the same time, due to these new forming technologies, new issues are faced, like the presence of a fine microstructure and the relation between porosity in the final component and the process parameters. This paper employs electrochemical measurements to assess the porosity effect on the corrosion behaviour of additively manufactured titanium in simulated body fluids. Specifically, the possibility of assessing different porosity levels related to processing parameters change is discussed. *** Full-text available in institutional repository https://iris.polito.it/retrieve/handle/11583/2841347/387261/MeMeA2020_Ti.pdf
