Commercially pure titanium and titanium alloys have been among the most commonly used
materials for biomedical applications since the 1950s. Due to the excellent mechanical …

Titanium and its alloys have already been widely used as implant materials due to their
outstanding mechanical characteristics and biocompatibility. Notwithstanding this …

Purpose The purpose of this study is, to compare laser-based additive manufacturing and
subtractive methods. Laser-based manufacturing is a widely used, noncontact, advanced …

Advances in biomaterials and the need for patient-specific bone scaffolds require modern
manufacturing approaches in addition to a design strategy. Hybrid materials such as those …

Additive manufacturing (AM) has made it possible to manufacture intricate lattice structures,
especially for metal-based techniques like laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) that are best …

Lattice structures are composed of interconnected porous unit cells that are arranged in a
periodic and regular fashion. Their light wight and high specific strength alongside many …

Large injuries to bones are still one of the most challenging musculoskeletal problems.
Tissue engineering can combine stem cells, scaffold biomaterials, and biofactors to aid in …

Uniform porous structures are widely considered as the biological implant materials, but they
are difficult to meet the needs of complex bone transplantation. The radial gradient porous …

Cementless femoral stems are prone to stress shielding of the femoral bone, which is
caused by a mismatch in stiffness between the femoral stem and femur. This can cause …

Polycaprolactone scaffolds were designed and 3D-printed with different pore shapes (cube
and triangle) and sizes (500 and 700 μm) and modified with alkaline hydrolysis of different …
