Researchers from the University of Umm Al-Qura and the University of Waterloo have recently published a paper, ‘On the influence of sintering protocols and layer thickness on the physical and mechanical properties of additive manufactured titanium porous bio-structures.’ Here they deal with the issue of 3D printed bone implants and how they can be best manufactured via 3D printing so as not to cause the patient any pain or discomfort due to stress shielding and bone reabsorption. They developed a model and then performed numerous experiments to see what the tolerances were in 3D printing. The model and experiments were in agreement at the end, demonstrating a good fit for the data. Read more at 3DPrint.com: https://3dprint.com/144672/3d-printi...nium-implants/
