Abstract
Production of porous titanium bone implants is a highly promising research and application area due to providing high osseointegration and achieving the desired mechanical properties. Production of controlled porosity in titanium implants is possible with laser powder bed fusion (L- PBF) technology. The main topics of this presentation includes the L-PBF process parameter optimization to manufacture thin walls of porous titanium structures with almost full density and good mechanical properties as well as good dimensional accuracy. Moreover, the cleaning and coating process of these structures to further increase osseointegration and then in-vitro biocompatibility will be covered.
