Development of osteointegrable structures based on titanium for biomedical implants using 3D printing technologies and powder metallurgy.

Abstract

The following work proposes the use of 3D printing technology for prototyping of molds with the defined geometry of the prosthesis, combining gel-casting molding techniques in the preparation of a green product made of TiH2 powder that allows filling The cavity of the 3D printed mold and subsequent controlled sintering will achieve the achievement of biomedical titanium implants with the roughness and porosity suitable for osseointegration.
