Products & Services News & Resources Contact us / Additive manufacturing properties Bulk material properties Implantable-grade titanium (Ti) and Ti alloy (Ti6Al4V) are used in the additive manufacturing process. Their chemical and mechanical properties comply with ISO and ASTM Standards. Implantable-grade Ti and Ti alloys are used in Lincotek Medical’s additive manufacturing processes Ti6Al4V EBM Ti6Al4V Laser ASTM F136 E (MPa) 118 ± 5 111 ± 1 N.Ap.

(445 ± 7*) Ti and Ti alloys used in our additive manufacturing processes comply with ISO and ASTM standards Porous structure properties Example of friction coefficients obtained with different porous structures. Symbols identify four different porous structures tested With additive manufacturing, 3D metal networks can be CAD-designed and built up together with devices’ solid parts. We offer design and manufacturing of porous engineered porous structures. Porous surface can be designed and manufactured to achieve desired friction against bone: one example is reported in the picture. Additively manufactured metal porous structures can be designed and manufactured to achieve desired adhesion and cohesion strengths, in full agreement with applicable standards. One example is shown here. Net to bulk adhesion strength. Values shown are relative to a couple of porous structures designed and manufactured for exemplification purposes. Biological porous structure characterization In vitro tests have assessed cell viability and proliferation in additive manufactured Ti networks. For properly-designed and manufactured porous structures in vivo tests have shown: bone in-growth into additive manufacturing lattice structures healthy bone near the implants long-lasting implant stabilization Contact us for more details or download our brochure which includes further information Osteoblasts proliferation trend onto laser sintered Ti surfaces Get in touch Select the company you would like to contact Italy - Trento Italy - Bologna Italy - Salerno U.S. - Fort Worth, Dayton, Portland, Logan U.S. - Memphis & Cincinnati China - Wuxi What would you like to contact us about?
