| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D Printing (3DP) is known for printing complex shapes, offering design flexibility and customization opportunities for defect-specific patient-matched implants. AM can also be used to innovate novel alloys for application-specific needs. The application of AM can pave the way towards manufacturing innovative metallic implants, combining structural variations at different length scales and tailored compositions designed for specific biological responses. Specific alloy chemistries can be innovated to enhance biocompatibility for load-bearing implants or add inherent antibacterial resistance to mitigate infections in vivo. Designing new alloy chemistries and structural modifications, such as adding porosities, can be accomplished in one operation via AM. This talk will focus on alloy design via AM for metallic implants from processing, mechanical properties, and biological characterizations in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, the importance of surface properties and interfacial interaction for designing these new alloys will be discussed. |
