TL;DR: It is concluded that samples with 30% porosity exhibit the best biocompatibility and suggest that porous titanium scaffolds generated using this manufacturing route have excellent potential for hard tissue engineering applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a concise overview of additive manufacturing technologies and their application to biomedical titanium-based materials with a focus on the main achievements and issues which remain to be addressed, and highlight the potential to develop additive manufacturing of novel, low-cost porous titanium composites to meet the needs for biomedical orthopaedic implants.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of uniaxial compression testing were compared with results calculated using the finite element method (FEM) modelling, and a comparison between the numerical models and the experimental results suggest that the geometrical inaccuracy caused by powder adhesion has an insignificant impact on the static mechanical properties.

TL;DR: Compared to the conventionally used biomedical Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the Ti-Ta alloy offers superior mechanical compatibility for the targeted applications with lower elastic modulus, similar strength and higher ductility, making theTi-25Ta alloy a promising candidate for a new generation of load-bearing implants.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of experiments and finite element modeling was used to investigate the role of pore shape and porosity level on the effective Young's modulus of porous metallic structures.
