Bioactive Ti metal analogous to human cancellous bone: Fabrication by selective laser melting and chemical treatments.

TLDR
In this study the necessary SLM processing conditions to obtain a dense product were investigated using a Ti powder of less than 45 μm particle size, showing that a fully dense plate thinner than 1.8 mm was obtained when the laser power to scanning speed ratio was greater than 0.5.
