Cellular Ti-6Al-4V structures with interconnected macro porosity for bone implants fabricated by selective electron beam melting.
TL;DR: Micro computer tomography analysis demonstrated the capability to fabricate three-dimensional structures with an interconnected porosity and pore sizes suitable for tissue ingrowth and vascularization and a chemical surface modification is expected to enhance the fixation of the implant in the surrounding bone as well as to improve its long-term stability.

Evaluations of cellular lattice structures manufactured using selective laser melting
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of unit cell size on the manufacturability, density and compression properties of the manufactured cellular lattice structures were investigated, and it was shown that the lattice structure made by selective laser melting has a good geometric agreement with the original computer-aided design (CAD) models, but many partially melted metal particles are bonded to strut surfaces.
