Cellular structure implants creation by selective laser sintering

With the help of CAD - system Delcam PowerShape create a 3D model of the Wigner-Seitz structure maxillary implant with size 2 mm and web thickness 0.05 mm. The titanium samples were obtained using selective laser sintering mounting Realizer SLM 50. In the process applied the fiber laser with wavelength of 680 nm, a power of 250 watts. As the initial material in the experiment was used spherical shape titanium powder with an average particle size of 30 microns. Step value dissection layer during sintering 0.1 mm preserves the integrity of cell structure without thinning jumpers. 3 modes of the laser radiation 1000, 1400 and 1700 mA are investigated. The results of application layering laser sintering technology to produce Wigner-Seitz cellular structures implants are presented.
