METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN IMPLANT WITH TITANIUM-BASED THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING MATERIA, IMPLANT WITH TITANIUM-BASED THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING MATERIAL, METHOD FOR DESIGNING AN IMPLANT

摘要

A method for manufacturing an implant including the steps of providing an implant element, the implant element made of a non-metallic material, depositing a thin layer of titanium-based material directly over an outer surface of the implant element, and forming a titanium-based structural body in direct contact with the thin layer by three-dimensional (3D) printing, the structural body being thicker than the thin layer of titanium-based material.
