Additively manufactured mesh-type titanium structures for cranial implants: E-PBF vs. L-PBF

Additively manufactured mesh-type titanium structures for cranial implants: E-PBF vs. L-PBF

A patient-specific titanium-reinforced calcium phosphate (CaP–Ti) cranial implant has recently shown promising clinical results. Currently, its mesh-type titanium structure is additively manufactured using laser beam powder bed fusion (L-PBF). Nevertheless, an electron-beam (E-PBF) process could pot...
