Developing lattice structures from PBF-LB for patient-friendly bone healing

Germany-based RWTH Aachen University’s Digital Additive Production facility (DAP) is researching a new zinc-magnesium alloy combination for lattice structures as part of the BioStruct project. DAP says Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) is the only method capable of producing these structures. Current bone defect treatments, like titanium implants and autologous bone grafts, have limitations […]
