3D printed porous Ti6Al4V cage: Effects of additive angle on surface properties and biocompatibility; bone ingrowth in Beagle tibia model

Similar mechanical properties to native bone, excellent biocompatibility and osseointegration are key factors for interbody fusion cage. In the present study, porous Ti6Al4V cage with computer designed macro- and micro-architecture was reproduced by selective laser melting (SLM). Dense Ti6Al4V discs...
