... currently used for orthotic padding, with an effective elasticity of 128 psi and durometer of 35 Shore A (Acor Orthopaedic, 2009). Unfortunately, the aforementioned materials used in conventional orthosis fabrication are not yet available for solid free‐form fabrication; therefore, to fabricate...

... freeform structures for several applications including craniofacial reconstruction and orthopaedic spacers. It also aims to examine the effects of different fabrication conditions on porosity and mechanical properties of PMMA samples. Design/methodology/approach The building parameters and procedures...

... orthopedic implants with suitable pore architecture and matched mechanical properties. Design/methodology/approach Ti6Al4V implants with controlled porosity are produced using an electron beam melting machine. A scanning electron microscope is utilized to examine the macro‐pore structures of the Ti6Al4V...
