Comparison of Properties of Conventional & 3D-printed Titanium & Their Mechano-Regulative Potential

There is a growing trend of use of 3D-printed implants made of titanium alloys. It is also known that the microstructure and topology of porous layers are different from similar conventional materials made by sintering or powder spraying technology. In this way local fluid permeability and respectively nutrients transport are also varied. Here we are analysing elastic properties and respective mechano-regulative index (MRIX) variations for different titanium specimens during representative loading scenarios
