Al2O3, Glass Beads, and Apatitic Abrasive: Comparing Post-Processing Options for 3D-Printed Titanium Medical Implants

For the best chance of successful osseointegration, titanium and titanium-alloy implants need to undergo a surface finishing process. Research has shown that specifically textured surfaces on Ti implants can increase bone-to-implant contact and encourage new tissue growth around the device.

An Ideal Post-Processing Solution for Additive-Manufactured Medical Devices

Few things have been as potentially revolutionary for the medical device industry as 3D printing. The process allows implant manufacturers to design and produce innovative products quickly and efficiently. But additive manufacturing does introduce a few specific issues medical implant designers and fabricators must take into account.
