Abstract :
[en] The use of bone scaffolds for treatment of large bone defects could be a solution for many disadvantages which are present with traditional care methods. The success of these scaffolds depends on its internal structure and mechanical properties. To be able to conduct a reliable investigation on the effect of these parameters, an efficient production method is required which can produce controlled internal structures. The presented work examines the ability to produce Ti6Al4V bone scaffolds with selective laser melting. The bone scaffolds were produced with a pore size range of 400-900 mu m and beam size 200 mu m. To check the repeatability mechanical and geometrical tests were performed.
