The Benefits of Designing Medical Devices with Topology Optimization and Additive Manufacturing

Increasingly, selective laser melting applications featuring medical-grade Titanium are utilized in the production of orthopedic implants, such as lumbar and cervical fusion cages, with lattice structures that increase bone in-growth. This major benefit to patients is complemented by a reduction in material, production time and cost to manufacturers. Learn how companies are increasing functionality while decreasing costs by combining design optimization and advanced additive manufacturing technologies.
