The Design, Rapid Manufacture, and Materials of Artificial Porous Bone Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

By using dexelization algorithms, the Brep model of artificial bone is transformed to the three direction DEXEL model and VOXEL model. By setting the transparence attributes of VOXELs in this VOXEL model, the artificial porous bone structures are designed. In order to preserve bio-activities of materials when we manufacture the artificial porous bone structure, the low-temperature deposition manufacturingLDM is used. By using the blended materials poly-lactic-coglycolic acid (PLGA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP), we could manufacture the artificial porous bone structures.
