Individual implants of a loss of palate fragments fabricated using SLM equipment
Journal Title: Journal of Achievements in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 77, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the article is to present the new conception of design and manufacturingindividual implants of a loss of palate fragments using Selective Laser Melting equipment.Design/methodology/approach: The designed virtual model of scaffolds have beenproduced in a process of selective laser melting (SLM). For their preparation titaniumalloy powder - Ti6Al4V of suitable granulation and shape has been used. Thus obtainedscaffolds have been observed in a scanning electron microscope. The structure of thepores is compatible with the shape of a designed unit cell. The outcarried EDS analysis hasconfirmed the chemical composition of the tested material.Findings: In the framework of research innovative porous biomimetic materials calledscaffolds with the well-defined regular structure of open pores have been used. Virtualimplant models have been made using Computer Aided Materials Design. They have thegeometrical dimensions corresponding to a fragment of a loss of a human palate. Porousand regular structure with defined geometric dimensions and shape are designed in the formof the unit cell, which has then been subjected to the multiplication process.Practical implications: The scaffolds fabricated in the SLM process create conditions fortheir application as implants of a loss of palate fragments.Originality/value: Implants for the whole palate or its part, required due to mechanicalinjuries, tumorous diseases or cleft palate are original at the basis of a literature review.
