On the project

Structured porous implants offer superior biological fixation. However, fabricating their ultra-thin features via Laser Powder Bed Fusion induces porosity due to kinematic instability. Current scanning strategies neglect kinematics, compromising structural reliability. This project aims to define the kinematic crossover threshold, a physics-based optimal thickness for switching scan modes. By validating a delayed hatching strategy, we will minimize defects and enable reliable, biomimetic Ti-6Al-4V scaffolds.
