In this study, cortical bone tissue from children was investigated. It is extremely difficult to obtain human child tissue. Therefore, the only possibility was to use bone tissue, free from …
Materials used for hard tissue replacement should match the elastic properties of human bone tissue. Therefore, cellular structures are more favourable for the use of implants than …
Abstract Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a powder-bed-based additive manufacturing method, using a laser beam, which can be used to produce metallic scaffolds for bone …
