- PublikationMechanical anisotropy of titanium scaffolds(De Gruyter, 2017) Weber, Franz E.; de Wild, Michael; Rüegg, Jasmine; Schumacher, Ralf [in: Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering]The clinical performance of an implant, e.g. for the treatment of large bone defects, depends on the implant material, anchorage, surface topography and chemistry, but also on the mechanical properties, like the stiffness. The latter can be adapted by the porosity. Whereas foams show isotropic mechanical properties, digitally modelled scaffolds can be designed with anisotropic behaviour. In this study, we designed and produced 3D scaffolds based on an orthogonal architecture and studied its angle-dependent stiffness. The aim was to produce scaffolds with different orientations of the microarchitecture by selective laser melting and compare the angle-specific mechanical behaviour with an in-silico simulation. The anisotropic characteristics of open-porous implants and technical limitations of the production process were studied.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
