Medical implants made from titanium alloy using selective laser melting (SLM) represent a special form. It’s a high-tech method that we use at Whale-Stone to create implants layer by layer, so that an implant can be tuned perfectly for the body of each individual patient. Instead of cutting or shaping metal from a large block, SLM melts little bits of metal powder with energy from a laser to hit the exact shape called for. This would make it possible to create devices that are strong, light and with surfaces that help the body welcome them.
Selective laser melting on biocompatibility and cellular behavior in implants
The trick is in how SLM manufactures each tiny layer of implants. By melting a powdered titanium alloy with a laser, Whale-Stone can make much more elaborate forms than it could by traditional means. This lets us create small pores and rough surfaces on the implant, an aid to possible bone cells growing into the implant. When bone grows into those holes, the implant becomes more firmly anchored inside the body, decreasing the likelihood that it will move or become loose. And because the implant is custom designed to fit the patient, it distributes forces in the body more evenly.
SLM-printing of medical titanium alloy implant
Printing with custom nylon parts the metal powder to melt too much. If the laser gets too hot, the metal can warp or crack. Too little heat may result in the layers not sticking well, rendering the implant frail. At Whale-Stone, we spend a good deal of time tuning the exact right laser settings. Then there is the powder itself. It has to be really pure and it must be of the right size.
Assurance in wholesale SLM printing of medical implants
If you’re 3D printing medical implants with 3d printed medical equipment implants need to be safe and snug within the body. We have lots of steps to ensure our titanium alloy implant are perfect. First, we begin with the highest quality raw ingredients. We are using 100 percent pure titanium powder and the titanium we print is tested thoroughly prior to printing. This prevents challenges when in printing.
Purchase quality SLM custom titanium alloyed
Wholesale purchasers interested in high-quality customized titanium alloy implants made by online 3d printing service for example can find reliable suppliers such as Whale-Stone. It is very important to buy directly from a company that knows how to make implants with care. Whale-Stone provides factory-specific implants to ensure precise implantation procedures that incorporate cutting-edge SLM technology.
Personalised Medical Titanium Implants
Many aspects make Selective Laser Melting a favorite way of making custom medical titanium implants. At Whale-Stone, we prefer to use SLM since it helps us create strong and accurate implants that fit each patient virtually to their bodies with the option of design. The best thing about SLM is that it builds the implant layer from hundreds of tiny titanium powder particles, allowing Whale-Stone to make more complex shapes not easily done with other methods. In that case, the implants may have special holes, rough surfaces that help bones grow into the implant, making them work better.
