Selection and Comparative Study of RP Technologies for Personalized Implant Manufacturing

Abstract

The present paper was worked out the Selection and Comparative Study of RP Technologies for Personalized Implant Manufacturing. Considering the higher accuracy as more significant parameter compared to the material efficiency, the high speed milling was selected as most appropriate for the femoral stem manufacturing. In order to validate the NC programs, a sample of the femoral stem was produced. From the validation it can be concluded that the NC programs is adequate and adapted the possibilities and the working area of the machine. It follows that the femoral stem could be manufactured from Ti6Al4V using these programs.
