Strength assessment of biomaterial models using selective sintering technology

Abstract

The article presents an innovative method for the assessment of mechanical properties of biomaterials. 3D models were used for this purpose, obtained by selective laser sintering, designed in various spatial configuration (size of pores, orientation of pores ). The Rotational Bridge test stand was used to carry out the tests, which allowed generating of twisting deformations in the tested materials. The values of the moment of torsion forces transferred by the tested models were analyzed and compared, depending on their spatial structure.
