Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an advanced manufacturing technology based on layer-by-layer deposition for the production of complex functional mechanical parts. In the DMLS technology, a solid-state laser controlled by a scanning system sinters successive layers of a metal powder in accordance to the previously realized CAD/CAM model. In the biomedical field, DMLS is a promising technology for prosthetic applications where complex geometries, low volumes and strong individualization are required. Co- and Ti-based alloys are extensively used in biomedical applications due to their mechanical properties and biocompatibiliy. In this study, a Co-Cr-Mo composition suitable for biomedical applications and a Ti-6Al-4V alloy were produced by the DMLS technology. In order to study the structure stability of the alloys, samples were submitted to thermal treatments.

Abstract
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an advanced manufacturing technology based on layer-by-layer deposition for the production of complex functional mechanical parts. In the DMLS technology, a solid-state laser controlled by a scanning system sinters successive layers of a metal powder in accordance to the previously realized CAD/CAM model. In the biomedical field, DMLS is a promising technology for prosthetic applications where complex geometries, low volumes and strong individualization are required. Co- and Ti-based alloys are extensively used in biomedical applications due to their mechanical properties and biocompatibiliy. In this study, a Co-Cr-Mo composition suitable for biomedical applications and a Ti-6Al-4V alloy were produced by the DMLS technology. In order to study the structure stability of the alloys, samples were submitted to thermal treatments.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
