Abstract

In this paper, selective laser melting (SLM) technology is used to process complex structures. In combination with the theory of biomedicine, a porous implant with a porous structure is designed to induce bone cell growth. The mechanical strength advantage of SLM was discussed by observing the metallographic structure of SLM specimen with mechanical microscope and mechanical tensile test. The osseointegration of porous implants was observed and analyzed by biological experiments. By establishing a mechanical model, the mechanical properties of the bone implant combined with the jaw bone were studied by the simple mechanical analysis under static multi loading and the finite element mechanical analysis. According to the experimental observation and mechanical research, the optimization suggestions for the structure design of the implant made by SLM technology were put forward.
