Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of three-dimensional printing (3DP) for the preparation of porous titanium implant and to investigate the impacts on microstructure and mechanical properties with different sintering temperatures.Methods The CAD model of the specimens was designed to be 25 mm in diameter,20 mm in height,and with 0.5 mm pore size mesh.On every cross-section,80％ bonding area was designed.Titanium powder (purity of 98.5％,75 μm diameter) was selected as raw material.Polyvinyl alcohol powder (160 μm diameter) was selected as a binder,and polyvinylpyrrolidone powder was selected as an auxiliary binder.The green porous titanium implants were fabricated by 3DP followed by sintering at 1 200,1 300,1 400 ℃,separately,under the protection of argon gas.After sintering,the properties of porous titanium implants were evaluated,including the porosity,microstructure,microhardness,compressive strength and elastic modulus.Results After sintering,the specimen had uniform contraction and no obvious distortion.The specimen sintered at 1 200,1 300 and 1 400 ℃ sintering temperatures had porosity of (65.01±1.03)％,(46.73±0.73)％ and (41.06±0.31)％,hardness of 115.2±0.6,148.6±1.1 and 182.8±2.1,elastic modulus of (5.9±0.5),(16.2±0.9) and (34.8±1.5) GPa,compressive strength of (81.3±4.3),(135.4±8.5) and (218.6±7.1) MPa,respectively.A porous structure with three-dimensional network of connected pores was observed under scanning electron microscope.Conclusion It is feasible to fabricate porous titanium implants by three dimensional printing technique.The mechanical properties of the porous titanium implants match well with bone tissue which has excellent biomechanical compatibility.

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) forming technology can shape personalized porous implant material with complex shape and fine structure to meet the various needs of different patients. In this paper, the green parts of porous titanium implants with diameter 25 mm x 20 mm were prepared using 3DP, and then debinded at 500 degrees C under vacuum. Finally they were sintered in the argon gas at 1 300 degrees C. The pore sizes were observed, and they were between 50-150 microm under SEM. The results of porosity, bulk density, Vickers hardness, compressive strength and elastic modulus were (44.26% +/- 2.43)%, (2.59 +/- 0.81)g/cm3, 134.2-151.6 (61.2 +/- 3.2) MPa, (3.25 +/- 1.08) GPa, respectively. That shows excellent biomechanical compatibility. It is concluded that 3DP has wide application for fabrication of personalized porous titanium implant.

Objective: To fabricate Ti alloy frameworks for a maxillary complete denture with three-dimensional printing (3DP) technique, such as selective laser melting (SLM) and electron beam melting (EBM), and to evaluate the microstructure of these frameworks and their adaptation to the die stone models. Methods: Thirty pairs of edentulous casts were divided into 3 groups randomly and equally. In each group, one of the three techniques (SLM, EBM, conventional technique) was used to fabricate Ti alloy frameworks. The base-cast sets were transversally sectioned into 3 sections at the distal of canines, mesial of first molars, and the posterior palatal zone. The gap between the metal base and cast was measured in the 3 sections. Stereoscopic microscope was used to measure the gap. Three pieces of specimens of 5 mm diameter were fabricated with Ti alloy by SLM, EBM and the traditional casting technology (as mentioned above). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to evaluate the differences of microstructure among these specimens. Results: The gaps between the metal base and cast were (99.4±17.0), (98.2±26.1), and (99.6± 16.1) μm in conventional method; (99.4 ± 22.8), (83.1 ± 19.3), and (103.3 ± 13.8) μm in SLM technique; (248.3±70.3), (279.1±71.9), and (189.1±31.6) μm in EBM technique. There was no statistical difference in the value of gaps between SLM Ti alloy and conventional method Ti alloy group (P>0.05). There was statistical difference among EBM Ti alloy, conventional method Ti alloy and SLM Ti alloy group (P<0.05). The SLM Ti alloy showed more uniform and compact microstructure than the cast Ti alloy and EBM Ti alloy did. Conclusions SLM technique showed initial feasibility to manufacture the dental base of complete denture. The mechanical properties and microstructure of the denture frameworks prepared by SLM indicate that these dentures are appropriate for clinical use. EBM technique is inadequate to make a complete denture now.
