Design and study of additively manufactured Three periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structured porous titanium interbody cage
The volume fraction of the 3D-printed TC4-based Tubular-G structure was linearly related to compressive strength. Adjusting the volume fraction resulted in a Tubular-G structure with a modulus and yield strength similar to human bone, without stress concentration within the structure. The designed and fabricated TC4-based Tubular-G porous cervical interbody cage demonstrated excellent anti-sagging properties and biocompatibility.
