    A panel of SEM images depicts surface-adhered particles (indicated) in the porous layer of 3D-printed acetabular cups, and the variability of the particles with 3D-printing methods; electron beam melting (EBM) and selective laser melting (SLM). All images at ×200 magnification.

    Techniques Used:

    A 3D-printed implant (e.g. (A) an acetabular cup). A micro-CT scan of the implant can assist in determining (B) the diameter of the implant and provide (C) isolated slices of the internal structure for measurement of (D) the thickness of the porous region, (E) the dense region, and (F) the total thickness.

    Techniques Used: Micro-CT, Isolation

    (A) Image generated from micro-CT data to show voids in the dense region of a 3D-printed acetabular cup. From these images, void location and frequency can be analysed. This will be followed by (B) void size and shape evaluation.

    (A) A render of a custom 3D-printed acetabular cup created using Micro-CT data and imported into analysis software (Simpleware, Synopsys, Exeter, UK). From this data, (B) the porous layer is examined and isolated, and (C) a mesh model of the structure is generated. (D) A single mesh unit can then be extracted, followed by (E) best fit modelling with a sphere, to assist in calculating the porosity of the porous layer.
