Additive Manufacturing—Medical
Originally designed in metal, the WREX was too heavy for Emma, who was two years old and 25 lbs when first presented with the device.
It’s little surprise as to why: Additive pro- cesses can build complex human shapes, even with particular finishes, that may take more steps and time to produce—or may even be impossible to produce—with tradi- tional subtractive or formative methods. Take, for example, trabecular struc- tures, which are fine, lattice-shaped structures that allow living bone to fuse to an implant, a process called oseointegra- tion. Arcam AB (Mölndal, Sweden), which specializes in electron beam melting (EBM) additive manufacturing, now allows the ability to specify pore geometry, pore size, and density and roughness of structures for trabecular structures and surfaces. What’s more, additive manufacturing can produce parts for relatively low cost, in
