METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING BIOMEDICAL ARTICLES, SUCH AS USING BIOMEDICALLY COMPATIBLE INFILTRANT METAL ALLOYS IN POROUS MATRICES

摘要

Various elements and alloys selected to achieve both biocompatibility and low melting point for use in infiltrating a porous matrix. The infiltrated porous matrix may be made of ceramic, metal, bioglass, or other suitable material. The infiltrated matrix may be used as a biomedical implant, such as for bone repair and regeneration. The matrix may be manufactured using solid free form fabrication techniques such as three-dimensional printing.
