Ltd.10.26689/bas.v1i1.4980Article3D Printing of Titanium Implants at the University of Debrecenhttps://artdesignp.com/journal/BAS/1/1/10.26689/bas.v1i1.4980BodrogDóra Eszter2023112023-06-09Additive manufacturing technologies are becoming increasingly popular in the field of medicine. Advances in laser-based techniques, which can also be used to print metals, have made it possible to produce fully customized, biocompatible implants, which are a major breakthrough in the treatment of bone defects. The University of Debrecen is involved in the production of such implants. On the basis of the available literature and preliminary experience, the individualization of implants, the implantability and material requirements, and the novelties offered by the technology are summarized in this paper.
