Continuous Liquid Interface Production

In the rapidly growing field of additive manufacturing (AM), the focus in recent years has shifted from prototyping to manufacturing fully functional, ultralight, ultrastiff end-use parts. This research investigates the mechanical behavior of octahedral, octet, vertex centroid, dode, diamond, rhombi octahedron, rhombic dodecahedron and solid lattice structured polyacrylate fabricated using Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology based on 3D printing and additive manufacturing processes. The compressive stress-strain behavior of the lattice structures observed is typical of cellular structures which include a region of nominally elastic response, yielding, plastic strain hardening to a peak in strength, followed by a drop in flow stress to a plateau region and finally rapid hardening associated with contact of the deformed struts with each other as part of densification. It was found that the elastic modulus and strength of the various lattice structured materials are proportional to each other. In addition, it was found that the octahedral, octet and diamond lattice structures are amongst the most efficient based on the measured specific stiffness and specific strength.

Proof Of Concept

Abstract Lattice structures offer great benefits when employed in medical implants for cell attachment and growth (osseointegration), minimization of stress shielding phenomena, and weight reduction. This study is focused on a proof of concept for developing a generic shoulder hemi-prosthesis, from a patient-specific case of a 46 years old male with a tumor on the upper part of his humerus. A personalized biomodel was designed and a lattice structure was integrated in its middle portion, to lighten weight without affecting humerus’ mechanical response. To select the most appropriate lattice structure, three different configurations were initially tested: Tetrahedral Vertex Centroid (TVC), Hexagonal Prism Vertex Centroid (HPVC), and Cubic Diamond (CD). They were fabricated in resin by digital light processing and its mechanical behavior was studied via compression testing and finite element modeling (FEM). The selected structure according to the results was the HPVC, which was integrated in a digital twin of the biomodel to validate its mechanical performance through FEM but substituting the bone material model with a biocompatible titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) suitable for prostheses fabrication. Results of the simulation showed acceptable levels of Von Mises stresses (325 MPa max.), below the elastic limit of the titanium alloys, and a better response (52 MPa max.) in a model with equivalent elastic properties, with stress performance in the same order of magnitude than the showed in bone’s material model.

Discrete Fiber

A number of theoretical frameworks embodying the disparity between tensile and compressive properties of cartilage have been proposed, accounting for the collagen fibers implicitly [1,2] or explicitly [3–5]. These models generally propose discrete fiber families to describe the collagen matrix. They are able to capture the most salient features of the cartilage mechanical response, namely, the tension-compression nonlinearity of the stress-strain curve [6].

Nowadays, additive manufacturing (AM) permits to realize complex metallic structural parts, and the use of NiTi alloy, known as Nitinol, allows the integration of specific functions to the AM products. One of the most promising designs for AM is concerning the use of lattice structures that show lightweight, higher than bulk material deformability, improved damping properties, high exchange surface. Moreover, lattice structures can be realized with struts, having dimensions below 1 mm—this is very attractive for the realization of Nitinol components for biomedical devices. In this light, the present work regarded the experimental characterization of lattice structures, produced by selective laser melting (SLM), by using Ni-rich NiTi alloy. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and compression testing were carried out for analyzing microstructure, martensitic transformation (MT) evolution, and superelasticity response of the SLMed lattice samples. The lattice microstructures were compared with those of the SLMed bulk material for highlighting differences. Localized martensite was detected in the nodes zones, where the rapid solidification tends to accumulate solidification stresses. An increase of martensitic transformation temperatures was also observed in lattice NiTi.
