Hedayati, R. (author), Amin Yavari, S. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Additively manufactured porous titanium implants, in addition to preserving the excellent biocompatible properties of titanium, have very small stiffness values comparable to those of natural bones. Although usually loaded in compression, biomedical implants can also be under tensional, shear, and bending loads which leads to crack initiation...journal article 2017

Langelaar, Matthijs (author)Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the fabrication of parts of unprecedented complexity. Dedicated topology optimization approaches, that account for specific AM restrictions, are instrumental in fully exploiting this capability. In popular powder-bed-based AM processes, the critical overhang angle of downward facing surfaces limits...journal article 2018

van de Ven, E.A. (author), Maas, Robert (author), Ayas, C. (author), Langelaar, Matthijs (author), van Keulen, A. (author)Additive manufacturing enables the nearly uncompromised production of optimized topologies. However, due to the overhang limitation, some designs require a large number of supporting structures to enable manufacturing. Because these supports are costly to build and difficult to remove, it is desirable to find alternative designs that do not...journal article 2018
