A BUSINESS CASE STUDY FOR COMPARING THE MANUFACTURING OF IMPLANT-SUPPORTED DENTURE FRAMES THROUGH DIRECT METAL LASER SINTERING TO CONVENTIONAL CASTING AND MACHINING PROCESSES

van der Walt, JG; van den Heever, JH; Els, J; Booysen, GJ (Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, Central University of Technology, Free State, South Africa, 2016)

Retaining dentures in edentulous patients is a common problem which can be overcome through the use of implant-supported denture frames. These frames are conventionally manufactured through the lost wax investment casting ...
Determination of the fatigue properties of Ti6Al4V (ELI) parts built by a direct metal laser sintering system with standard process parameters followed by post-processing treatments

Malefane, Lerata Botsane (Bloemfontein : Central University of Technology, Free State, 2019-02)

Design of hard tissue medical prostheses is typically based on the mechanical properties of the materials used. However, apart from non-loadbearing implants, medical prostheses in use are exposed to various forms of dynamic ...
The geometrical accuracy of a custom artificial intervertebral disc implant manufactured using Computed Tomography and Direct Metal Laser Sintering

De Beer, N.; Odendaal, A.I. (Journal for New Generation Sciences, Vol 10, Issue 3: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, 2012)

Rapid Manufacturing (RM) has emerged over the past few years as a potential technology to successfully produce patient-specific implants for maxilla/facial and cranial reconstructive surgeries. However, in the area of ...
IN-SITU ALLOYING PROCESS OF TI6AL4V-xCU STRUCTURES BY DIRECT METAL LASER SINTERING

Kinnear, A.; Dzogbewu, T. C.; Yadroitsava, I.; Yadroitsev, I. (SUNConferences, 17th Annual Conference of the Rapid Product Development Association of South Africa, 2016)

In this paper the fabrication of in-situ Ti6Al4V-xCu alloy structures by DMLS are investigated. Ti6Al4V is a commonly used biomedical alloy because of it suitable mechanical and biocompatible properties. Copper is a proven ...
NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING OF THE PARTS MANUFACTURED BY DIRECT METAL LASER SINTERING

Kouprianoff, D.; du Plessis, A.; Yadroitsava, I.; Yadroitsev, I. (SUNConferences, 17th Annual Conference of the Rapid Product Development Association of South Africa, 2016)

Interest in Additive Manufacturing (AM) has grown considerably in the past decades. The industry has gained the great benefits from this type of technologies. The main advantages being geometrical freedom that allows ...
OPTIMAL PROCESS PARAMETERS FOR DIRECT METAL LASER SINTERING OF TI64 FOR MEDICAL IMPLANT PRODUCTION

ELS, JOHAN (Bloemfontein: Central University of Technology, Free State, 2016)

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is a layer-by-layer Additive Manufacturing (AM) process that creates physical metal parts from three-dimensional (3D) Computer Aided Design (CAD) data. For DMLS to be generally accepted ...
