Acetabular Cup, used in hip surgery. Additive manufacturing can be used to design specific features and textures into devices. The surface structure of this hip implant has been designed and manufactured to encourage bone growth into the surface of the implant and better bonding of the implant to the patient’s hip

Material: Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al- 4V)

Process: Electron Beam Melting (EBM)
