Lim, Kheng Kiong Wang Dongan School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering DRNTU::Engineering::Bioengineering 206 p. Titanium (Ti) alloys have become essential biomaterials for orthopedic applications because of their excellent biocompatibility and good strength to weight ratio. Ti alloys were mechanically alloyed for 8hrs to 48hrs and subsequently, blended with different water soluble binder materials. The present research attempts to utilize three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology to develop a new alpha + beta Ti alloy. Experimental results revealed that higher saturation value exaggerated the wetting capability whereas lower layer thickness allowed easier absorption for Ti alloys. Linear regression analysis was also used to relate the experimental results based on fundamental theoretical principles. Results from these investigations showed maximum compression stress and load of new Ti alloy to be 206MPa and 15MPa that exhibited porous interconnectivity with irregular pore sizes from 19um to 230um suitable for proliferation of tissue. Furthermore, in-vitro studies using quantitative and qualitative assessment did not present any cytotoxicity indicating good biocompatibility for biomedical applications.
