摘要:
The present invention provides implants and a method of designing and manufacturing implants using an additive process that avoids damage when removing the implant from a build surface of an additive process machine. The inventive method involves designing an implant and build orientation with a portion of increased volumetric density in contact with the build surface. In some embodiments, the contact area between a device and a build surface is reduced to provide easier detachment after the additive process is complete.
