  • Gyroid Infills for Structural Optimization and Biomedical Applications
    Presented by Ana Pais
    Functionally graded cellular structures allow for many possibilities in the field of structural optimization and implant design in order to avoid stress shielding. The gyroid shape is particularly suitable for permeability, cell growth, and proliferation. This presentation shows ways of combining 3D printing and numerical simulation to achieve new designs for biomedical implants with a higher success rate.
