Abstract
Laser technology of micro-metallurgy of powders (Selective Laser Melting, SLM) is applied to manufacture three-dimensional metal objects of any shape. These objects are manufactured by melting powder of metal layer by layer with a high-power laser. Each melted layer has a contour marked with a cross-section by a 3D model of the manufactured object. Wide application of SLM technologies allows construction of implants used in dentistry, plates for osteosynthesis micro-screws, clasps, wires, nails and bone screws. It is possible to adjust the implant shape individually to the patient’s anatomy, and even to form a functional structure and surface (trabecular, sandwich or filled with pores of any shape, etc.) on the surface of the implant or inside of him. Such structure enables an effective growth of the bone tissue into the implant inside.
