Titanium alloy boasts a number of advantageous properties, including a low specific gravity, high specific strength, low modulus of elasticity, corrosion resistance and easy cutting and processing. Additionally, it exhibits superior biocompatibility, making it an ideal material for a range of applications. Titanium is a key material in the medical sector, used in the production of surgical implants and orthopaedic instruments.
3D-printed titanium alloy bone plates can be customised to fit the patient's anatomy more closely, which improves biocompatibility and reduces the risk of complications after surgery.
