Laser sintered titanium bone rasp designed by

Within Technologies for hollowing out femurs prior

to inserting an implant

Within Technologies, a design consultancy based in London, UK, showed how the boundaries of Additive Manufacturing could be broadened in medical applications with a titanium bone rasp for hollowing out femurs before inserting an implant.

The custom-designed Ti bone rasp is made using EOS laser sintering technology with titanium alloy powder. Within Technologies has also optimised the design and lattice structure/surface skin of an acetabular cup to allow speedy integration with the patient’s bone.

Other Ti devices developed by Within using laser sintering include spinal and finger implants.
