As described early, it is very important to manufacture implants with high accuracy and precision. The implant has been manufactured using various AM methods such as SLM, Electron Beam Melting (EBM), In these methods, the smallest printable size is 50-200μm which is too small to be used for some biomedical scaffold or certain producing big in size on biomedical implant application [2]. Design of Cellular Structures In biomedical orthopedics application, lattice structures are used as cellular implant that attempt to function of bone and mimic the structure [3]. The cellular structures can be used either asan implant or scaffold. In either case, the cellular implant ought to be designed to such an extent that its mechanical performance similar that of human bone, though considering different issues that optimized bone ingrowth. For instance, the mass transport and cell migration in our bone tissue can be controlled through well-designed ofpermeabilitycellular structure structures [4,5].

A Short Review on Cellular Structure Design and Selective La- ser Melting using Bio-compatible Ti6Al4V Material. Biomed J Sci & Tech Res 27(1)- 2020. BJSTR. MS.ID.004457. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is one of the most significant in bio medical application to manufacture the implant for bone repairing applications. The implant has a cellular structure inside which is used in biomedical implant, that is used to allow our bone ingrowth. The implant material should be biodegradable, non-toxic, have similar biomechanical properties and have a porous. Due to this reason it is very significant important to design and produce implant with high accuracy. In this review, design cellular structure and AM technology of fabrication biomedical implant using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process is detail reviewed. As per According to necessities of medical orthopedic applications, the choice of high quality AM technology printing technique and Ti6Al4V metal powder were surveyed. Aside from this biomedical -AM printing application, the biocompatible Ti6Al4V alloy will be broadly used in implant bone application, in addition to that used for scaffold in tissue engineering.
