The proposed research program aims at developing a complete suite of technologies as the foundation towards 3D printed, individualized medical implants. The research will have a significant impact on the development and application of additive manufacturing in bone implants. Key innovations in the proposed research include the use of medical imaging to create individualized implants, implant design and manufacturing using lattice structures and functionally graded materials, and enhanced tribology of the customized implants. The project is expected to produce new intellectual property (IP) in the above areas, which will support the growth of Liburdi Engineering, a Canadian manufacturer of advanced additive manufacturing equipment, as well as medical imaging system provider Siemens Canada. The proposed project has significant potential impact for the growth of a key manufacturing technology, namely additive manufacturing, and its widespread application in biomedical implants.

拟议的研究计划旨在开发一套完整的技术，作为3D打印个性化医疗植入物的基础。该研究将对增材制造在骨植入物中的发展和应用产生重大影响。提出的研究中的关键创新包括使用医学成像来创建个性化植入物，使用晶格结构和功能梯度材料设计和制造植入物，以及增强定制植入物的摩擦学。该项目预计将在上述领域产生新的知识产权（IP），这将支持加拿大先进增材制造设备制造商Liburdi Engineering以及医疗成像系统提供商西门子加拿大公司的发展。拟议的项目对增材制造这一关键制造技术的发展及其在生物医学植入物中的广泛应用具有重大的潜在影响。
