In this paper, we present the results of using selective laser melting (SLM) to produce biomedical beta Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn components, including the manufacture of a sample acetabular cup. The density of the material increases with increasing incident laser energy (i.e. decreasing laser scan speed) and reaches a near full density value of > 99% without any post-processing. The mechanical properties of the as-processed material are also compared to those of conventionally processed material. (C) 2011 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
