3D-Printed Hip Implant with Lattice Structure

About this project

Compare stress in solid vs. lattice-structured implants. Geometry: • Implant dimensions: 0.15 m × 0.02 m (diameter). • Lattice structure: Gyroid (50% porosity). Material: Titanium (E = 110 GPa, ν = 0.33). Boundary Conditions: • 1 kN compressive load simulating body weight. • Fixed support at the distal end. Analysis Steps (SimScale): 1. Static structural analysis. 2. Homogenize lattice properties (simplified model). 3. Compare stress and weight reduction. Deliverables: • Stress distribution in lattice vs. solid. • Weight reduction percentage. Validation: Compare with experimental data on lattice compression.
