Abstract: Titanium is one of the well-known materials in orthopedic and odontology due to chemical inertness, mechanical resistance, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. In order to reduce the negative biologic response while maintaining adequate function of an implant in the body a suitable fabrication process is important. LRM is one of the advanced additive manufacturing processes that is capable of fabricating engineering components directly from a solid model. As a result, the fabricated structure is highly customized and expected to have biomechanical properties, which are comparable to those of autogenous tissues without any ill effects. This paper reports the cytocompatability studies of the laser manufactured porous Ti disc in cell culture of L929 cells in-vitro using Direct contact method.
