Abstract
A method for manufacturing an implant includes pre-selecting a designed porous microstructure having a lattice composed of cells, including selecting one or more predetermined cell topologies, selecting a predetermined porosity, cell strut thickness and packing factor of the lattice, and selecting an arrangement of the cells within the lattice to have a periodic and/or aperiodic arrangement. Additive manufacturing is used to form the designed porous lattice microstructure in at least a region of at least an external surface of the implant.
