Problems solved by technology

When this technical solution is used to prepare parts by additive manufacturing, because the powder is in the shape of a polyhedron, it is easy to have defects such as cavities and fine cracks on the surface of the formed part. However, medical implants do not require high density of the formed part, and even porous parts are more suitable for cells. Adhesion and growth, while in the preparation of conventional parts, high density and flat surface of the parts are required, so it is not suitable for conventional metal laser additive manufacturing
