| Popis: | Manufacturing of medical implants constitutes always a challenge, regarding the constraints involved for these applications, e.g. need for suitable materials or appropriate dimensional tolerances. The aforementioned pose also challenges for the machining process itself, regarding the appropriate machining conditions and machine tool setup and so it is considered as a subject of interest. In the present work, the manufacturing process for knee implants, especially for the femoral component of this type of implants, is discussed, encompassing all the stages from design and planning of each step of the process up to actual machining of the implant component. Finally, the surface quality of the implant after finishing process is assessed for each of the three different finishing processes applied, in order to determine the suitable machining parameters required. |
