Hi RP-er's
This is address to those interested in the use of RP for
the development of Prosthesis joint components.
I have been working in the area of slip casting metal powders for the
forming of tools both fully dense and porous. My idea is that this
technology could be used for the production of low cost porous prosthesis
components in much the same way the coral is used but a lot stronger.
As I understand it the best material would be a titanium with a pore
size of about 5 microns which I believe is achievable using this
forming method.
I would be interested in any comments on this idea and any body
interested in the development of the idea.

Thanks
Chris
