  • Additive manufacturing on machined assembled parts
    Patent number: 12636157
    Abstract: An implant having two adjacent solid parts, a third solid part disposed between the two solid parts, and a porous part extending from the solid parts. The implant is fabricated by a process that includes first assembling the solid parts before additively manufacturing the porous part on surfaces defined by the solid parts. This process may include positioning a first fabricated component adjacent to a second fabricated component such that a side surface of the first fabricated component and a side surface of the second fabricated component form a build surface. Then additively manufacturing a structure on the build surface such that the structure extends across and is permanently fixed to both of the side surfaces of the first and the second fabricated components such that the first and the second fabricated components form part of the implant.
