The present invention relates to an implant fusion device and a method of manufacturing an implant fusion device. More particularly an orthopedic or spinal implant configured to be implanted between adjacent vertebrae or within a gap in a bone or between bones, the device having a manufactured body structure simulating the physical characteristics of trabecular bone, but with improved osteoinductive features on the exterior surface wherein the device is fabricated using 3D printing. Alternatively, the implant may be made through 3D printing in a manner that results in a relatively or completely solid structure, but with a surface that mimics trabecular bone structure.
A method of making a spinal implant device or orthopedic device or bone implant device wherein the structure is produced through a 3D printing additive process, which is then further processed with a laser etching technology that results in a nanotechnology structure at the surface that facilitates bone attachment and growth.
A spinal implant device or orthopedic device or bone implant device produced through a 3D printing additive process in a biocompatible material or materials that is further processed through a subtractive laser etching process that results in a surface or surfaces with nanometer-level structural elements.
A method of making a spinal implant device or orthopedic device or bone implant device comprises the steps of:
