Objectives, activities and expected/achieved results

The main objective of the GradImp project is to develop a new concept of biodegradable iron temporary implants that combine:
- an improved degradation rate, mechanical behaviour and biocompatibility of a new graded design with different cells in comparison with compact iron.
- an advanced manufacturing technique, Selective Laser Melting (SLM) that will enable to fabricate a complex structure with high accuracy.
