The analysis of the mechanical properties of F75 Co-Cr alloy for use in selective laser melting (SLM) manufacturing of removable partial dentures (RPD)

Abstract

The presented work discusses the applicability of the selective laser melting technique (SLM) in manufacture of removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks with the emphasis on material properties. The paper presents initial results of a conducted test of the mechanical properties of the F75 Co-Cr dental alloy used with selective laser melting.
