Abstract
This paper presents a novel numerical model based on the lattice discrete particle model to
simulate the behaviour of 3D-printed alloy structures. The overall research focuses on
improving implants' mechanical performance and biocompatibility, specifically addressing
issues like stress shielding, bone mass loss, and implant loosening. By modelling materials
at the particle scale, the lattice discrete particle model effectively captures the
mesostructure of 3D-printed metals. The contribution develops two plasticity models to
account for the material properties of titanium alloys. The effects of inherent porosity
due to 3D printing are incorporated into the model, revealing significant performance
impacts, particularly for structures close to the printing limit.
