Additive manufacturing, particularly selective laser melting (SLM) and selective laser sintering (SLS), are important processes in biomedical engineering applications. The development of functionally graded materials/structures for applications in biomedical field is to improve the osseointegration between metallic implants and hard tissue of human body. The present study highlights the progress and challenges of SLM/SLS of compositionally/structures graded Titanium-Hydroxyapatite. To perform this objective, the present study reviews the effect of SLM parameters on microstructures and mechanical properties of metallic implants. A brief review of development of Ti alloys is also included. This paper sheds new light on SLM/SLS of Ti alloys and hydroxyapatite.
