Within Medical is Within's offering to the orthopaedic industry which allows designers to design tailored lattices structures for

medical implants that are: Porous to aid osseointegration with various pore size configurations and lattice topologies. Rough to aid the fixation of the porous implant with the bone using rough lattice surfaces. Secure output designs are secure and can only be manufactured by specific manufactures. Accurate for Additive Manufacturing designs are optimised for specific additive manufacturing processes e.g. selective laser melting, allowing for an accurate output.

Within Medical has been developed with manufacturing in mind to ensure that the lattice designs displayed in the software are as accurate as possible when compared to the physical part built using additive manufacturing.

The lattice topologies supplied with this software have been developed with cell growth in mind and are best suited for this function. The output of the Within Medical software is also optimised for additive manufacture. The main advantages offered by the Within Medical are: Variable density lattices - Within Medical features Within's kernel technology which can be used to design variable density lattices where the thickness of beams smoothly varies based on a defined thickness range. The variable density can also follow a Linear or Gaussian function which provides users with greater design freedom.

Rougher surfaces - Surfaces can be made rougher using rough surface regions. This roughness can be tailored to be uniform throughout a surface region or vary in depth. This is very useful when designing an implant to have optimal fixation with the bone.

Complete design space filling- Lattices that are trimmed to a design space in Within Medical maintain their `completeness' i.e. all lattice beams maintain a cuboid shape after trimming which allows the design to maintain its porous nature at the surface. Instead, if a simple mathematical boolean was applied to a design space, it would usually produce an output which contains sharp sections at the surface and, in some cases, floating segments. These designs will not accurately preserve their porous nature at the surface and will be problematic to manufacture i.e. floating segments will interfere with the rest of the design when manufactured therefore producing inaccurate pores at the surface or wasted melted powder.

Accurate design to manufacture and validation - Within Medical has been developed with manufacturing in mind to ensure that the lattices designed and displayed in the software are accurate when compared to the physical part built using additive manufacturing. Manufacturing medical devices using additive manufacturing presents new risks including; ensuring that unmelted powder is successfully removed from the built part. Features in Within Medical ensure that lattice structures are designed that allow powder to be removed from the implant.
