Nowadays, additive manufacturing is becoming more and more widespread and has also entered medical practice. Many implants are made using AM technology, which allows implants to be fully customisable. However, the osseointegration of prostheses is influenced by a number of factors, such as the material of the prosthesis and the size of the pores in the prosthesis. The aim of this study is to present the potential of different additively manufactured prostheses and to illustrate the limitations of their application based on a comprehensive literature review. This will provide a comprehensive overview of engineering and the latest manufacturing technologies and medical applications.
