Graded Ti-6Al-4V mesh structures were fabricated by electron beam melting. Through appropriate design of property and volume fraction of each constituent, graded meshes with high strength and energy absorption can be fabricated, which open-up new avenues for the fabrication of bionic cellular implants with radial graded density, like femoral and tibial bones.
