The aim of this work is to describe the mechanical behavior of the novel trabecular structure. It is a porous structure that comprises of beams of equal length embedded into a 3D matrix. 3D printing was used to create test specimens. To determine the values of Young's modulus E and reduced modulus Er, we performed nanoindentation and tensile and compression tests. The tensile test was then used as a baseline for the development of a numerical model. The next effort will be to apply the model onto a real implant that was invented and patented in Czech Republic. © 2017 Technical University of Košice - Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
