Abstract
Printing magnesium in an inert atmosphere while ensuring safe material handling will require specialized equipment. Therefore, the additive manufacturing of disposable magnesium-based implants poses certain challenges because of inherent properties of magnesium mixes, such as a higher vapour pressure and a stronger inclination to oxidize. The high rate of corrosion of magnesium-based implants leads to cytotoxicity, hydrogen evolution, alkalization, unintentional degradation, and structural failure.
