ABSTRACT

Adaptive manufacturing integrates computational simulation with advanced manufacturing to optimize orthopedic implant design. A Ti-6Al-4V tibial plate was analyzed using ANSYS Mechanical 2025 R2 where a compressive load of 2000 N was applied on the model while restraining the bottom surface of the implant. Equivalent von Mises stress, total deformation, and equivalent elastic strain were evaluated. The simulation results showed a maximum equivalent stress of 1.835 MPa, maximum deformation of 1.352 × 10⁻⁷ m, and equivalent elastic strain of 1.661 × 10⁻⁵. The implant remained within the elastic range, indicating satisfactory structural integrity.
