Summary of the analysis performed during which (a) the unused patient-specific 3D-printed implants were obtained, (b) the implants were micro-CT imaged, reconstructed for computational analysis and the variation in porosity within a single cup mapped, (c) the 2D scan slices were used to determine the maximum and minimum depth of the porous structure, (d) samples from the porous regions were extracted to determine the level of porosity, (e) sub-samples were used to determine pore diameter and (f) analysis of the mesh struts was used to determine the wall thickness of the porous structure
