In general, the acetabular hip cups are produced since 2007 by company LimaCorporate, a pioneer in the field of Additive Manufacturing. Benefits of using the AM process are in the lattice structure, which is created as a continuum and not as a coating. The lattice structure enhances the bone ingrowth and reduces the elastic modulus transition. The hip cup DELTA TT Acetabular Cup, coupled with BIOLOX® delta Ceramic liner, is produced since 2007.
