Electron beam melted scaffolds for orthopedic applications

•Porous scaffolds were studied for weight bearing biomedical applications.•Compression samples were additively manufactured using electron beam melting.•Reentrant and cubic Ti6Al4 V unit cell geometries were tested under compression.•Cubic scaffold outperformed the reentrant scaffold at the same relative density.•A cubic scaffold was proved suitable for load bearing biomedical applications.
