Compliant Metal Disc

The idea is to 3D print a metal device that has two endplates with a compliant device sandwiched in between. The device would be printed as one part and would be customizable. The endplates could be customized to the geometry of the patients anatomy, and the compliant device could be customized to the biomechanical properties required. Also the metal device would hopefully be more stronger, longer lasting, and produce less wear device than current viscoelastic artificial discs.
