Abstract The authors have created a highly unique structures that combine gradient functionality and porosity by using metal additive manufacturing (AM) to create Rhizoid Porous Structure (RPS) and control their internal microstructure. This paper presents a specific example of this approach. The findings from this research could lead to novel structures with multiple synergistic functionalities, such as those used in implant structures. The application scope of this method is not limited to the biomedical field but is expected to have a wide range of applications.
