The present invention disclosed a method of producing a three-dimensional porous tissue in-growth structure. The method includes the steps of depositing a first layer of metal powder and scanning the first layer of metal powder with a laser beam to form a portion of a plurality of predetermined unit cells. Depositing at least one additional layer of metal powder onto a previous layer and repeating the step of scanning a laser beam for at least one of the additional layers in order to continuing forming the predetermined unit cells. The method further includes continuing the depositing and scanning steps to form a medical implant.

Proposed is a method of processing micro-holes formed in an upper mold used for adsorbing, transferring, and laminating a thin structure. The micro-holes drilled by setting n mono-layers in a thickness direction of the upper mold, applying the femtosecond pulsed laser beam onto a second mono-layer in a given pattern, processing the micro-holes at a thickness of the next mono-layer in a 2D manner, and sequentially applying the femtosecond pulsed laser beam to the mono-layers while lowering a focus of the laser in units of 1 /n. The femtosecond pulsed laser beam is applied along inner surfaces of the micro-holes, thereby adjusting a dimension of a diameter of each of the micro-holes to be processed, and improving surface roughness of each of the inner surfaces of the micro-holes. Surroundings of an inlet-side edge are chamfered or rounded to prevent generation of the burrs and damage to the thin film sheet.
