This study presents a dipcasting method that can deposit both porous and dense bioceramic coatings onto 3D Ti‐mesh made from commercially pure Ti‐mesh for surgical applications. First, a dense bioglass coating was deposited onto the 3D Ti‐mesh, which is to seal off the Ti‐mesh. Second, a microporous HA/bioglass coating was deposited on top of the dense bioglass coating, which is to promote bone regeneration into the 3D Ti‐mesh. X‐ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy were used to analyze the bioceramic coatings and cross‐sectional microstructures. Vickers microhardness across the interface between bioceramic coating and Ti‐substrate was measured.
