1. A method for forming an implant having an inner core and an outer layer which comprises:

  • fabricating a preform with an open pore network;

    coating at least a portion of the outer layer of the preform with a fugitive material to form an inhibition layer and to define infusion channels;

    infusing selected regions of the inner core through the infusion channels with at least one infusing media;

    forming an interpenetrating phase composite in the inner core; and

    removing the fugitive material from the outer layer thereby forming a porous outer layer.
