The state-of-the-art alloys for load-bearing implant applications lack the necessary functional attributes and are largely a compromise between biocompatibility and mechanical properties.While commercial alloys pose long-term toxicity and detrimental stress shielding effects, the newly developed alloys are closing in on the gaps, however, falling short of the desired elastic modulus necessary to rule out stress shielding. In this work, we report the fabrication of a low modulus β-Ti alloy, Ti-35Nb-7Zr-5Ta (TNZT), by selective laser melting (SLM)
