Nature Communications, Published online: 14 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-71927-6 Researchers combined CALPHAD, machine learning, and multi-objective optimisation to design an AM-specific titanium alloy for implant and orthopaedic applications. Laser powder bed fusion produced low-stiffness (~43 GPa), high-ductility (~31%) components, with good cell compatibility.
