Abstract

This review presents the transformative potential of powder bed fusion (PBF) in manufacturing orthopedic implants, with a particular focus on β‐Ti‐Nb‐based ternary and quaternary titanium alloys. These alloys, such as Ti–18Zr–14Nb, Ti–29Nb–13Ta–4.6Zr, and Ti–35Nb–7Zr–5Ta (TNZT), offer significant advantages over conventional materials like Co–Cr alloys and Ti–6Al–4V due to their lower Young's modulus, excellent biocompatibility, and reduced stress shielding effects. The review covers the period from 2015 to September 2024 and highlights advancements in PBF‐fabricated β‐Ti alloys, emphasizing their potential to improve implant longevity and patient outcomes by minimizing the risks of implant failure associated with conventional materials.
