Nitinol, a remarkable alloy of nickel and titanium renowned for its unique shape memory and superelastic properties, has been instrumental in various industries for decades. Traditional fabrication methods, such as melting, metal transformation, and subtractive structuring, have been the norm in Nitinol production. The potential of alternative, additive deposition techniques, despite their precision and scalability, remains largely untapped in the manufacturing of Nitinol components, particularly those intended for clinical applications.
