Superelastic NiTi scaffolds with extensively tunable mechanical and mass transfer properties fabricated via LPBF

Caption

Using laser powder bed fusion technology (LPBF, a 3D printing technique), the microstructure and macrostructure of NiTi scaffolds are synergistically optimized by engineering hierarchical microstructures and gyroid-sheet topologies. This innovative design enhances superelasticity and enables a wide range of tunable properties.
