ZTM14N belongs to ZTi-Med® powder family. It is a Titanium ternary alloy; it is a biocompatible material designed to maintain a good strength-ductility ratio. It has a very low elastic modulus (Young modulus) of  38 GPa which makes it very close to the elastic modulus of the human bone (~30 GPa).  ZTM14N does not contain any toxic elements such as vanadium and aluminium found in Ti64. Because of its unique properties, ZTM14N offers a large range of applications such as medical and luxury. The powder design, in addition to the additive manufacturing melting process, was optimized to ensure good melting conditions on all commercially available AM machines. The exceptional elasticity of ZTM14N makes it one of the unique innovations in the AM. To validate the PBF process, ZTM14N powder was used to manufacture medical implants such as clavicle and maxilla implants.
