a Image of the initial batch of as-printed TiZrNbTa cubes for process optimization. b Normalized processing map plotting \({h}^{* }\) against a normalized unitless energy density required to melt the material, where the red highlighted region illustrates the effective processing window with minimized pores and un-melted particles. The red-star samples represent the samples where both the areal fractions of pores and un-melted particles are below 1%.
