Additive mannufacturing of a medical device

A method of manufacturing a medical device, the method comprising:

• determining the material composition of a base material, wherein the base material includes a first percentage of a first metal and a second percentage of a second metal;
• selecting a laser processing wavelength which is common to both the first metal and the second metal;
• processing the base material with a laser to form a first layer of processed material, wherein the laser emits a laser beam matching the laser processing wavelength which is common to both the first metal and the second metal during the processing of the base material;
• disposing additional base material on the first layer of the processed material;
• processing the additional base material disposed on the first layer of the processed material to form a second layer of processed material which is fused with the first layer of processed material, wherein the fused first and second layers of processed material form at least a portion of the medical device;
• wherein processing the base material to form the medical device with the laser processing wavelength which is common to both the first metal and the second metal minimizes an unequal vaporization of the first metal relative to the second metal.
