<div>This paper was prepared as a part of research and development activities carried out within the framework of the project of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic reg. no. FW06010136. The aim is to design technological procedures to produce biocompatible alloys, to verify these procedures for the content of undesirable gases and inclusions. Piece semi-finished products in the state of Ti in the G1 grade from a tubular sputter target, Nb in the form of sheared from a sputter target, Ta in the form of evaporative springs, Sn is in the form of reworked blanks. The processing procedure was designed on modern metallurgical technology using plasma melting in a cold crucible. This reprocessed medical grade TiNbTaSn alloy was subsequently reworked into a semi-finished product by suitable ultrasonic atomization on a titanium core platform. The powder thus produced in the 10 to 100 μm fraction was submitted to further downstream experiments. The possibilities of 3D print of the prepared powder were tested.</div>
