Novel (near) beta Ti alloys are promising load-bearing bone implant materials due to their low Young’s moduli and non-toxic constituents, thus exhibiting an enhanced biocompatibility. Our research project focused on the additive manufacturing of Ti-13Nb-13Zr using the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technique. Specifically, the influence of the LPBF process parameters as well as thermal post-treatment on the microstructural properties and the resulting mechanical and corrosion properties were investigated. In order to further enhance the biofunctionality, the LPBF-produced Ti-13Nb-13Zr specimens were laser-textured using Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) with nanosecond (ns) and picosecond (ps) pulses, forming single-scale and multi-scale hierarchical topographies, respectively. Multiscale surface chemical and microstructural analyses (AES, XPS, XRD, SEM, TEM, GD-OES, contact angle) were performed to explore the influence of the DLIP treatment on the corrosion behaviour in PBS. Cell biological \textit{in vitro} studies with human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSC) on untextured as well as ns-DLIP and ps-DLIP textured specimens were performed to study the effect of DLIP treatment on cell response (cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation).
