An apparatus for fabrication of a multiple memory material including: a feeding assembly for feeding shape memory material； a processing station aligned with the feeding assembly to receive the shape memory material to be processed； at least one energy source aligned with an energy source aperture to provide energy to the shape memory material； a shielding gas provider attached to a shielding gas engagement portion to provide shielding gas； and a controller configured to control the feeding assembly, the shielding gas provider and the energy source according to predetermined parameters to form the multiple memory material. A method for fabricating a multiple memory material including: determining process parameters for the shape memory material, via a controller； receiving shape memory material at a feeding assembly； feeding the shape memory material, via the feed assembly, to a processing station； providing shielding gas to the processing station, via a shielding gas provider； and providing energy to the shape memory material, via at least one energy source, based on the process parameters to produce the multiple memory material.
