摘要

Additive manufacturing constructs a 3D object based on the digital model provided by the computer. The design is often regarded as a computer-aided design model or CAD model. The construction requires another technique called 3D printing that brings the 2D model to a 3D object. The layers are added in the printing process according to the geometric data, and the designed part is produced without using a mold or wasting material. This manufacturing technology is rapidly developing and has been used in various sectors, including defense, construction, robotics, aviation, etc. Free-form parts are readily made using this manufacturing technique with customization. These abilities are required in the biomedical field as the need for personalized medicine and customized grafts is growing. The material research has provided different materials that can be used in additive manufacturing, including plastic, metal, composite, and organic materials. The technology has been preferred in the biomedical field due to the need for personal attention to the details and customization needs that are offered in additive manufacturing. The design can be printed using several 3D printing methods, such as fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), etc. In this chapter, the need for additive manufacturing in the biomedical field is discussed, including the use of customized 3D models, personalized medicine, and drug delivery. The advantages and limitations of additive manufacturing for the biomedical fields are also discussed, shining light on the future scope of the technology and the field. The application of additive manufacturing is also discussed, highlighting the need for customization and the material used in the process.
