Abstract

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has revolutionized manufacturing processes by enabling the creation of complex structures layer by layer from digital models. This technology plays a pivotal role in Industry 4.0, characterized by smart manufacturing and the integration of cyber-physical systems. This review explores the various processes used in 3D printing, the range of materials employed, and the diverse applications of 3D printing in industry. Key processes discussed include Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and Digital Light Processing (DLP). The materials reviewed span from polymers and metals to ceramics and composites. The paper also examines the impact of 3D printing on various industries, including healthcare, aerospace, automotive, and consumer goods, highlighting how this technology fosters innovation, customization, and efficiency

Keywords: 3D printing, Selective Laser Sintering, Digital Light Processing, computer-aided design, Biocompatible
