“…This has given rise to a domain in manufacturing called hybrid manufacturing for quicker and more efficient production. Furthermore, with efficient cost models, the cost of parts produced by AM can be significantly optimized to encourage different industries and individuals to utilize AM for several applications [231]. Areas such as organ printing, biomedical scaffolding, and auxetic prosthetics, among many others can pave the way for quicker treatment protocols and easier access to assistive devices [232].…”

Auxetic structures are a special class of structural components that exhibit a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) because of their constituent materials, internal microstructure, or structural geometry. To realize such structures, specialized manufacturing processes are required to achieve a dimensional accuracy, reduction of material wastage, and a quicker fabrication. Hence, additive manufacturing (AM) techniques play a pivotal role in this context. AM is a layer-wise manufacturing process and builds the structure as per the designed geometry with appreciable precision and accuracy. Hence, it is extremely beneficial to fabricate auxetic structures using AM, which is otherwise a tedious and expensive task. In this study, a detailed discussion of the various AM techniques used in the fabrication of auxetic structures is presented. The advancements and advantages put forward by the AM domain have offered a plethora of opportunities for the fabrication and development of unconventional structures. Therefore, the authors have attempted to provide a meaningful encapsulation and a detailed discussion of the most recent of such advancements pertaining to auxetic structures. The article opens with a brief history of the growth of auxetic materials and later auxetic structures. Subsequently, discussions centering on the different AM techniques employed for the realization of auxetic structures are conducted. The basic principle, advantages, and disadvantages of these processes are discussed to provide an in-depth understanding of the current level of research. Furthermore, the performance of some of the prominent auxetic structures realized through these methods is discussed to compare their benefits and shortcomings. In addition, the influences of geometric and process parameters on such structures are evaluated through a comprehensive review to assess their feasibility for the latermentioned applications. Finally, valuable insights into the applications, limitations, and prospects of AM for auxetic structures are provided to enable the readers to gauge the vitality of such manufacturing as a production method.

The popular name which is known by the most people and the market is 3D printing. It is an emerging manufacturing technology used to fabricate, real life parts using CAD data by adding material in layer fashion in distinct form (solid, liquid and powder). 3D printing technology is the reverse of conventional/subtractive manufacturing, owing to its design flexibility, customization, material complexity, size range, waste minimization, tool less and the ability to manufacture complicated shapes. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of distinct 3D printer applications in different sector. In addition, this review paper summarizes the merits, demerits, future and challenges, so that this review paper could become the torch bearer for the futuristic researchers working in the area of 3D printing.

“…It offers an exclusive advantage for coating miniature and complex medical devices like stent with drugs/polymer combinations in cases where the active drug is very expensive, and wastage is not tolerated (Tarcha et al, 2007). In recent years, 3D printing technology has been implemented in biomanufacturing of coatings and scaffolds (Aljohani & Desai, 2018; Desai et al, 2009; Desai, Richardson, et al, 2010 Parupelli & Desai, 2019).…”

Metallic biomaterials have traditionally been used for implant devices due to their corrosion resistance properties in the body (Zheng et al., 2014). However, recently, a new class of biodegradable materials has evolved, thereby expanding the traditional paradigm as an alternative for medical implant devices Desai & Shankar, 2021). Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have attracted considerable research interest for biomedical applications because of their promising properties such as biocompatibility, low density, high
