“…While badminton has had three publications investigating the use of AM for shuttlecocks, these publications were produced by the same authors between 2013 and 2015, [33][34][35] indicating that research on this topic has not extended outside of a single research group. Running/walking exhibits a similar trend, with the ten publications produced by four distinct research groups: Salles et al are responsible for five of the publications investigating insoles, [36][37][38][39][40] Vinet et al have three publications on sprint shoes, [41][42][43] and the remaining two publications are produced by individual research groups investigating AM of vortex generators on running apparel 44 and AM of insoles. 45 The four articles within the sport of cycling are from discrete research groups.…”

“…As a result, research findings have not been validated by multiple research groups, and concepts have not been developed by many different researchers to build a body of evidence supporting the use of AM for a particular application. The extent of testing within the literature also suggests the development of sports products for AM are preliminary concepts, with several studies resulting in critical failure of parts, 42,43,52,53,57 while some studies featured a single sample for testing (although may have included several iterations for simulated tests). 34,35,51 In order to reach the level of acceptance and innovation experienced within the medical industry, consistent and ongoing research is required by sporting product designers within academia and industry, and value must be placed on funding research that may improve the safety, comfort and performance of athletes at all levels of competition and recreation.…”

“…• Opportunities: o Combined with 3D scanning, AM provides new cost-effective means for producing athlete-specific products 36,39,40,46,53,54 o Parametric CAD files allow for almost limitless iterations of a design to suit specific users and conditions 19,41,42,50,51,56,57 o Part consolidation to reduce assembly costs and open new possibilities with multimaterial AM 51,53,54 o Complex geometries that would not be manufacturable using subtractive methods provide new opportunities to improve performance 42,44,55 • Challenges: o Long-term durability of AM materials for sports applications is unclear, with most studies not containing longitudinal analyses, and featuring limited sample sizes 33,35,42,53 o AM is typically a slower process than traditional manufacturing processes 51,54 o Postprocessing can be time-and labor-intensive 52,54 o Many parts produced with AM must still interface with a conventional part to form a product, limiting geometry 49,51 o Optimization software still requires manual intervention and an understanding of design for AM 52,55 o New products produced through AM may not meet sporting regulations 19,44 o Laboratory testing may not translate to real-world conditions 19,34,56…”

Sport is an industry that may benefit from the opportunities offered by additive manufacturing (AM), and the media has portrayed increasing adoption of the technology in sports products. This systematic review aimed to consolidate and interpret the available empirical evidence concerning applications of AM in sports following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015. Four databases were searched within the date range of January 1984 to May 2019, using 28 broad and specific search phrases. This search resulted in 26 articles for analysis, the first appearing in 2010. Twelve sports in total were identified across the literature, with running/walking the most popular sport with ten articles (38%) investigating AM, followed by cycling with four articles (15%) and badminton with three articles (12%). Ten articles (38%) observed improvements in performance of products developed via AM compared to conventionally manufactured products, eight articles (31%) found a similar performance, and five articles (19%) found a lower performance. From a technical perspective, powder bed fusion technologies were the most utilized with 50% of articles using either selective laser sintering (SLS) or selective laser melting (SLM), although 52% of articles did not name the 3D printer used and 36% did not name any software used to design or optimize products. 3D scanning technology was also utilized in 11 articles (42%). Results indicate that AM has been slow to permeate sports research, and while considered across a variety of potential applications, has largely resulted in singular studies with potentially limited opportunities or funding for follow-up investigations.

“…Selective laser sintering (SLS) method is one of widely used rapid prototype technology [ 61 ]. It is able to quickly manufacture customized implants with complicated internal structure based on computer-aided design (CAD) data [ 62 ]. The scaffold is fabricated via layer-by-layer process without a mold.…”

Bioactive ceramics have received great attention in the past decades owing to their success in stimulating cell proliferation, differentiation and bone tissue regeneration. They can react and form chemical bonds with cells and tissues in human body. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the application of bioactive ceramics for bone repair and regeneration. The review systematically summarizes the types and characters of bioactive ceramics, the fabrication methods for nanostructure and hierarchically porous structure, typical toughness methods for ceramic scaffold and corresponding mechanisms such as fiber toughness, whisker toughness and particle toughness. Moreover, greater insights into the mechanisms of interaction between ceramics and cells are provided, as well as the development of ceramic-based composite materials. The development and challenges of bioactive ceramics are also discussed from the perspective of bone repair and regeneration.

“…of the competition are determined by extremely slight differences in records, overcoming of external factors via the development of sports science can also shorten the record (Brownlie, Kyle, Harber, MacDonald, & Shorten, 2004;McCann, 2005;Mohr, Enders, Nigg, & Nigg, 2015;Oggiano et al, 2013;Smith, Lake, Sterzing, & Milani, 2016;Toon, Vinet, Pain, & Caine, 2011;Vinet & Caine, 2010;. Therefore, various tools and types of equipment are used to overcome external factors; footwear, which can affect the record depending on the type, is a representative example of sports science development to overcome external factors.…”
