Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have significantly impacted the daily lives, finding broad applications in various industries such as consumer electronics, electric vehicles, medical devices, aerospace, and power tools. However, they still face issues (i.e., safety due to dendrite propagation, manufacturing cost, random porosities, and basic & planar geometries) that hinder their widespread applications as the demand for LIBs rapidly increases in all sectors due to their high energy and power density values compared to other batteries. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a promising technique for creating precise and programmable structures in energy storage devices. This review first summarizes light, filament, powder, and jetting‐based 3D printing methods with the status on current trends and limitations for each AM technology. The paper also delves into 3D printing‐enabled electrodes (both anodes and cathodes) and solid‐state electrolytes for LIBs, emphasizing the current state‐of‐the‐art materials, manufacturing methods, and properties/performance. Additionally, the current challenges in the AM for electrochemical energy storage (EES) applications, including limited materials, low processing precision, codesign/comanufacturing concepts for complete battery printing, machine learning (ML)/artificial intelligence (AI) for processing optimization and data analysis, environmental risks, and the potential of 4D printing in advanced battery applications, are also presented.

“…It is estimated that the current AM size is valued at $17 billion, and it is projected to reach $44 billion by 2027, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27% ( The Worldwide Additive Manufacturing Industry is Expected to Reach $44 Billion by, 2027 ). Due to the rapid progress of digital technology, e.g., artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), the AM is expected to play a pivotal role in the production of countless customized products ( Andreadis, 2022 , Hunde and Woldeyohannes, 2022 ). There are seven AM technologies recognized by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), including binder jetting, vat photopolymerization, material jetting, material extrusion, powder bed fusion, sheet lamination, and directed energy deposition ( Pérez, 2020 ).…”

“…The global trend of research and development in 3D printing has grown slowly partially due to the right protection of several earlier versions of the 3D printers. However, there was recent interest from various countries in the advancement of 3D printing technology, reflected by the high number of publications, from 59 to 1573, in 2012 and 2017, respectively ( Hunde and Woldeyohannes, 2022 , Jamróz, 2018 ). This translated to several marketed products in countries, such as the United States and China, which had the initiative to invest heavily in the early development of 3D printing and its applications.…”

“…Due to the increasing demands for the development and innovation of new products in the markets, all industrial enterprises must deal with the issue of technical preparation of production. The pre-production phase is an important phase of the product life cycle, as it influences the costs of the other life stages of the product [1,2]. Up to 80% of production costs can be most influenced in the pre-production stages.…”

This article deals with the rationalization of manufacturing processes within the product life cycle with emphasis on the pre-production phase of production. A new methodology for evaluating the applicability of modern visualization tools in manufacturing processes is presented. This methodology includes a modified Z-score for categorizing manufacturing processes and has been validated by the successful implementation of 10 real projects. Ultimately, the methodology provides a practical decision-making aid for manufacturing companies in deploying such Computer Aided Instruction tools. For the pre-production phase of products and their development, the possibilities of using modern visualization tools to support CAD instructions and assembly instructions are being explored. These modern visualization tools are video tutorials, augmented reality tutorials and virtual reality tutorials. This paper explores the use of these tools for rationalization of pre-production processes. A methodology was designed to select the most appropriate tool for rationalizing process execution in preparation for production. The functionality of the methodology was verified by applying the methodology in industrial practice and subsequent implementation of the recommended solutions. The methodology was validated by testing key combinations that can arise based on the methodology directly in the operations of manufacturing companies. A total of 10 implementations in real production processes were tailored to this study and carried out over 2 years and the functionality of the methodology was confirmed (that consisted also of a new software development). It was found that there is a dependency between the visualization tools chosen to create the instructions in the context of organizational production preparation and the nature of the production processes.
