Abstract

This paper aims to broadly analysis 928 documents available in the Scopus record related to additive manufacturing in biomedical (AMiBM) applications. The primary objective is to gain insights into this subject area’s historical growth, current status, and potential future trends. The data collection spanned from 2002 to 2020, and a systematic approach was employed to identify relevant AMiBM documents across various disciplines within the Scopus database. After a rigorous screening and assessment, 928 papers from 2002 to 2020 were deemed suitable for scrutiny and analysis. This review provides an overview of these AMiBM documents, encompassing their types, publication details, citation counts, and predictions for future developments. To visually represent the research landscape, the study utilized tools such as VOSviewer 1.16.6 and Biblioshiny 2.0 to present the status of AMiBM publications. In addition to cataloguing the existing literature, the study seeks to pinpoint the current hotspots and emerging trends within the field of AMiBM. This is accomplished through a thorough analysis of author-keywords, index-keywords, and the textual content of the documents. Overall, this assessment and bibliometric analysis of AMiBM provide a comprehensive and panoramic view of this research domain. The intention is to equip scholars and researchers with a broad understanding of the key areas of interest and ongoing developments within AMiBM. This knowledge will prove valuable to newcomers in the field, enabling them to quickly grasp the current state and trajectory of research in this dynamic and evolving area.
