Applications of Additive Manufacturing in Biomedical and Sports Industry

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Practical Implementations of Additive Manufacturing Technologies

Part of the book series: Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials ((MHFNN))

Abstract

The fabrication of fully functional active components via additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has progressed beyond mere prototype. With composites, metals, ceramics, concrete, and polymers, it is a flexible production technique. This article focuses on the evolution of additive products in the biomedical and sports industries. Additionally, a number of instances of additive manufacturing techniques used in the creation of unique goods are provided. The use of additive manufacturing as a collaborative tool with the idea of innovative problem-solving techniques in the creation of new items has also been given a conceptual framework.
