Additive manufacturing (AM) is a disruptive technology as it pushes the frontier of manufacturing towards a new design perspective, such as the ability to shape geometries that cannot be formed with any other traditional technique. AM has today shown successful applications in several fields such as the biomedical sector in which it provides a relatively fast and effective way to solve even complex medical cases. From this point of view, the purpose of this paper is to illustrate AM technologies currently used in the medical field and their benefits along with contemporary. The review highlights differences in processes, materials, and design of additive manufacturing techniques used in biomedical applications. Successful case studies are presented to emphasise the potentiality of AM processes. The presented review supports improvements in materials and design for future researches in biomedical surgeries using instruments and implants made by AM.
增材制造（AM）是一项颠覆性技术，因为它将制造的前沿推向了一个新的设计视角，例如能够塑造任何其他传统技术都无法形成的几何形状。AM 今天已经在几个领域展示了成功的应用，例如生物医学领域，它为解决即使是复杂的医疗案例提供了相对快速有效的方法。从这个角度来看，本文的目的是说明目前在医疗领域使用的 AM 技术及其优势以及当代的优势。综述强调了生物医学应用中使用的增材制造技术在工艺、材料和设计方面的差异。成功的案例研究被提出，以强调 AM 工艺的潜力。所提出的综述支持改进材料和设计，以用于使用 AM 制造的仪器和植入物进行生物医学手术的未来研究。
