(1) Background: Additive manufacturing (AM), which has also become known as 3D printing, is rapidly expanding its areas of use in the marine industry. This study undertakes a historical development of AM in the marine industry. The study also criticises these developments to date and the future technological applications they will lead to, while considering the benefits for the industry and its segments. (2) Methods: This review followed the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and was registered in the Open Science Framework. The personalized search strategy was applied to Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The core emphasis was placed on two eligibility criteria throughout the evaluation process. Firstly, Criteria 1 sought to determine the paper's relevance to AM. Secondly, Criteria 2 aimed to assess whether the paper delves into the implementation of AM or provides valuable insights into its utilisation within the marine industry. The risk of bias was analysed using a checklist of important parameters to be considered. (3) Results: In recent years, there has been a growing trend in studies related to the application of AM in the marine industry. While AM is widespread in industries such as automotive, aviation, and healthcare, it is relatively new for the marine industry. Almost only 5% of publications related to AM are related to the marine industry. There is a need for extensive research in many areas. It has been observed that classification societies and approval institutions, which largely drive the marine industry, have not yet taken AM into consideration sufficiently. (4) Conclusions: The studies show that AM is very promising for the marine industry. However, there are new studies at the experimental and theoretical level that need to be carried out to determine the right materials and AM methods to establish the quality control methodology and the necessary classification rules. This review also emphazises AM's pivotal role in reshaping the marine industry, addressing the potential environmental and occupational safety effects of AM.
(1) 背景：增材制造（AM），也就是大家熟知的3D打印，正在迅速拓展其在海洋产业中的应用领域。本研究对增材制造在海洋产业中的历史发展进行了梳理。该研究还对迄今为止的这些发展以及它们将带来的未来技术应用进行了批判，同时考虑了对该产业及其细分领域的益处。(2) 方法：本综述遵循系统评价与Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南，并在开放科学框架中进行了注册。个性化搜索策略应用于Scopus和Web of Science数据库。在整个评估过程中，核心重点放在两个入选标准上。首先，标准1旨在确定论文与增材制造的相关性。其次，标准2旨在评估论文是否深入探讨了增材制造的实施情况，或者是否对其在海洋产业中的应用提供了有价值的见解。使用一份需考虑的重要参数清单分析了偏倚风险。(3) 结果：近年来，与增材制造在海洋产业中的应用相关的研究呈增长趋势。虽然增材制造在汽车、航空和医疗保健等行业广泛应用，但对海洋产业来说相对较新。与增材制造相关的出版物中几乎只有5%与海洋产业有关。在许多领域都需要进行广泛的研究。据观察，在很大程度上推动海洋产业发展的船级社和认证机构尚未充分考虑增材制造。(4) 结论：研究表明，增材制造对海洋产业非常有前景。然而，需要在实验和理论层面开展新的研究，以确定合适的材料和增材制造方法，建立质量控制方法和必要的分类规则。本综述还强调了增材制造在重塑海洋产业方面的关键作用，探讨了增材制造潜在的环境和职业安全影响。
