The additive manufacturing (AM) technology is seen as a flexible manufacturing method with potential for substantial innovations to produce medical devices and instrumentation, orthoses prostheses, medical models, inert implants, and biomanufacturing. In tandem, the recent advances in biomaterials are catalyzing the clinical implications of AM-made healthcare products. Till date, more than 0.1 million technical reports have been documented in the scientific volume of the literature, and this article aims to provide a comprehensive as well as in-depth view of recent progress made in AM technologies suited for the futuristic healthcare solutions. More specifically, a critical view of three-dimensional printing, three-dimensional bioprinting, and four-dimensional printing has been presented. Our insight suggests that more advances in biomaterials are needed for the success and growth of AM technology in the …
