“…Compared with, for example, solid‐material milling, AM is more time‐ and cost‐effective and offers increased versatility with respect to design limits, manufacturing and raw materials. AM, therefore, can accelerate growth and innovation in the traditionally linear and time‐consuming manufacturing processes, [ 47,48 ] thus changing the future technological landscape. [ 44 ]…”

Advances in digital technologies have opened new opportunities for creating more reliable, time-and cost-effective, safer and mobile methods of diagnosing, managing and treating diseases. A few examples of advanced nano-and digital technologies are already FDA-approved for diagnosing and treating diseases. Plasma treatment is still emerging as a new healthcare technology, but it is showing a strong potential for treatment of many diseases including cancers and antimicrobial-resistant infections, with little or no adverse side effects. Here, we argue that with the everincreasing complex healthcare challenges facing communities, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to consider combining unique properties of emerging healthcare technologies into a single multimodal treatment modality that could lead to unprecedented healthcare benefits. In this article, we focus on the healthcare opportunities created by establishing a nexus between plasma, nano-and digital technologies. We argue that the combination of plasma, nano-and digital technologies into a single multimodal healthcare package may significantly improve patient outcomes and comfort, and reduce the economic burden on community healthcare, as well as alleviate many problems related to overcrowded healthcare systems.

Digital transformation in manufacturing is one of the key megatrends in the development of global economy and society. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a transformative digital technology poised to disrupt manufacturing and supply chains across major industries. Here we critically examine relevant insights into current and emerging applications of plasma nanotechnology in printing, including 3D printing. Plasma devices operated at atmospheric pressure coupled with printing processes may help strengthen 3D printing as an emerging fabrication technology that morphs diverse metal powders, polymers, plastics and other materials into digitally designed 3D shapes and patterns. We discuss how plasma applications may help overcome current limitations of 3D printing in various fields, e.g. limitations of sculpting composite materials, lack of mechanical strength and the need for postprocessing. Our key focus is on the challenges, opportunities and physical mechanisms of the use of 3D printing in nano-manufacturing, defined as the fabrication of nanoscale building blocks, such as nanoparticles and nanomaterials; their assembly into higher-order (micro-scale) structures; and the integration of these structures into larger (macro-) scale devices and systems by controlling energy and matter at nanoscale. Moreover, we discuss the physico-chemical mechanisms that result in highlyconformal deposition of nanostructured materials onto 3D surfaces with microscopic (and possibly nanoscale) control of textures and inter-layer cross-linking, without the need for additional heating. We further highlight the arising opportunities for plasma nanotechnology to synergize with the emerging digital transformation platforms in surface micro-and nano-structuring using polymers, metals, metallic alloys, and other materials. These new findings in plasma-digital nanoscale fabrication may lead to a new digital manufacturing platform suitable for a number of cutting-edge applications in electronic, sensing and energy devices.

“…Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a 3DP process wherein the polymeric powder particles are fused with the help of high laser power . Similar to the other types of 3DP technologies, the laser fuses the polymer powder at specific locations for each layer specified by the design . In SLS printing, the quality characteristics of the resulting print depend on the processing condition, especially the laser power and scan speed .…”

Composite or reinforced materials, especially in the class of polymers, are becoming prominent materials for the diversified range of engineering and scientific utilities because of their physical, chemical, mechanical, and structural excellences. Indeed, the main credit for the widespread acknowledgment of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) goes to the various types of natural and synthetic reinforcements, which resulted in good interfacial chemistries. However, the intrinsic challenges of traditional manufacturing technologies always presented restrictions in the development of application specific PMCs. Reportedly, with an evolution of three‐dimensional printing (3DP) technologies, the applications of PMCs have been transformed as these enabled the production of near‐net shapes with high degree of control over the design, reinforcements, and processing parametric while maintaining the waste associated at minimal level. However, the industrial benefits of 3DP technologies for still limited owing to the lack of awareness among the young professionals and industrialists. Moreover, the literature available in this regard is either too scattered making it tedious for the professionals to go through or limited to only fundamental concepts. Therefore, the concept of this review paper is to provide brief research‐based insights of different 3DP technologies (namely, fused deposition modeling, selective laser sintering, stereolithography, laminated object manufacturing, and inkjet printing), material systems, applications, and the future paradigms of research as a short and precise document.
