“…On the other hand, examples of internal use are coronary bypass implant with very small internal channels and hard tissue lumbar implants. Regarding the biodegradable polymers, it has an effective role in the construction of human organs and real tissue engineering [7,11]. Also, polymeric materials have an application in artistic and jewelry designs as it serves for modeling based on vacuum investment casting and jewels themselves [11].…”

“…AM has the ability to manufacture free-form cooling channels with inclined complex shape rather than cooling channels which obtained by drilling in conventional mould fabrication (normally straight). Implementation of AM technology offers a completely homogeneous heat transfer, adaptive cooling [11]. In general, laser or electron beam-based are used in metallic applications, especially in fabricating hybrid moulds as it is easy to create mould inserts over the prefabricated mould and it leads to saving time and costs, furthermore process characteristics are improved [11,13].…”

“…Furthermore, using Computerized Tomography (CT) leads to speed up the overall biomedical product development rather than using conventional processes as it became easy for scanning, converting to a model, exporting to STL file, slicing, and fabrication. One other advantage is reducing of surgical intervention time [10,11]. An example of CT-scan in the biomedical sector is shown in Figure 2.…”

-As a first step of applying additive manufacturing (AM) technology, plastic prototypes have been produced using various AM Process such as Fusion Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA) and other processes. After more research and development, AM has become capable of producing complex net shaped in materials which can be used in applicable parts. These materials include metals, ceramics, and composites. Polymers and metals are considered as commercially available materials for AM processes; however, ceramics and composites are still considered under research and development. In this study, a literature review on design for AM of composite materials and potential alloys is discussed. It is investigated that polymer matrix, ceramic matrix, metal matrix, and fiber reinforced are most common composites through AM. Furthermore, Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) is considered as an effective application of AM because AM offers the ability to control the composition and optimize the properties of the built part. An example of FGM through using AM technology is the missile nose cone which includes an ultra-high temperature ceramic graded to a refractory metal from outside to inside and it used for sustaining extreme external temperatures. During this work, different applications of AM on different classifications of composite materials are shown through studying of industrial objective, the importance of application, processing, results and future challenges.
