“…Although a lot of review papers have been written in recent times describing the use of 3D printing technology for sensing purposes [48,87,88], none of them has specifically talked about the development of 3D printed sensors for biomedical applications. This review paper highlights some of the significant works done on the fabrication of 3D printed sensors for biomedical applications.…”

This paper showcases a substantial review on some of the significant work done on 3D printing of sensors for biomedical applications. The importance of 3D printing techniques has bloomed in the sensing world due to their essential advantages of quick fabrication, easy accessibility, processing of varied materials and sustainability. Along with the introduction of the necessity and influence of 3D printing techniques for the fabrication of sensors for different healthcare applications, the paper explains the individual methodologies used to develop sensing prototypes. Six different 3D printing techniques have been explained in the manuscript, followed by drawing a comparison between them in terms of their advantages, disadvantages, materials being processed, resolution, repeatability, accuracy and applications. Finally, a conclusion of the paper is provided with some of the challenges of the current 3D printing techniques about the developed sensing prototypes, their corresponding remedial solutions and a market survey determining the expenditure on 3D printing for biomedical sensing prototypes.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is an innovation in today's medical field. It helps create a patient-specific 3D model of bones, nerves, organs and blood vessel. Now, doctors and surgeons have successfully applied this technology to plan different types of treatments and also cancers. The purpose of this paper is to study the requirements and applications of AM for cancer treatment. Methods: Today AM is used for the application of regenerative medicine. It can help develop and improve invitro models in the tumour microenvironment. Thus, to identify its applications, related research papers on AM for cancer are studied. Results: 3D printing technology has a unique capability to manufacture tumour models. It helps to understand the status of the whole tumor. Here in this paper, we studied the capabilities of AM technologies for cancer treatment. This study discusses necessary process steps, followed by 3D printing and finally identified significant applications of these technologies for cancer treatment with a brief description. Conclusion: 3D printed tumor helps to provide faithful studies on metastasis. These models create a promising platform to construct biomimetic models. By accurate manufacturing of in vitro model, this technology seems to be the best tool to facilitate complex treatment, surgery and therapies. It shows great potential for the printing of organs. This technology is time-saving and avoids time-consuming processes. It has been analysed that AM helps in reducing the duration of treatment of a cancer patient. Researchers are focusing on reducing pain during therapies. They have also tested 3D printed tumor models for different drugs, to eliminate the risks. These models play a significant role in courses of treatments.

Two‐Photon Polymerization of Nanocomposites for the Fabrication of Transparent Fused Silica Glass Microstructures

et al. 2021

Fused silica glass is the material of choice for many high‐performance components in optics due to its high optical transparency combined with its high thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability. Especially, the generation of fused silica microstructures is of high interest for microoptical and biomedical applications. Direct laser writing (DLW) is a suitable technique for generating such devices, as it enables nearly arbitrary structuring down to the sub‐micrometer level. In this work, true 3D structuring of transparent fused silica glass using DLW with tens of micrometer resolution and a surface roughness of Ra ≈ 6 nm is demonstrated. The process uses a two‐photon curable silica nanocomposite resin that can be structured by DLW, with the printout being convertible to transparent fused silica glass via thermal debinding and sintering. This technology will enable a plethora of applications from next‐generation optics and photonics to microfluidic and biomedical applications with resolutions on the scale of tens of micrometers.
