Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, has garnered significant attention across various industries for its flexibility and simplicity in fabrication. This review explores the evolution of AM technologies, encompassing rapid prototyping and 3D printing, which have revolutionized conventional manufacturing processes. The paper discusses the transition from rapid prototyping to AM and highlights its role in creating fully customized products, optimizing topologies, and fabricating complex designs, especially in the aerospace, medical, automotive, defense energy and food industries. The study delves into the fundamental principles of 3D and 4D printing technologies, detailing their processes, materials, and applications. It provides an overview of the various AM techniques, such as Vat photopolymerization, powder bed fusion, material extrusion, and directed energy deposition, shedding light on their classifications and applications. Furthermore, the paper explores the emergence of 4D printing, which introduces an additional dimension of “time” to enable dynamic changes in printed structures. The role of AM in different industries, including aerospace, medical, automotive, energy, and Industry 4.0, is thoroughly examined. The aerospace sector benefits from AM's ability to reduce production costs and lead times, while the medical field leverages bioprinting for synthetic organ fabrication and surgical equipment development. Similarly, AM enhances flexibility and customization in automotive manufacturing, energy production, and Industry 4.0 initiatives Overall, this review provides insights into the growing significance of AM technologies and their transformative impact on various industries. It underscores the potential of 3D and 4D printing to drive innovation, optimize production processes, and meet the evolving demands of modern manufacturing.

As is widely recognized, advancements in new design and rapid prototyping techniques such as CAD modeling and 3D printing are pioneering individualized medicine, facilitating the implementation of new methodologies for creating customized orthoses. The aim of this paper is to develop a new automatic technique for producing personalized orthoses in a straightforward manner, eliminating the necessity for doctors to collaborate directly with technicians. A novel design method for creating customized wrist orthoses has been implemented, notably featuring a generative algorithm for the parametric modeling of the orthosis. To assess the efficacy of the developed algorithm, a case study was conducted involving the design and rapid prototyping of a wrist orthosis using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. Subsequently, the developed algorithm was tested by clinicians and patients. The results obtained indicate that the implemented algorithm is user-friendly and could potentially enable non-expert users to design customized orthoses. These results introduce innovative elements of originality within the CAD modeling, offering promising solutions to the challenges associated with the design and production of customized orthoses. Future developments could consist of a better investigation regarding the parameters that influence the accuracy of the scanning and of the printing processes.
