“…This process is repeated until a 3D object has been completely manufactured. [ 280 ] MJT is a crucially viable manufacturing process for a wide variety of industrial and scientific applications because of its cost‐effectiveness, high throughput, and scalability of production, as well as its capacity to enhance capability via multi‐material printing. [ 281 ] MJT is usually known as 3D inkjet printing (IJP) due to the fact that it uses ink‐jetting technology to create 3D objects.…”

Nature frequently serves as an inspiration for modern robotics innovations that emphasize secure human–machine interaction. However, the advantages of increased automation and digital technology integration conflict with the global environmental objectives. Accordingly, biodegradable soft robots have been proposed for a range of intelligent applications. Biodegradability provides soft robotics with an extraordinary functional advantage for operations involving intelligent shape transformation in response to external stimuli such as heat, pH, and light. Soft robot fabrication using conventional manufacturing techniques is inflexible, time‐consuming, and labor‐intensive. Recent advances in 3D and 4D printing of soft materials and multi‐materials have become the key to enabling the direct manufacture of soft robotics with complex designs and functions. This review comprises a detailed survey of 3D and 4D printing advances in biodegradable soft sensors and actuators (BSSA), which serve as the most prominent parts of each robotic system. In addition, a concise overview of biodegradable materials for the fabrication of 3D‐printed flexible devices with medical along with industrial applications is provided. A complete summary of current additive manufacturing techniques for BSSA is discussed in depth. Moreover, the concept of biodegradable 4D‐printed soft actuators and sensors and biohybrid soft robots is reviewed.

PurposeThis study provides an up-to-date review of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies and guidance for selecting the most appropriate ones for specific applications, taking into account the main features, strengths, and limitations of the existing options.Design/methodology/approachA literature review on AM technologies was conducted to assess the current state-of-the-art. This was followed by a closer examination of different AM machines to gain a deeper insight into their main features and operational characteristics. The conclusions and data gathered were used to formulate a classification and decision-support framework.FindingsThe findings indicate the building blocks of the selection process for AM technologies. Furthermore, this work shows the suitability of the existing AM technologies for specific cases and points to opportunities for technological and decision-support improvements. Lastly, more standardization in AM would be beneficial for future research.Practical implicationsThe proposed framework offers valuable support for decision-makers to select the most suitable AM technologies, as demonstrated through practical examples of its utilization. In addition, it can help researchers identify the limitations of AM by pinpointing applications where existing technologies fail to meet the requirements.Originality/valueThe study offers a novel classification and decision-support framework for selecting AM technologies, incorporating machine characteristics, process features, physical properties of printed parts, and costs as key features to evaluate the potential of AM. Additionally, it provides a deeper understanding of these features as well as the potential opportunities for AM and its impact on various industries.

“…Spray deposition and inkjet printing of various nanostructures are emerging complementary fabrication methods of additive manufacturing for creating functional coatings [1,2]. Digital inkjet printing allows precise jetting of uniform droplets onto different substrates such as flexible plastic sheets, glass, silicon, etc [3,4].…”

“…Compared to well-established vacuum metal coating and lithography-based metallization processes [1,5], where metals are deposited from bulk metal targets using complicated manufacturing equipment (magnetrons, e-beam and thermal evaporators), spray deposition and printing benefit from significantly simpler equipment but are more demanding in choosing the materials and often involve post processing like sintering or annealing to improve electrical conductivity and performance of the coating [6][7][8][9].…”
