Review, Analysis, and Classification of 3D Printing Literature: Types of Research and Technology Benefits

Abstract

This paper presents a review, analysis and classification about 3D printing. Through the CAPES Sucupira platform, 124 articles with a high degree of relevance published between the years 2014 and 2018 were selected. Each of these articles was classified by means of 9 categories: study types, affiliation, approach, origin of the study, geographic scope, unit of analysis, scope, benefits and negative points. Through the results obtained, it was verified that the number of articles on 3D printing is increasing every year, which indicates its i mportance and popularity. Most of the time, scientific research is conducted and led by people connected to universities in Europe, Asia and the Americas. And finally, the number of citations related to the benefits of 3D printing are greater than the number of citations on the negative points of the process.

Covid-19 attacks the body of purchasing and supply management: A medical check of the immune system

“… Pellegrino et al (2019) Reaction mode of switching suppliers or substitution of commodities in case of price volatility (= typical PSM situation). Macrophage Identification, alerting, coordination Risk perception, risk evaluation, and information Pereira et al (2019) Perception of risks and situation impacts how outcomes are achieved. (Risk perception is highly relevant.)…”

“…These cells identify the risks and alert the adaptive immune response. We matched four contributions that analyzed the perception or assessment of risk ( Pereira et al, 2019 ; Chen, 2016 ; Padhi et al, 2012 ) and related information ( Li et al, 2017 ). These sources examined the influence of risk perception on outcome.…”

3D printing technology for textiles and fashion

“…[3,43] 3DP process incorporates eight key stages, as presented in the figure 9 [76]. Required time and human involvement vary depending on factors such as size, height and complexity of the products, use of printing materials and type of 3DP machines [77][78][79].…”

Wearable properties of polylactic acid and thermoplastic polyurethane filaments 3D printed on polyester fabric

“…[6][7][8] The development of 3D printing techniques can be generally categorized based on the printing process, such as stereolithography (SLA), fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), electronic beam melting (EBM), PolyJet, etc. [9][10][11] Among the numerous 3D printing techniques, FDM is one of the most popular technologies due to its affordability and efficiency. 12 In the fashion and textile industry, designers and manufacturers are now showing an increasing trend of adopting FDM to combine 3D printed objects with textile materials.…”
