“…35 A facile example of ceramic-based 3D printing is depicted in Figure 1. 36 Reportedly, 3D printing coupled SiC chemical vapor infiltration was used by Mei et al 37 to fabricate structurally controlled 3D porous high-strength ceramics proposed for advanced functional applications, which may also include biomaterials. In another report, paste-based extrusion 3D printing was utilized for printing zirconate titanate ceramics to fabricate piezoelectric materials.…”

Porous structures with sizes between the submicrometer and nanometer scales can be produced using efficient and adaptable electrospinning technology. However, to approximate desirable structures, the construction lacks mechanical sophistication and conformance and requires three-dimensional solitary or multifunctional structures. The diversity of high-performance polymers and blends has enabled the creation of several porous structural conformations for applications in advanced materials science, particularly in biomedicine. Two promising technologies can be combined, such as electrospinning with 3D printing or additive manufacturing, thereby providing a straightforward yet flexible technique for digitally controlled shape-morphing fabrication. The hierarchical integration of configurations is used to imprint complex shapes and patterns onto mesostructured, stimulus-responsive electrospun fabrics. This technique controls the internal stresses caused by the swelling/contraction mismatch in the in-plane and interlayer regions, which, in turn, controls the morphological characteristics of the electrospun membranes. Major innovations in 3D printing, along with additive manufacturing, have led to the production of materials and scaffold systems for tactile and wearable sensors, filtration structures, sensors for structural health monitoring, tissue engineering, biomedical scaffolds, and optical patterning. This review discusses the synergy between 3D printing and electrospinning as a constituent of specific microfabrication methods for quick structural prototypes that are expected to advance into next-generation constructs. Furthermore, individual techniques, their process parameters, and how the fabricated novel structures are applied holistically in the biomedical field have never been discussed in the literature. In summary, this review offers novel insights into the use of electrospinning and 3D printing as well as their integration for cutting-edge applications in the biomedical field.

“…The recent development in ceramic 3D printing techniques enables the fabrication of ceramic parts with high geometrical flexibility. 1,2 The currently available ceramic 3D printing techniques that avoid using selected laser melting can be classified into three categoriesstereolithography, [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] binder jetting, [12][13][14][15][16] and direct ink writing. [17][18][19][20] Stereolithography (SLA) is a mature technique of polymer 3D printing.…”

“…9 Using this technique, ceramic powders are usually mixed with ultraviolet (UV) curable resin. The powder can be a single phase (e.g., Al 2 O 3 ), 4,8 or mixtures of different powders (e.g., Al 2 O 3 + ZrO 2 ). 7 The resin is generally composed of an acrylate, epoxide resin, 1.3-propylene oxide, [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] deionized water, a dispersant, and a photoinitiator.…”

“…Unfortunately, there is only limited work in the literature investigating commercially available 3D printed ceramics. 4,30 In this work, we printed honeycomb structures using the commercial Formlabs Ceramic Resin in a Formlabs Form2 printer (250 mW, 405 nm). We then studied the effect of sintering conditions on their dimensional stability, shrinkage, densification, microstructure, and mechanical properties.…”

Stereolithography has been used to create ceramic parts with complex geometry that is difficult to achieve with conventional fabrication techniques. This study used stereolithography to print silica honeycomb structures with a commercial Formlabs Form2 printer. The printed samples were sintered at different temperatures, and the print shape was retained up to 1300°C, but significant distortion from partial melting occurred at 1400°C. Higher sintering temperatures lead to more shrinkage, but it is non‐uniform among directions, with the open cell plane shrinking more than the dense plane of the sample. As expected, the density of samples also increases with the sintering temperature. At higher sintering temperatures, there is an increase in cristobalite and a decrease in quartz, tridymite, and amorphous silica. Regarding mechanical properties, the out‐of‐plane compressive strength is approximately one order of magnitude higher than the in‐plane compressive strength. When compressed along the out‐of‐plane direction, the samples sintered at lower temperatures surprisingly exhibit higher strength, which is explained by the micro‐cracking mechanism. As expected, the samples sintered at higher temperatures display higher strength when compressed along the in‐plane direction.
