“…Its exceptional exibility and durability make it an ideal material for soft products like cushioning materials, protective caps, sleeves, and more. Additionally, its excellent elasticity and resistance to wear also make it suitable for lightweight components [20]. Particularly, leveraging the advantages of its exibility, when pneumatic pressure is applied to the interior of the soft gripper, it causes expansion in the wrinkled area, leading to bending actions [21,22].…”

“…Cardiac passive and static simulators were developed for the medical training of specific procedures, such as transseptal puncturing [5], US-guided pericardiocentesis [46] and epicardial hydrogel-sheet placement [47]. Studies on the employed materials for the heart phantom manufacture were conducted to increase the realism of its appearance under US [48] and to mimic both the mechanical [49] and electric properties [50] of the heart tissue.…”

Soft robotics for physical simulators, artificial organs and implantable assistive devices

In recent years, soft robotics technologies enabled the development of a new generation of biomedical devices. The combination of elastomeric materials with tunable properties and muscle-like motions paved the way toward more realistic phantoms and innovative soft active implants as artificial organs or assistive mechanisms. This review collects the most relevant studies in the field, giving some insights about their distribution in the past ten years, and their level of development, and opening a discussion about the most commonly employed materials and actuating technologies. The reported results show some promising trends, highlighting that the soft robotics approach can help replicate specific material characteristics, in the case of static or passive organs, but also reproduce peculiar natural motion patterns for the realization of dynamic phantoms or implants. At the same time, some important challenges still need to be addressed. However, by joining forces with other research fields and disciplines, it will be possible to get one step closer to the development of complex, active, self-sensing and deformable structures able to replicate as closely as possible the typical properties and functionalities of our natural body organs.

“…Currently, more users can adapt 3D printing technology to develop and innovate their own products due to the price reduction and competition among 3D printer manufacturers. Some of these products have been used for food [5,6], sports [7], product development [8][9][10], as well as for life enhancement purposes [11][12][13][14][15].…”

In this research, the use of three-dimensional (3D) printing among Malaysian users was studied. The aim of the research is to establish the demographics and use of 3D printing in Malaysia. A questionnaire was distributed among 3D printing users during a 3D printing webinar and via social media groups consisting of 3D printer users. For the demographic section, 74 males and 8 females responded to the questionnaire, with more than 90% of the respondents have tertiary education. 39% of the respondents are from Greater Klang Valley, and 33% of the respondents are self-employed. The highest application of 3D printing is for hobby (i.e., 67% of the respondents), while the highest response for experience in 3D printing is 28% with 1–3 years of experience. Creality 3D printer brand is the most selected printer brand, with 64.7% of the respondents using the brand. 33% of the respondents used the printer at a heavy usage rate of 5 days per week, which is the highest response. For the material used, 85.4% of the respondents agreed that they normally used polylactic acid, while 79.3% of the respondents selected Cura as the most used software. Furthermore, 79.3% of the respondents stated that the infill percentage setting as the most changed setting, while 63.4% of the respondents agreed that bed levelling is the most common problem in 3D printing. In the opinion section, most of the respondents believed that 3D printing technology is still new and should be taught in schools. Based on the results, the research has successfully established the demographics and usage among 3D printer users in Malaysia.
