It can be used to manufacture complex parts and enables manufacturers to reduce their inventory, make products on-demand, create smaller and localized manufacturing environments, and even reduce supply chains. Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as fabricating three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) components, refers to processes that allow for the direct fabrication of physical products from computer-aided design (CAD) models through the repetitious deposition of material layers. Compared with traditional manufacturing processes, AM allows the production of customized parts from bio- and synthetic polymers without the need for molds or machining typical for conventional formative and subtractive fabrication.In this Special Issue, we aimed to capture the cutting-edge state-of-the-art research pertaining to advancing the additive manufacturing of polymeric materials. The topic themes include advanced polymeric material development, processing parameter optimization, characterization techniques, structure-property relationships, process modelling, etc., specifically for AM.History of engineering & technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicssc3D printingABSadditive technologiesantibacterialanticancer activityantimicrobialantimicrobial propertiesbio-based polyethylene compositebio-based polymerbiocompositebiodegradable polymersbiopolymerblendbuilding orientationcarbon fibresCNTcompositecomposite materialdesign processdrug deliverydust clouddust explosionepoxidized jatropha oilextrusionfatiguefibre treatmentflexible TPUfood packagingFused Deposition Modelling (FDM)fused filament fabricationfused-filament fabricationhigh-density polyethyleneinternal architecturejatropha oilkenafkenaf fibrelattice materiallayer thicknessmechanical propertiesmechanical strengthminimum ignition temperature of dispersed dustMWCNTnaked mole-rat algorithmnatural bioactive polymersnatural fiber compositenatural fibresnon-covalent functionalisationnozzle sizeoptimizationP3HTpitchpolyamide 12polyethylenepolylactic acid (PLA)polymeric scaffoldspolythiopheneprocess parametersproduct designreaction timeshape memory polymersilver nanopowdersustainability designthermal propertiesthermo-mechanical loadsthermoplastic starchtissue engineeringX-ray tomographyHistory of engineering & technologyTechnology: general issuesBayraktar Eminedt1326296Sapuan S.
