An overview of the evolution of additive manufacturing in sensor and biomaterial production

With the developing technology, additive manufacturing technique has become one of the manufacturing areas whose importance is increasing day by day in different fields. Additive manufacturing is a method based on the principle of producing/laying the object to be produced layer by layer. The additive manufacturing method is widely used in different industries such as aviation, automotive and biomedical due to its advantageous features such as easy production of complex shaped parts, cost and production speed. Due to these advantages, it has started to replace subtractive manufacturing methods in the near future. The production of wearable technology and biomaterials, which are among the additive manufacturing application areas, has been the focus of attention of researchers with an increasing momentum in recent years. This compilation study, which was carried out due to the successful applications of the additive manufacturing technique in these areas, is important in order to follow the current progress of the title and the course of future studies. For this purpose, it is aimed to convey the current developments in the field of wearable technology, especially on the production of sensors and biomaterials by additive manufacturing method.
