A Review of 3D / 4D / 5D Printing Applications for Biomedical Supply Chain
Abstract
The objective of this study is to critically review the applications of 3D, 4D and 5D printing
technologies in the biomedical supply chain. The evolution of additive manufacturing has significant impacts on the
healthcare sector in terms of supply chain optimization, cost reduction and developing customized medical
solutions. 3D printing revolutionized the production of advanced biomedical devices, organs and tissues by making
patient-specific strategies possible. 4D printing has demonstrated significant advantages especially in producing
medical implants, prosthetics and regenerative tissue by providing dynamic structures that react to environmental
stimuli. The new 5D printing improves accuracy and complexity by virtue of its multi-axis production feature.
This research analyzes the effect of such technologies on the change they induce in biomedical product production
and supply chain. Besides, the future directions and challenges of such technologies are analyzed and how they can
reshape healthcare models are debated.
