ABSTRACT
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is not new in the manufacturing domain; earlier it was popular as rapid prototyping and 3D printing. The development of new materials, advanced tools and more user-friendly design software has increased the application domain of AM. In the twenty-first century, scientists and researchers’ focus is shifted toward the development of biodegradable materials rather than the utilisation of traditional materials such as steel, polymer, etc., for medical applications. It can be achieved either by altering the properties of the traditional materials by alloying them or developing a unique multi-material mixture for surface treatment by the various coating techniques. The 3D printing of ceramics generally required clay-based formulation as ceramics undergoes plastic deformation when mixed with an organic or aqueous medium. Also, sometimes curable monomers resin is added with ceramics to provide sufficient green strength to the manufactured part.
