14 Additive manufacturing and 4D printing applications for Industry 4.0-enabled digital biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors

Abstract
For the Industry 4.0-enabled digital biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors, additive manufacturing (AM) and four-dimensional (4D) printing have emerged as viable technologies. Layer-by-layer printing of 3D structures is what is known as AM, whereas 4D printing goes one step further by enabling the printed structures to change shape or functionality over time in response to outside stimuli. In the biomedical sector, AM and 4D printing offer the potential to revolutionize medical devices, prosthetics, and implants. In the pharmaceutical sector, AM and 4D printing offer the potential to revolutionize drug delivery systems. In this chapter, we study enabling technologies of drugdelivery systems that can release drugs at specific times and locations in response to physiological cues. This can improve drug efficacy and reduce side effects. However, the implementation of AM and 4D printing in the biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors also presents challenges related to regulatory approval, scalability, and safety. We also discuss AM and 4D printing in this chapter, which have enormous potential for the digital biomedical and pharmaceutical industries. These technologies have the potential to alter the way healthcare is delivered while also improving patient outcomes, lowering healthcare costs, and overcoming implementation-related obstacles.
