Overview

Digital fabrication refers to manufacturing processes controlled by computer-aided design software and digital tools to create physical objects directly from digital models. Research published in 3D Printing and Applications examines multiple dimensions of this field, including the fundamental techniques of additive manufacturing as an emerging fabrication method, the deposition and characterization of thin films used in digital production processes, and the development of three-dimensional printed scaffolds for biomedical applications using biocompatible materials. These investigations address both the technical foundations of digitally controlled manufacturing and its practical implementation in specialized domains such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The topic matters because digital fabrication technologies enable precise, customizable production that was previously difficult or impossible with conventional manufacturing methods. By translating digital designs into physical structures layer by layer or through controlled deposition, these processes support rapid prototyping, personalized medical devices, and complex geometries that traditional subtractive manufacturing cannot efficiently produce. Understanding the capabilities, material properties, and characterization methods associated with digital fabrication is essential for advancing both industrial applications and biomedical innovations.
