Exploring the significant applications of Internet of Things (IoT) with 3D printing using advanced materials in medical field

Abstract This article explores how 3D printing and the Internet of Things (IoT) can provide a solution to the medical industry’s various challenges and what materials can be used for different medical industry requirements. Cranial and maxillofacial constructs require a material with high strength whereas tissue generation does not require hard materials, so the material choice is important for maximum success. IoT can compensate for some of the limitations of 3D printing. The two mentioned technologies' applications are studies from IEEE, ScienceDirect, ResearchGate and PubMed databases. Medical 4.0 is to be implemented where 3D printing and IoT form its core. This paper presents ideas related to the technologies mentioned above to provide solutions to some significant challenges currently being faced by the medical field. However, the ideas presented are entirely theoretical and have not been verified practically and there is a need for more research on the topics. These two technologies together can provide a faster and reliable solution to urgent medical situations.
