Article Abstract

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have drawn substantial attention on account of their outstanding properties. Additive manufacturing (AM), which has emerged as a successful approach for fabricating metallic materials, allows for the production of complex components based on three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) models. This paper reviews the advancements in the AM of HEAs, encompassing a variety of AM techniques, including selective laser melting (SLM), selective laser sintering (SLS), selective electron beam melting (SEBM), directed energy deposition (DED), binder jetting (BJT), direct ink writing (DIW), and additive friction stir deposition (AFSD). Additionally, the study discusses the powders and wires utilized in AM, the post-processing of AM-processed HEAs, as well as the mechanical and corrosion properties of these alloys. The unique ultra-fine and non-equilibrium microstructures achieved through AM result in superior mechanical properties of HEAs, like improved strength and ductility. However, research regarding certain aspects of HEA AM, such as fatigue properties and creep deformation behavior, is still relatively scarce. Future research should focus on overcoming the existing limitations and exploring the potential of HEAs in various applications.

Background: Bridge preparation skills are a vital component of dental education and require specific techniques. This study aimed to develop and evaluate 3D printed teeth for use in defect-oriented bridge preparation and pre-prosthetic exercises in dental training, addressing the limited customization and lack of integrated workflows found in commercial typodont teeth. The null hypothesis stated that 3D printed teeth offered no advantage over established typodont training methods for bridge preparation.

Catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most frequent healthcare associated infection, arising from microbial adhesion to catheter surfaces, biofilm development, and the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. Many publications have addressed CAUTI epidemiology, biofilm biology, or biomaterials for catheters in isolation, yet there is little literature that connects these areas into a coherent translational perspective. This review seeks to fill that gap by combining an overview of biofilm pathophysiology with recent advances in material based innovations for catheter design, including nanostructured and responsive coatings, sensor enabled systems, additive manufacturing, and three dimensional printing.

The screw-retained implant-supported crown is a durable, aesthetic restoration, but debonding between the crown and abutment remains a challenge to survivability. The purpose of this work was to devise an abutment shape that can be embedded into the crown while the crown is being additively manufactured. The result was a mechanically retained, no-adhesive abutment and crown unit that is mounted to the implant fixture.

The rapid advancement of three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies has significantly expanded their potential applications such as sensors and detector technology. In this study, the gamma-ray shielding performance of ulexite-doped composite resins fabricated via Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printing was experimentally investigated to evaluate radiation attenuation capacity. Composite resins containing different ulexite loadings (0, 1, 3, and 5 wt%) were exposed to gamma rays at energies of 356, 662, 1173, and 1333 keV to evaluate their attenuation characteristics.

3D printing, as a versatile additive manufacturing technique, offers high design flexibility, rapid prototyping, minimal material waste, and the capability to fabricate complex, customized geometries. These attributes make it particularly well-suited for low-temperature hydrogen electrochemical conversion devices-specifically, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, proton exchange membrane electrolyzer cells, anion exchange membrane electrolyzer cells, and alkaline electrolyzers-which demand finely structured components such as catalyst layers, gas diffusion layers, electrodes, porous transport layers, and bipolar plates. This review provides a focused and critical summary of the current progress in applying 3D printing technologies to these key components.
