Innovations in additive manufacturing (AM) methods represent a significant advancement technology, opening new avenues for creating objects various shapes and sizes. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is specialized AM technique which computers build layers upon each other to form complete 3D object. The feasibility of producing metal parts using these has been thoroughly analyzed, but the design process yet catch up with capabilities. Biodegradable aliphatic polyester PLA derived from lactic acid. To enhance its strength, combined particles, resulting versatile property improvements applications. While aesthetic functional qualities PLA–metal composite filaments are intriguing, they also present difficulties related extrusion, equipment wear, maintaining consistent print quality. These challenges could be mitigated, some extent, careful tuning hardware. However, inferior mechanical properties bioresorbable highlight need development infilled improve strength characteristics. This review discusses printing materials used, their as matter interest technology. Additionally, applications composites, along implications, limitations, prospects, comprehensively examined this article. sets stage high-strength, sustainable use range engineering technology fields.
