ICT Professional Skills Report: 3D Printing Technology Review

This report provides an analysis of 3D printing technologies, specifically focusing on their applications in bioengineering. It examines two research articles, one by Chia & Wu (2015) and another by Murphy & Atala (2014), which explore the use of 3D printing in creating biomaterials, scaffolds for tissue engineering, and other biological applications. The report summarizes the key findings of each article, highlighting the technologies used (such as Direct-Write, Fused Deposition Modeling, and Stereolithography) and the materials involved (proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, and living cells). It also offers recommendations for further research, such as analyzing the implementation and advancement of 3D printing applications, and suggests improving the presentation of data and analysis. The report emphasizes the growing importance of 3D printing in modern engineering and its potential for creating complex biological structures.

Chia, H. N., & Wu, B. M. (2015). Recent advances in 3D printing of biomaterials. Journal
of biological engineering, 9(1), 4.
Annotation: Third dimension is one of the novel emerging technology. In, this article Chai and
other authors are mainly focused on complex use of 3D printing of biomaterials. This reports
illustrate a board evolution process of 3D printer from making one kind of devices to assist in
scaffolds for tissue engineering, diagnostic platforms, and drug delivery systems. They also
review, the technology advances and major materials within the last five years for each of the
common 3D printing technologies such as 3D Direct-Write/Plotting/Bio printing, Fused
Deposition Modeling, Stereo lithography, Selective Laser Sintering and Three Dimensional
Printing (Chia & Wu, 2015). Every technologies are illustrated with suitable example and
limitation of this technologies in tissue engineering that also expand the scope of future research
of advanced manufacturing. Authors were focused on the application of 3D printing and
presented suitable figures to illustrate the layer by layer process of creation a 3D object. After
reading the whole article my knowledge about 3D printer is gradually increased as I was
unfamiliar with the 3D printing utilization in the Biological engineering.
Recommendation: While the report presents a board about the technologies and the application
in the biological engineering. It lacks in the term of implementation and advancement of the 3D
printing application. This article does not provide any clear view where this applications are
applicable. Author would present the data analysis report of utilization of such technology. In
this report, they illustrate most about the theoretical approach as lack of practical concepts. Also
the presentation of the report interface is very poor as they were unable to construct an efficient
structure. They explanation of the theories and approaches are also lengthy as I get bored after
reading some paragraph.

Annotation: This article also provide clear definition and utilization of the certain technologies
with the help of recent reviews including the material information used to create an object with a
wide range of biological agents such as proteins such as collagen and fibrinogen, peptides,
polysaccharides such as alginate and hyaluronic, DNA plasmids, and living cells have been
printed with 3DP. After reading the whole article my knowledge about 3D printer is gradually
increased as I was unfamiliar with the 3D printing utilization in the Biological engineering
((Murphy & Atala, 2014). This article also provide clear definition and utilization of the certain
technologies with the help of recent reviews including the material information used to create an
object with a wide range of biological agents such as proteins such as collagen and fibrinogen,
peptides, polysaccharides such as alginate and hyaluronic, DNA plasmids, and living cells have
been printed with 3DP.
Recommendation: The uses rate of the 3D printer in modern engineering is an emerging
notation. Authors could surveyed some enterprise or facility where 3D printer are being utilized
and collect relevant information. This data set can presented as survey result which will provide
a clear view of the efficiency and advancement of the 3D printer (Murphy & Atala, 2014). They
also could mention some example of the objects which can be created effectively through proper
utilization of 3D printing. However, the paragraphs is too long and talk about various aspects
which could be managed in a suitable manner for offer more effective and efficient article.
