Abstract
To improve the functioning of manufactured components, multiprocess approaches in 3D printing combine additive manufacturing with complementing methods as subtractive machining, coating, embedding, multi-material integration, and automated digital processes. While sequential, parallel, hybrid, and automated multiprocessing systems enhance accuracy, strength, thermal management, electronic integration, and surface quality, traditional singlematerial 3D printing techniques frequently restrict end-use performance. The categorization of multiprocess systems, appropriate materials, multifunctional fabrication principles, and current technical developments are highlighted in this paper. Applications in engineering, healthcare, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals show how multiprocess techniques are changing component performance and making it possible to create extremely complex, functional, and customizable systems. The move to smart materials and fully automated manufacturing ecosystems is highlighted in the article’s conclusion, which also discusses future potential and problems.
