Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In the past few decades, additive manufacturing (AM) has been developed and applied as a cost-effective and versatile technique for the fabrication of geometrically complex objects in the medical industry. In this review, we discuss current advances of AM in medical applications for the generation of pharmaceuticals, medical implants, and medical devices. Oral and transdermal drugs can be fabricated by a variety of AM technologies. Different types of hard and soft clinical implants have also been realized by AM, with the goal of producing tissue-engineered constructs. In addition, medical devices used for diagnostics and treatment of various pathological conditions have been developed. The growing body of research on AM reveals its great potential in medical applications. The goal of this review is to highlight the usefulness and elucidate the current limitations of AM applications in the medical field.
