Pakistan’s healthcare infrastructure has been slow in adapting and implementing this new technology which is an integral part of the industry 4.0. Various sources including Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and Google were utilised from June to august 2021 to extract articles and information on advantages of AM in orthopaedics. Furthermore, its possible acquisition by a hospital, educational or an industrial setup is also highlighted in this review.</p> <p><strong>doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.3.5182</strong></p> <p><em><strong>How to cite this:</strong></em><br>Gandapur HK, Amin MS.
