One of the trends in reducing the costs of biomedical device production is additive manufacturing or interchangeably
known as 3D printing[38]. This process offers the economic advantages of reduced wastes and faster production time.
Current studies suggest that additive manufacturing is economical when done in small batches. However, these
studies tend to be limited in their scope due to the complexities associated with measuring the cost-effectiveness of 3D-printed products. Nevertheless, the 3D printing of robotic exoskeletons either for prototyping or distribution is a great target for new research
