The concept of “Industry 4.0” (I4.0) refers to a technologically driven manufacturing paradigm in which increased automation connects the cyber and physical realms. Following the emergence of I4.0, manufacturing organizations have gradually adopted an array of digital technologies, one of which is Additive Manufacturing (AM). AM is unquestionably at the forefront of the next great industrial transformation, which has the capacity to fundamentally alter the current manufacturing business model. This study conducted a comprehensive literature review to enumerate the current research landscape of I4.0 technologies and their synergistic integration with AM. It focused on crucial AM process parameters, examining their potential implications using emerging technologies. A framework has been established to integrate the diverse technologies and processes associated with I4.0 with AM in a way that optimises advantages and mitigates obstacles. Additionally, it identified and deliberated on research gaps, providing guidance for future research endeavours.
