With the rapid increase of industrial and manufacturing sectors, technology is expanding in the stream of Additive manufacturing. Enchanting advantages environmentally and ecologically and product design freedom were increased substantially, which will transform fully functional products from the essential design files. Most of the additive manufacturing processes utilize polymer materials that are processed in the form of resins, granules, and powders to final parts. Lasers and heaters play an important role in processing the raw material (plastics) into final parts. The global problem of consuming polymers reflects on the parts made through additive manufacturing. Different types of materials like ceramics, metals, and composites were developed in the category of powders, and no materials other than polymers and polymer-based materials were developed in liquid- and solid-based processes since its inception. This paper analyzes the review of the disadvantages of liquid-based polymers and filament-based polymers in additive manufacturing and the relevant problems in decomposing plastics and also discusses the need to develop a new material that will match the characteristics of existing polymer material. A detailed review of various materials used in additive manufacturing, natural gum material processing that can be extracted from the trees of Non-timber Forest Produce (NTFP), and its properties and applications to additive manufacturing is provided. Based on the research review, this paper also gives a methodology to be implemented for the preparation of gums in the form of filament for fused deposition modeling (FDM) applications and the form of powders for selective laser sintering (SLS) applications. Further, the effects of using these natural gums in product design can be studied to substitute a new material for the additive manufacturing process.
