Abstract: One of the most powerful and inventive fabrication techniques used to create novel
structures and solid materials using precise additive manufacturing technology is 5D and 4D
printing, which is an improved version of 3D printing. It catches people's attention because of its
capacity to generate fast, highly complex, adaptable product design and fabrication. Real-time
sensing, change adaptation, and printing state prediction are made possible by this technology
with the use of artificial intelligence (AI). The process of 3D printing involves the use of sophisticated
materials and computer-aided design (CAD) with tomography scanning controlled by artificial
intelligence (AI). The printing material is deposited according to the specifications of the file,
typically in STL format; however, the printing process takes time.4D printing, which incorporates
intelligent materials with time as a fourth dimension, can solve this drawback. About 80% of the
time will be saved by this technique's self-repair and self-assembly qualities. One limitation of 3D
printing is that it cannot print complex shapes with curved surfaces. However, this limitation can
be solved by using 5D printing, which uses rotation of the print bed and extruder head to achieve
additive manufacturing in five different axes. Some printed materials are made sensitive to temperature,
humidity, light, and other parameters so they can respond to stimuli. With its effective
and efficient manufacturing for the necessary design precision, this review assesses the potential
of these procedures with AI intervention in medicine and pharmacy.
