While this approach is effective and, in some situations, necessary, the appeal of a sustainable, efficient, and digitalized production solution cannot be ignored. The focus of additive manufacturing (AM) is typically on low-weight-bearing prostheses, which can be misleading for clinics attempting to adopt AM solutions for clientele with weight-bearing or activity-level needs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"objective\">\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review aims to offer readers a way to approach AM for load-bearing requirements as opposed to non\u2013load-bearing counterparts.
