A scientometrics study and its practical implications for fused deposition modeling

Abstract

This study presents a scientometric analysis focusing on fused deposition modeling (FDM), highlighting key findings such as the top contributing nations, prevalent publication types, and prominent publishers. It tracks changes in FDM research over time, noting a significant increase in publications, and identifies popular keywords indicating recurring topics in the field. Additionally, the analysis explores highly cited journals and their burst rates, concluding with an examination of research categories and institutes involved in FDM research. These insights offer valuable guidance for researchers, institutions, and stakeholders interested in advancing FDM technology, with practical implications discussed. The detailed examination of the scholarly landscape in FDM contributes to a deeper understanding of the field's dynamics and potential avenues for future research and innovation.
