Used printing technologies within publications that assess the printing error. a absolute number of publications by printing technology as named by manufacturer of 3D-printer. B proportion of basic 3D-printing technologies by types of original structures. Right column: overall proportion of basic 3D-printing technologies. The groups “curing of liquid photopolymers”, extrusion of tough masses through nozzle” and “melting/sintering/binding of powder“are formed according to the main printing technologies as described in Table 3. Note that codominance of two or more printing technologies within one publication is possible
