AbstractThe fast growth of 3D printing technology gives designers many ways to make structures that are hard to see. 3D printing lets you customize complex structures in any way you want and make rapid prototypes of materials. It enables you to simulate things more effectively. So far, experiments with polymer‐based lubrication have been done on atomically smooth surfaces, under dynamic conditions, and on the nano‐ or micro‐scale. Polymer‐based lubrication in 3D printing has been studied in depth, which has made it possible to make significant, multifunctional 3D structures with microscale accuracy. It is a crucial way to approach lubrication and has sparked much scientific interest. A thorough literature review is done to keep track of the latest advances in 3D printing for structural polymer‐based lubrication simulation. The design and lubrication performance quality of bio‐inspired, different‐sized simulation structures is given much attention. The material requirements, skills, and representative applications of various 3D printing technologies are summarized. The efficient directions for future research in designing and making 3D‐printed lubrication structures are also pointed out.
