description The advent of 3D printing has transformed manufacturing. However, extending the library of materials to improve 3D printing quality remains a challenge. Defects can occur when printing parameters like print speed and temperature are chosen incorrectly. These can cause structural or dimensional issues in the final product. This review investigates closed‐loop artificial intelligence‐augmented additive manufacturing (AI2AM) technology that integrates AI‐based monitoring, automation, and optimization of printing parameters and processes. AI2AM uses AI to improve defect detection and prevention, improving additive manufacturing quality and efficiency. This article explores generic 3D printing processes and issues using existing research and developments. Next, it focuses on fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers and reviews their parameters and issues. The current remedies developed for defect detection and monitoring in FDM 3D printers are presented. Then, the article investigates AI‐based 3D printing monitoring, closed‐loop feedback systems, and parameter optimization development. Finally, closed‐loop 3D printing challenges and future directions are discussed. AI‐based systems detect and correct 3D printing failures, enabling current printers to operate within optimal conditions and minimizing the risk of defects or failures, which in turn leads to more sustainable manufacturing with minimum waste and extending the library of materials.
