Iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs), traditionally manufactured, are favored in engineering applications owing to their cost-effectiveness and ease of fabrication. However, the conventional manufacturing process of Fe-SMAs is time-consuming and raw-material-wasting. In contrast, additive manufacturing (AM) technology offers a streamlined approach to the integral molding of materials, significantly reducing raw material usage and fabrication time. Despite its potential, research on AMed Fe-SMAs remains in its early stages. This review provides updated information on current AM technologies utilized for Fe-SMAs and their applications. It provides an in-depth discussion on how printing parameters, defects, and post-printing microstructure control affect the mechanical properties and shape memory effect (SME) of AMed Fe-SMAs. Furthermore, this review identifies existing challenges in the AMed Fe-SMA approach and proposes future research directions, highlighting potential areas for development. The insights presented aim to guide improvements in the material properties of AMed Fe-SMAs by optimizing printing parameters and enhancing the SME through microstructure adjustment.
