ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional (3D) printing has revolutionized manufacturing by enabling the rapid fabrication of complex structures, yet conventional 3D techniques remain constrained by inherent limitations in resolution, speed, and multi‐material integration. To address these challenges, emerging approaches such as microfluidic‐assisted and field‐assisted additive manufacturing have been developed to enhance the capabilities and versatility of the method. Microfluidic‐assisted 3D printing leverages controlled flow patterns for material deposition and control, material gradient formation, and advanced polymerization processes. Field‐assisted methods, including electric‐, acoustic‐, and interface‐assisted approaches, directly manipulate materials during printing to enable advanced functionalities and material properties. This review summarizes the latest advancements in microfluidic‐ and field‐assisted 3D printing, highlighting their unique advantage in overcoming current 3D printing limitations and their potential to drive innovation in applications ranging from biomedical devices to functional materials development.
