Additive　manufacturing　(AM)　has　drawn　tremendous　attention　in　various　fields.　In　recent　years,　great　efforts　have　been　made　to　develop　novel　additive　manufacturing　processes　such　as　micro-/nano-scale　3D　printing,　bioprinting,　and　4D　printing　for　the　fabrication　of　complex　3D　structures　with　high　resolution,　living　components,　and　multimaterials.　The　development　of　advanced　functional　materials　is　important　for　the　implementation　of　these　novel　additive　manufacturing　processes.　Here,　a　state-of-the-art　review　on　advanced　material　strategies　for　novel　additive　manufacturing　processes　is　provided,　mainly　including　conductive　materials,　biomaterials,　and　smart　materials.　The　advantages,　limitations,　and　future　perspectives　of　these　materials　for　additive　manufacturing　are　discussed.　It　is　believed　that　the　innovations　of　material　strategies　in　parallel　with　the　evolution　of　additive　manufacturing　processes　will　provide　numerous　possibilities　for　the　fabrication　of　complex　smart　constructs　with　multiple　functions,　which　will　significantly　widen　the　application　fields　of　next-generation　additive　manufacturing.
