3D Printing, Computer aided design, Dose tailoringAbstract
3D Printing is an expeditious space of investigation in the pharmaceutical field, due to its flexibility and feasibility. This is an additive process of stacking materials in layers to form a solid object by means of a 3D Printer. Fabrication of the product has been done with the instruction based on a CAD file. The 3DP technologies developed includes Selective Laser Sintering, Stereolithography, Fused Deposition Modelling, Thermal Inkjet printing, Zip dose technology etc. and this article will discuss each technique in detail. Aprecia’s Spritam is the first FDA approved 3D printed medicine, developed by means of Zip dose technology. The ultimate advantage by the adaptation of this technology is due to its potential ability for dose tailoring and personalization. Though the technology is much accessible, this is overdone with numerous regulations.
