ABSTRACT

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) in pharmaceutical technology is a new technique that can build the desired objects directly from CAD models using a layer-by-layer material build-up approach. This article presents an overview of the 3DP technique with a brief look into the history of the 3DP process and various methods like stereolithography, fused deposition method, hot melt extrusion, polyjet, etc., their merits and demerits, and applications of 3DP in pharmaceutical technology. The challenges 3DP has surmounted in the areas of pharmaceutical and biomedical research related to additive manufacturing are outlined in this review.. The use of 3DP has increased recently. Personalized medicine may now have access to a whole new range of options due to 3DP. The concept of specialists and researchers is to create customized oral pills using 3DP. Since technology is still developing, any regulations on security, safety, and privacy have yet to exist. Thus, these issues will be of more significant concern shortly. The applications of 3DP technologies in modern drug delivery are highlighted in this article, which expounds on using these technologies for forward-thinking advancements in pharmacy practice.

Keywords: Additive manufacturing; Computer-aided design (CAD); Drop on solid (DOS); Polymers; Selective laser sintering (SLS); Three-dimensional printing (3DP).
