3D Printing drug is to design and develop
medicine that are suited to an
individual. Pharmaceutical product is designed in three
dimensions with computer. The three-dimensional
printing (3DP) is an advance technique which used to
describe 3D products manufactured on a digital
platform designing and, in a layer-by-layer fashion of the
given pharmaceutical product and object. The 3D
Printing technology generally used to formulate the
medicines that are tailored to a patient's therapeutic
requirements (e.g., dosage, drug and drug release
profiles). The aspects associated with 3D printing such as
less material wastage, ease of manufacturing, less human
involvement, very less post processing and energy
efficiency makes the process sustainable for industrial
use. 3D Printing technology has appeared as a major
technological revolution of the recent years leading to
the manufacturing and production of novel medical
products and devices in pharmaceutical industry. In 3D
Printing the Deposition of medicaments and excipients
which may resulting in a shift in perspective in drug
configuration, production, and use. These dosage forms
address on-demand manufacturing, feasibility, improved
size, dosage, and geometry, increased bioavailability with
desired drug release profiles, and minimal toxicity or
adverse drug reaction issues. However, it may help to
address specific issues for various subgroups, such as
paediatrics, geriatric, visually impaired, and chronic
disease patients. Although several articles highlight the
various applications of 3DP techniques. This review
highlights the recent dominance role of 3D Printing
technology such as including fused deposition modelling
(FDM, Stereolithography (SL) and binder jetting has
described the advancements in pharmaceuticals
formulations with latest technology and enhancing drug
therapeutic activity against the particular disease within
less of time, show therapeutic approaches to bring in a
vast array of useful applications and benefits to human.
