Abstract :
Personalized 3D-printed medications are created using computer-aided model design and additive manufacturing, another name for 3D printing technology. The application of 3D printing technology in the pharmaceutical industry has advanced significantly in recent years. 3D printing technology offers substantial benefits in personalized medicine manufacturing when compared to conventional drug preparation methods. It makes it simple to manufacture preparations with intricate structures or drug release behaviours and enables quick production of small quantities of medications. This review summarizes the workings of the most widely used 3D printing technologies,Types of 3d printing, outlines their features, benefits, and uses in the pharmaceutical sector, challenges examines the global commercialization of 3D printed medications and its issues and difficulties, represents the trends in the 3D printed drug industry’s development, and provides guidance for researchers involved in 3D printing drug.
Keywords: Three- dimensional printing technology; Three- dimensional printed drug; Drug delivery.
