ASPECTS OF 3D PRINTING IN PHARMACEUTICAL TECHNOLOGY: CURRENT SCENARIO AND ITS FUTURE PERSPECTIVE

The use of 3D printing in the pharmaceutical industry is a relatively recent development that has attracted a lot of attention since it has many advantages over more conventional pharmaceutical manufacturing methods. The design of an appropriate 3D printing system that can produce formulations with the desired drug release may be made possible by technological advancements. The ability of printing technology to develop potentially innovative oral dosage forms is a significant feature in the field of drug delivery. Additionally, it makes it possible for production processes to evolve quickly, safely, and affordably. As a result, this innovative technology is applied widely in the pharmaceutical industry. Also improving patient convenience through 3D printing will increase drug compliance. The pharmaceutical sectors is particularly interested in fused deposition modelling, powder-bed fusion and inject printing processes, which are briefly covered in this paper among other technical advances for creating 3D objects. This innovative technique has great potential for creating different delivery systems and offering polyp ills with individualized patient-compatible formulations. The potential for this technology to offer 3D printing systems that can produce customized doses will determine its future. In summary, 3D technology can potentially advance drug delivery systems to a new level.
