摘要：Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has the potential to transform manufacturing in pharmaceutical and biomedical industries. It is a highly customizable processing technique that can be applied to polymers and other bio-materials. These days 3D printing with novel materials has appealed to the industries as material have been designed to have synergistic properties. In the Pharmaceutical Industries, working with low quantities with accuracy, precise spatial control can be achieved by employing this technique, which allows us to prepare intricate compositions and 3D geometries are possible. With this technology, customization of dosage form is possible. As per the patient needs, the dosage form can be designed with multiple active pharmaceutical ingredients and desired release profiles. 3D printing also finds it applications in the Biomedical field, as it offers great precision and control of the internal architecture and complicated structures found in biological tissues and organs. Advances in past few years have assisted 3D printing of biocompatible polymers and supporting components into complex 3D functional biological tissues scaffolds and living organs. The adaptability of interactions enables the more simplistic manufacturing of complex parts with tailored structures. The potential for polymers to generate well-defined parts, tissues scaffolds, and complex compositions for drug delivery provides an unparalleled route for developing next-generation 3D printed materials having applicability in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industry.
