The Application of 3-D Printing in Nanomedicine

The most cutting-edge method for producing pharmaceutical dosage forms in recent years has been 3D printing or additive manufacturing. This approach uses advanced technology, like a virtual model, to control the production apparatus and produce the desired dosage form of an actual object. Due to the demand from different sectors of the world for health services and the urgency of controlling the side effects associated with conventional dosage forms, the pharmaceutical industry tries to produce dosage forms in large quantities these days with 3D printing. With this technology, items are designed through layer-by-layer material manufacturing employing layer-based systems of processes, extrusion, ink-jet printing, and laser printing technologies by using various polymers and other suitable excipients. Additionally, the various delivery systems, such as customized drug doses and personalized medicine, as well as other healthcare sectors, demonstrate the potential benefits of 3D technology in delivering personalized therapy to the individual. This overview covers the various methods and how they are used in the production of 3D medicines, as well as the regulatory issues that this industry faces.
