3D Printing in Medicine
Abstract
The emerging 3D printing technology signifies a groundbreaking evolution in the production of medicines, transitioning from conventional technological methods to additive manufacturing. 3D printers are used to manufacture a variety of medical devices, including those with complex geometry or features that match a patient’s unique anatomy. For example, in hospital settings, 3D printing will facilitate the creation of personalized drug dosages, helping patients with specific medical needs. Integrating 3D printing into settings revolutionizes clinical pharmacy by making drug manufacturing more accessible and adaptable to patient needs. Three-dimensional pharmaceutical printing is a pioneering advancement in personalized medicine, utilizing layer-by-layer deposition of pharmaceutical materials to produce customized medications with distinct structures, precise dosages, and tailored drug combinations. This paper will discuss the transformative impact of 3D printing on medicine.
