3D printing is a method of rapid prototyping and manufacturing in which materials are deposited onto one another in layers to produce a three-dimensional object. Although 3D printing was developed in the 1980s and the technology has found widespread industrial applications for production from automotive parts to machine tools, its application in pharmaceutical area is still limited. However, the potential of 3D printing in the pharmaceutical industry is now being recognized. The ability of 3D printing to produce medications to exact specifications tailored to the needs of individual patients has indicated the possibility of developing personalized medicines. The technology allows dosage forms to be precisely printed in various shapes, sizes and textures that are difficult to produce using traditional techniques. However, there are various challenges associated with the proper application of 3D printing in the pharmaceutical sector which should be overcome to exploit the scope of this technology. In this review, an overview is provided on the various 3D printing technologies used in fabrication of complex dosage forms along with their feasibility and limitations. Keywords: Three-dimensional printing, Personalized medicine, Fused deposition modeling, Inkjet printing, Complex formulations |
