Abstract

The unique properties of 3D printing technology, such as additive manufacturing, have been attributed to its growing demands in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. In recent years, these technical approaches have gained in popularity as a cost-effective way to develop custom dose forms for tissue engineering and molecular diagnostics. A multimodal drug delivery system with faster release characteristics is being developed, which is useful in the case of personalized dose forms, according to an assessment of the existing situation. A review of 3D printing technology used throughout pharmaceutical applications was carried out. There are several kinds of 3D printers, and each one employs a unique technique to interact with different materials in diverse ways. In terms of material and application, the most crucial thing to keep in mind with 3D printing is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. A light and heat source are sometimes used in 3D printers that employ powder materials to melt or fuse the layers of powder to create the desired shape. When using a 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) file to make a 3D model or scanning a 3D object with a 3D scanner, the filament is heated by the extruder to form the layer and produce the desired shape
