Abstract

A final product is created using the layer-by-layer deposition of materials in a 3D printer in accordance with a digital model. Over the past ten years, a number of innovative technologies have been created to transform the traditional dosage schedule into individualised medicine. Building a suitable 3D model for applications like drug testing, sensing, testing, and organs-on-chip may also employ methods intended to customise dosing regimes. Numerous cutting-edge technologies have been developed during the past 10 years to change the conventional dose regimen into individualised medication. Both the development of medicine delivery methods and the identification of new drugs employed 3D printing. This study aims to investigate different 3D printing techniques used to produce oral solid dosage forms. It's critical to comprehend which polymers work best for extrusion-based 3D printing of medicines and how their characteristics and interactions with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) affect printing. Successful 3D printing of dosage forms or printed structures requires an understanding of the rheology of the polymer and API-polymer mixes. The production of oral solid dosage forms has been demonstrated to be suitable for the FDM, SLA, SLS, and PB-Inkjet printing processes.
