Case Studies and Success Stories in FDM 3D Printing for Pharmaceuticals
摘要
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing has significantly impacted pharmaceutical drug delivery and medicine personalization. Case studies and success stories demonstrate its wide applications and promising achievements in the pharmaceutical industry. Examples include Aprecia Pharmaceuticals’ FDA-approved ZipDose® tablets and the University of Michigan’s personalized dose form studies. Collaborations between Aprecia Pharmaceuticals and Cycle Pharmaceuticals have driven the development of Printlets by FabRx and advanced drug delivery systems. FDM printing has improved patient treatment adherence and medication effectiveness, enabling on-demand pharmaceutical manufacture and drug delivery device prototypes. It has also helped build new medication delivery devices and complex in-vitro drug testing models. This technology has the potential to revolutionize medication discovery, production, and personalized treatment.
