 As we all know that the world undergoes
development each and every day. There
always a new innovation and introduction
of many technologies to the world.
 One of those technologies is 3D
Printing Technology This technology has
many wide range applications and benefit
in the pharmaceutical industries.3D
Printing Technology can help in marking
the customized and personalised doses a
reality
INTRODUCTION
?
 3D printing or additive manufacturing is
process of marking three dimensional solid
object from a digital file.
 In 3D printing an object is created by layer
by layer addition of material to make a
shape.
 It was first developed in 1984.
 CAD (computer aided design) uses a 3D
model program or 3D scanner for online
design.
 The software cut the final model into
hundreds or thousands of layer.
 The printing creates the object layer by
layer resulting in one three dimensional
object.
WHAT IS 3D PRINTING
3D PRINTING DRUG
 Spritam tablets for oral use which is FDA
first approved 3D printed drug product
METHODS
 Fused deposition modelling (FDM) : It is liquid based fdm works on an
additive manufacturing technology principle by laying down material in
layers uses a plastic material and metal wire as input material from a coil
and supplies material to product
 Electron beam manufacturing(EBM) : It is 3d manufacturing process in
which a powdered metal is melted by high energy beam of electron
Advantages & Disadvantages in Traditional vs 3D
PROCESS TRADITIONAL 3D
COST Higher cost of
manufacturing
Up to 70% save
cost on 3D
SPEED More time for final
product
Less time for final
product
WASTAGE More wastage Less wastage
APPLICATION
• Food ; Toys
• Automobile industry ; Computer parts
• Pharmaceuticals ; Drug delivery
• Medical device
8.Bio printing
 3D printing technology has revolutionized the way which manufacturing
is done. It improve the design manufacturing and reduce lead time and
tooling costs of new product .3D printing technology is a valuable and
potential tool for the pharmaceutical sector leading the way to
personalised medicine focused on the patient’ s need.
