Summary:
«3D printing drugs is not a fantasy anymore. Unbelievable shapes and any kind of drug can be fabricated with groundbreaking technology. The UK biotech company, FabRx believes it could even appear as a regular technique in hospitals and pharmacies for creating personalised drugs in specific doses within 5-10 years. In February 2022 the company announced they developed a technology allowing them to 3D print tablets in 7-17 seconds, a huge improvement from earlier.»
«3D printing of custom drugs might sound like an overkill, but the technology can shine in specific cases, like small batches – for rare conditions. Setting up a 3D printing facility is significantly more affordable than setting up a traditional pharma plant, and it also offers drug manufacturing without waste.»
