Abstract

The promising technology depend on using 3D printers' machines (3DPs) might be considered a modern approach in drug industry and delivery. A 3D printer may define as a machine which fabricates 3D models or products using computer aided design (CAD) software programs. These printers can create a single copy of an item that is too complicated and very difficult to produce by using traditional manufacturing methods. Moreover, it has ability to make products with complex internal structure geometries with lower cost and time. Recently, 3D printers have been involved into printing bio-products, custom pills and organs for transplant. This review presents the types of 3DPs suitable for drug industry and delivery. There are several types of 3DPs are used in pharmaceutical fields including inkjet (IK) printers, fused filament (FF) type printers, extrusion and hot melt extrusion 3D printing, sintering by selective kind of laser (SLS), Stereolithography (SLA), melting by micro selective laser (SLM), binder applied jetting printing (BJ) and the laminated object engineering manufacturing (LOM).
