“New materials and advanced manufacturing techniques are emerging as promising solutions to address the challenges associated with pharmaceutical manufacturing, offering innovative approaches to enhance the effectiveness of existing drugs. Among these techniques, 3D printing (3DP) stands out as a powerful method for producing dosage forms, particularly tailored to pediatric and geriatric formulations. 3DP enables the creation of highly intricate structures with exceptional reproducibility, speed, and cost-effectiveness, ushering in a new era for personalized dosage form manufacturing.
This comprehensive book delves into the fundamentals of each additive manufacturing (AM) method, its current applications in pharmaceutics, and offers instructive case studies, making it an ideal resource for both undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) students. What sets this book apart is its integration of studies involving different AM technologies, reinforcing the significance of printing parameters and material considerations. Additionally, the book includes case studies and multiple-choice questions (MCQs) that facilitate the practical application of the content, making it suitable for a flipped-classroom approach.”
