Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a powerful technology that has wide-ranging applications, including many in the pharmaceutical industry. Among the approaches that are being explored in the production of pharmaceutical dosage forms powder-based systems which utilize either drop-on-powder or selective laser sintering and liquid-based systems which use dropon-drop deposition or stereolithography are frequently applied. With liquid-based technology, either UV, laser energy or high temperature is used to induce polymerization and build the 3D structure.1 The process of 3D printing offers the potential to produce medications tailored to the needs of patients and dosage forms in various shapes, sizes and textures with different release profiles that can be difficult to produce using conventional techniques.2

There are different tracking technologies typically used in a production facility. Depending on the amount of data transmitted and the complexity of implementation each have corresponding price points. The manual manipulation of hand scanners requires time for processing and allows for error in recording. The cost of implementation is low, but systems require consistent investment of time devoted to ensuring accuracy. The cost to serialize assets for tracking is low, but the data can be damaged and capacity/flexibility for data storage is limited.

During application development, it is often the case that additive manufacturing and surface finishing processes are considered separately and sequentially. This leads to suboptimal results in terms of the final surface finish, as well as increased cost per part (CPP).

Developing products for an increasingly complex world certainly challenges or even exceeds engineering capabilities. Many factors impact complexity such as connectivity, security, safety, product variants, development velocity, reliability and quality,Many argue tha the major driver to better manage this complexity is the engineering paradigm of Industry 4.0.

A fast-changing world forces companies to adapt faster. This creates special challenges for their digitalization initiatives. Composability and no-code technologies enables companies not only to keep up with changes. They allow them also to react rapidly and proactively and even use changes as an opportunity to achieve competitive advantages
