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

Additive Manufacturing (AM) developments go back several decades, but stereolithography was the first commercial use of AM in the late 1980s using polymeric materials, and was widely used initially in the automotive industry sector. The aerospace industry adopted AM in the mid-1990s using polymer AM parts for non-structural production applications, and there are now a multitude of AM parts on commercial aircraft such as air ducts, brackets, and clips.
