The pulsatile-release Chronotopic™ system was conceived of as a drug-containing core surrounded by a coat made of swellable/soluble hydrophilic polymers, the latter being able to provide a programmable lag phase prior to drug liberation.…

The utilization of 3DP as manufacturing process might provide some potential benefits for the pharmaceutical industry as well as for patients. In regard to customization and tailoring of pharmaceutical dosage forms, 3DP appears to have a…

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology offers unique advantages for pharmaceutical applications. However, most of current 3D printing methods and instrumentations are not specifically designed and developed for pharmaceutical…

Powder bed fusion (PBF) is a 3D printing method that selectively consolidates powders into 3D objects using a power source. PBF has various derivatives; selective laser sintering/melting, direct metal laser sintering, electron beam melting…

This study demonstrated the first case of combining a novel continuous granulation technique with powder-bed fusion-based selective laser sintering (SLS) process to enhance the dissolution rate and physical properties of a poorly…

During the last decade, an innovative lab on a chip technology known as microfluidics became popular in the pharmaceutical field to produce nanomedicines in a scalable way. Nevertheless, the predominant barriers for new microfluidics users…

In an era moving towards digital health, 3D printing has successfully proven its applicability in providing personalised medicine through a technology-based approach. Among the different 3D printing techniques, direct extrusion 3D printing…

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an innovative additive manufacturing technology, capable of fabricating unique objects in a layer-by-layer manner. Semi-solid extrusion (SSE) is a subset of material extrusion 3D printing, based on the…

3D printing of pharmaceutical formulations requires juggling between the material properties and the printing process to achieve the geometry of the 3D printed products with the desired dose and release. The purpose of the current…
