Exploring 3D Printing for Solid Dosage Drugs

Printers-which are available in good manufacturing practice (GMP) versions-use various additive manufacturing methods to build layer upon layer, which allows precise placement of multiple ingredients within a dose. The researchers, funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)...

Description
Summary:Printers-which are available in good manufacturing practice (GMP) versions-use various additive manufacturing methods to build layer upon layer, which allows precise placement of multiple ingredients within a dose. The researchers, funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) through a Small Business Innovation Research program, are working on a predictive model that uses a near infrared (NIR) spectrometer incorporated into the drug printer, in this case the FABRX M3DIMAKER2, says Flank. The built-in quality control tools include NIR to test blend homogeneity and a weigh scale to measure every tablet.
