The process of digital fabrication, commonly known as 3D printing or additive manufacturing, involves gradually adding materials to a geometric representation to make physical objects. Dr. Kodama receives the first 3D printing efforts in exchange for his creation of a quick prototyping method. He was the first to explain a layer-by-layer manufacturing process and develop the photosensitive resin that served as the prototype of SLA. 3D printing is now widely used throughout the world. 3D printing technology is progressively being applied for mass modification and manufacture of open-source designs in agricultural, healthcare, automobile, locomotive, and aviation industries. A significant amount of 3D printing technology is currently being employed in the pharmaceutical production chain to change what pharmacies do when producing particular drugs. The advantages include extremely reproducible results, a variety of pharmaceutical release patterns, and individualized pharmacological therapy. Patients may benefit from a variety of advantages provided by 3DP’s customized medications. It may be better to provide a patient a printable dosage form on paper rather than one printed with powder. Used in the creation of complicated release profile formulation and customized delivery, as well as drug printing in picoliters and minimizing API side effects or adverse effects.
