Groundbreaking 3D Printed Pills with Timed Drug Release Developed by University of Nottingham Researchers

Researchers from the University of Nottingham have developed 3D printed pills using Multi-Material InkJet 3D Printing, allowing for personalized medication with timed drug release capabilities. This innovative method controls drug release rate within the tablet, simplifying complex medication regimens into a single dose. The technology has the potential to revolutionize drug delivery and advance personalized medicine, although challenges like the need for additional formulations remain. With the ability to print 56 pills in a single batch, this advancement showcases the potential for mass production of personalized medicines for diseases requiring precise timing and dosage accuracy.
