Handbook of 3D Printing in Pharmaceutics: Innovations and Applications (Innovations in Smart Manufacturing for Long-Term Development and Growth)

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has evolved as an emerging tool for the design of customized or personalized medication that provides the maximum therapeutic benefits to patients.The manufacturing of medicines in small batches customized with tailored dosages, sizes, shapes, and drug release properties is the key prospect of using 3D printing in pharmaceutics. Handbook of 3D Printing in Pharmaceutics: Innovations and Applications provides a detailed and in-depth technical discussion on the various additive manufacturing processes for the development of pharmaceutical products with experimental justification.It details the characterization, optimization, and numerical modeling of the processes involved and outlines the industrial implications of the resulting products as well as offering solutions for patient- tailored drugs processed by additive manufacturing.The handbook goes on to focus on the various post- processing technologies available to fortify the mechanical, chemical, biolog
