Inkjet printing is a form of additive manufacturing where liquid droplets are selectively deposited onto a substrate followed by solidification. The process provides significant potential advantages for producing solid oral dosage forms or tablets, including a reduction in the number of manufacturing steps as well as the ability to tailor a unique dosage regime to an individual patient. This study utilises solvent inkjet printing to print tablets through the use of a Fujifilm Dimatix printer.

- * Researchers developed solvent-based inks to create solid dosage forms that comply with pharmaceutical standards, demonstrating this with 3D-printed tablets containing the drug ropinirole hydrochloride.
- * This study is significant as it marks the first publication of a UV inkjet-printed tablet, paving the way for more scalable and high-precision manufacturing techniques in the pharmaceutical industry.
An initial study of processing bioresorbable polycaprolactone (PCL) through material jetting was conducted using a Fujifilm Dimatix DMP-2830 material printer. The aim of this work was to investigate a potential solvent based method of jetting polycaprolactone. Several solvents were used to prepare a PCL solvent based ink and 1, 4-dioxane was chosen with the consideration of both solubility and safety.
