Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), a New Chapter in the Production of Solid Oral Forms (SOFs) by 3D Printing.

3D printing is a new emerging technology in the pharmaceutical manufacturing landscape. Its potential advantages for personalized medicine have been widely explored and commented on in the literature over recent years. More recently, the selective laser sintering (SLS) technique has been investigated for oral drug-delivery applications.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), the new asset for the production of tailored medicines.

Over the last few years, conventional medicine has been increasingly moving towards precision medicine. Today, the production of oral pharmaceutical forms tailored to patients is not achievable by traditional industrial means. A promising solution to customize oral drug delivery has been found in the utilization of 3D Printing and in particular Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM).
