Abstract
With the rapid pace of development in the pharmaceutical industries the researchers are equally contributing in developing the latest technology for their growth. The computer aided design and manufacturing that provides 3 dimensional (3D) printed dosage forms which the new step is being that to be taken into a consideration. With the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to first 3D printed tablet in August 2015, Spritam®, since the 3D printing has become a novel method for the design of drug delivery system. It has the capability of dispensing the drug more accurately, precisely and layer by layer assembly which helps in forming complex composition and geometries. It enables the preparation of personalised dosage form and tailored release profiles. Therefore, it can be seen as a future of solid dosage forms produced on demand, with customised dose and in lower cost. It can also help in reducing side effects caused by excessive doses. This review highlights the 3D printing technology and its applications in growth of pharmaceutical sector. The novel technology is simple, rapid and design most complex things. Hence this technology can take drug delivery technology to another horizon
