The possibilities of using 3D printing in pharmaceutical industry

Abstract

This article discusses the possibilities of using 3D printing technologies in the pharmaceutical industry, including concrete examples that are already applied in practice. The advantages and problems that arise with active spread of these technologies are described. In addition, after the emergence of any new technology, its introduction into social and public life is crucial, therefore, this article provides specific examples of the legal status and regulation of 3D printed products and discusses its general principles. The importance of the development of 3D printing in the medical and pharmaceutical industries is highlighted from various perspectives, including medical and economic ones. This article is devoted to the use of 3D printing technology for medical purposes. It considers the potential of using 3D printing in various pharmaceutical fields. The paper describes some examples of various applications of 3D printing in medicine and examines the advantages and disadvantages of this technology. Finally, we suggest a prognosis for the future use of 3D printing in medicine and the principles of designating its legal status, with specific examples.
