Discover this Q&A, where Thomas Kipping, Ph.D., Head of 3D Printing and Solubility Enhancement, sheds light on the evolution, current state, and future prospects of 3D printing in pharma, in conversation with Pharma’s Almanac's to discuss the topic of additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, and how it is reshaping pharmaceutical manufacturing. Unlike traditional oral solid dose (OSD) manufacturing, 3D printing offers unparalleled flexibility in designing drug prototypes, final dosage forms enabling precision dosing and the creation of complex release kinetics. This technology is especially valuable during early R&D, for creating innovative dosage forms and streamlining the supply of clinical trial material. Our raw materials portfolio plays a leading role in the 3D printing space, establishing collaborations and developing products to realize the potential of additive manufacturing. #solidformulation #formulation #osd #drugdevelopment
