A review of 3D printing via fused deposition modeling in pharmaceutics / 药学学报

ABSTRACT

Three dimensional printing (3D printing) has been known as additive manufacturing technique based on digitally-controlled deposition of materials. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of techniques commonly used in 3D printing, in which materials are soften or melt by heat to create objects during printing. This paper is prepared to review the research and application of 3D printing via FDM in the pharmaceutical sciences, including its advantages and limitations.
