Researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a viable bioink for 3D printed pills.As seen at the 3D Medical Expo in Maastricht, 3D printed pharmaceuticals are a relatively new venture but believed to have great potential for innovating an industry that has stayed the same since its conception.

3D printing went beyond its theoretical applications in the pharma industry when the first drug manufactured using the technology was approved by the FDA. But just how broadly will this form of additive manufacturing be used by drugmakers? Via Dominique Godefroy, guillaume riottot

3D Printing has been making its way into medicine, in more ways than one. We have seen it come to the aid of surgeons who use the technology to print out replicas of organs, bones, and other body tissue, prior to performing live surgery. Via guillaume riottot

Medicine is one of the more exciting fields that 3D printing promises to radically innovate. Doctors have already used the technology to help repair damaged airways in children with a 3D-printed splint, but researchers in the pharmaceutical field have instead been dabbling with custom-shaped pills optimized for every patient’s treatment needs.

New possibilities in 3D printing may open up a whole new chapter of opportunities for pharmaceutical research and bio-technology applications. There are a number of ways it could be used — drug dosage forms, supporting delivery, or helping to research cures. Let’s explore how that might work.
Pharmaceutical drug research and development could be improved drastically by 3D printing. Rather than printing objects made out of plastic or metal, imagine printing pills or human organs and tissue. This would allow companies to test drugs much more safely (and much cheaper). It seems to be within science’s reach — and closer than ever. Healthcare changes on the horizonCompared to other sectors, 3D printing technology has played a minor role in healthcare so far. Experts assume that healthcare only accounted for 1.6 percent of all investments made into the $700 million 3D printing industry. However, that number is expected to grow to 21 percent over the next 10 years. The latest research shows an even more drastic development for health and medicine. Using 3D printing for medical applications could amount to a market value of $2.13 billion by 2020, says market research company MarketsandMarkets.com. Applications such as dental implants have already been very successful commercially: It’s assumed that around 50,000 custom-fit Invisalign braces are printed on a daily basis.

How long will it take from MIT lab to my place ? 50 years ago, 20-30 years, today I guess I must start cleaning up and making some room.
