3D Printing Breakthrough Enables Personalized Multi-Drug Tablets

University of Nottingham researchers develop a method to print customizable pills that release medications at controlled rates.

New technique uses Multi-Material InkJet 3D Printing to create tablets with tailored drug release profiles.
Innovative ink formulation reacts to ultraviolet light, forming water-soluble structures within the tablets.
Method simplifies complex medication regimens by combining multiple drugs into a single pill.
Technology shows promise for treating diseases requiring precise timing and dosage of medications.
Researchers aim to expand the range of materials and drugs that can be used with this printing method.
