The impact of 3D printing in the field of medicine has been impressive; from fully customized implants, medical supplies and braces to bioprinting blood vessels, the list of objects that have already been successfully printed in this field demonstrates the potential that this technology holds for healthcare in the near future. This technology stands to revolutionize the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, with possibilities that sound straight out of science fiction. The first 3D printed pill was approved last year by the Food and Drug Administration to treat epilepsy. While there are several significant concerns that need addressing before 3D pharmaceutical printing technology goes mainstream, the benefits are well worth exploring.
