2. DEVELOPMENT OF PILL
According to history ,the oldest pills can be traced
back to 140BC , first compressed tablets were
prepared in 1878.

3. OVER 1000 YEARS OF AUTOMATION :
The force of compression is delivered by
high pressure compression rolls which
fuse the granulated material together into
a hard tablet.

4. The 1st 3D printed object is small cup for eye wash invented in 1984
3D printed human skull implanted 22 yrs old women in 2014
3D printed created lower jaw that has been fitted to an 83 yrs old women face

5. 3DP DEVELOPMENT :
Food
Toys
Automobile industry
Computer parts
Pharmaceuticals
Drug device
Medical device
Bio printing

6. Spritam tablets for oral use
which is FDA first approved
3D printed drug product

7. What is 3D printing ?
It was first developed in 1984.
3D printing or additive manufacturing is process of marking three dimensional
solid object from a digital file.
The creation of 3D printed object is achieved using additive process.
In 3D printing an object is created by layer by layer addition of material to make a
shape.

8. How it works?
A online design of the object is created.
CAD (computer aided design) uses a 3D model program or 3D scanner for online design.
The software cut the final model into hundreds or thousands of layer.
The printing creates the object layer by layer resulting in one three dimensional object.

9. Traditional vs 3D
PROCESS TRADITIONAL 3D
COST Higher cost of manufacturing Up to 70% save cost on 3D
SPEED More time for final product Less time for final product
WASTAGE More wastage Less wastage

10. Methods
 FDM : uses a plastic material and metal wire as input material from a coil and supplies
material to product and it is liquid based
EBM : It is 3d manufacturing process in which a powdered metal is melted by high
energy beam of electron

11. Advantages :
High rate product due to fast opening system.
3d save time and cost.
Disadvantages:
Difficult to install manually.
Limited raw material.

12. 3D Application:
Bio printing of tissues and organs.
Unique dosage forms.
Anatomical model.
Best 3D printing software:
AUTOCAD
AUTOCAD 360
TIN AUTOCAD

13. Conclusion
3D printing technology is valuable tool for pharma sector .
It offer more advantages in drug development.
3d printing is notable method in pharma and health care.
