3D Printing Technology and Application Prospect in Solid Preparation of Traditional Chinese Medicine
With the rapid development of 3D printing technology,it has been widely applied in fields of aerospace,automotive,medical and food industries.The FDA approving levetiracetam effervescent tablets produced by 3D printing technology marked the possibility of industrial production of 3D drug printing.The principles of 3D printing technologies of inkjet printing,powder liquid bonding and fused deposition modelling are reviewed.These three methods are most likely to be used in solid preparation of traditional Chinese medicine.There are so many advantages in solid preparation of traditional Chinese medicine by 3D printing technology,such as it is easy to make multilayer sustainedrelease preparation,accuracy control of dose and make essential oil preparation.However,the wide application of 3Dprinting technology in pharmaceutical industry still needs to solve the problems of lack of production supervision,few kinds of accessories and inadequate investment in R&D.In the future,3D printing technology will provide a more efficient and personality way for solid preparation of traditional Chinese medicine.With the continuous development of science and technology in the fields of computer control,3D printing industrialization and Chinese medicine accessories,the application of traditional Chinese medicine preparations by 3D printing will be more and more extensive.
