The development of additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has transformed the production of three-dimensional things in a number of fields, including medical. Layer-by-layer product assembly made possible by this technology makes it possible to produce extremely precise and tailored goods, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. The flexibility, speed, and material waste of traditional manufacturing techniques are frequently constrained, whereas 3D printing provides important benefits like improved drug loading accuracy, cost effectiveness, and the ability to produce customized medications that are suited to the needs of specific patients. From the first patents in the 1980s to the most recent developments, the history of 3D printing technology shows a trend toward quick progress and more accessibility .Complex dosage forms like tablets and microneedles may now be created thanks to a variety of 3D printing techniques, including fused deposition modeling and binder jetting, which have been developed to meet a range of needs in medication formulation. Despite its potential, 3D printing in the pharmaceutical industry has drawbacks, such as restricted production scale and resource availability. However, its applications extend beyond healthcare to a wide range of industries, such as the automotive and aerospace sectors, suggesting a wider industrial influence as we move closer to a new manufacturing revolution. The purpose of this review is to clarify the current status of 3D printing in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as its operational procedures, historical background, and implications for future industrial practices.
