چکیده
In an era moving towards digital health, 3D printing has successfully proven its applicability in providing personalised medicine through a technology-based approach. Among the different techniques, direct extrusion been demonstrated as promising approach for on demand manufacturing of solid dosage forms. However, it usually requires use elevated temperatures and/or incorporation evaporable solvent (usually water). This can implicate addition drying step, which may compromise integrity moisture- or temperature-sensitive drugs, and open door additional quality control challenges. Here, we demonstrate new that simplifies process with elimination post-printing by merely adding fatty glyceride, glyceryl monostearate (GMS), to model drug (theophylline) permeable water insoluble methacrylate polymers (Eudragit RL RS). Indeed, rheological studies indicated combination plasticiser, (triethyl citrate), GMS theophylline: polymer blends significantly reduced extensional viscosity (to <2.5 kPa·Sec) at 90 °C. Interestingly, dual temperature-dependant behaviour acting both plasticiser lubricant temperature (90–110 °C), while aiding solidification room temperature.

The printed tablets showed acceptable compendial weight content uniformity well sufficient mechanical resistance. vitro theophylline release from was dependant Eudragit RL:RS ratio. All all, this work contributes efforts developing simplified, facile low-cost small batch bespoke circumvents high post-manufacturing step.

متن کاملProcess Monitoring of Extrusion Based 3D Printing via Laser Scanning
Extrusion based 3D Printing (E3DP) is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique that extrudes thermoplastic polymer in order to build up components using a layerwise approach. Hereby, AM typically requires long production times in comparison to mass production processes such as Injection Molding. Failures during the AM process are often only noticed after build completion and frequently lead to ...

متن کاملAutocomplete Textures for 3D Printing
Texture is an essential property of physical objects that affects aesthetics, usability, and functionality. However, designing and applying textures to 3D objects with existing tools remains difficult and time-consuming; it requires proficient 3D modeling skills. To address this, we investigated an auto-completion approach for efficient texture creation that automates the tedious, repetitive pr...
