Course objectives
Additive manufacturing, respectively 3D printing, is gaining attention as the manufacturing tool not only in the engineering industry but also in the field of pharmacy. This subject aims to introduce students to different types of 3D printing technologies (FDM, SLA, SSE) with respect to possible future uses in pharmacy, mainly pharmaceutical technology.
Learning outcomes
Upon absolution students will
- have general overview of existing additive manufacturing methods
- be able to prepare properly formated digital model for 3D printing
- know how to select proper printing technology and excipients for desired drug dosage form
- know the workflow of FDM, SLA and SSE printing in general, including data preparation and process control
Syllabus
