Porous PLAs with Controllable Density by FDM 3D Printing and Chemical Foaming Agent

Porous Ceramic Filters through 3d Printing

This paper describes current and on-going work in adapting Z-Corp 3D printers to operate with low-cost ceramic materials. The components produced with these clay-based ceramic powders can be fired to produce strong, complex and lightweight ceramic parts. The final material properties, including the porosity of the parts, can be controlled through the part design and, potentially, through additi...

Fabrication of controlled-release budesonide tablets via desktop (FDM) 3D printing.

The aim of this work was to explore the feasibility of using fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing (3DP) technology with hot melt extrusion (HME) and fluid bed coating to fabricate modified-release budesonide dosage forms. Budesonide was sucessfully loaded into polyvinyl alcohol filaments using HME. The filaments were engineered into capsule-shaped tablets (caplets) containing 9mg budeso...

FDM 3D Printing as an Innovative Technology for Fabricating Personalized Topical Drug Delivery Systems

Systems A. Goyanes, U. Det-Amornrat, J. Wang, A. Basit, S. Gaisford University College London Purpose 3D printing (3DP) technology offers the potential to revolutionize the future of pharmaceutical manufacturing, with the ability to fabricate structures of precise geometries from a 3D model. In fused-deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing a polymer filament is heated and extruded through a small...

Controllable porous polymer particles generated by electrospraying.

In this paper, an electrospraying technique was applied to prepare polycaprolactone (PCL) polymer particles with a different microstructure. The PCL particles can be controlled to have a porous microstructure by tailoring the evaporation of solvents during the electrospraying process. The effect of various concentrations on the morphology and microstructure of PCL particles was investigated. Th...
