Nowadays, 3D printing has become the focus of the world's competition. Strengthening the research and development of 3D printing frontier technology and promoting the practical application of 3D printing in many fields has become the consensus of all countries. Under the strong advocacy of countries all over the world, the innovative application mode of 3D printing has emerged, bringing a lot of new atmosphere to the development of medical and construction industries.

3D printing empowers medical products, small smart pills contain great energy
 
At present, the bio-pharmaceutical industry is a fast-growing industry for 3D printing, and 3D printing has gradually integrated into multiple sub-segment medical scenes. Specifically, 3D printing technology can provide a more complete and personalized solution for the medical bio-industry; bio-3D printing technology can promote the research of artificial living tissue and surface in the field of regenerative medicine; in particular, it is important that 3D printing is in the pharmaceutical industry. The field also has significant advantages, and the traditional pharmaceutical industry has undergone many new changes driven by 3D printing technology.
 
3D printing has many advantages in the pharmaceutical field
 
Generally speaking, people are more familiar with the application of 3D printing in the design and manufacture of surgical guides, prostheses, hearing aids and other rehabilitation medical devices, and the application of 3D printing in the pharmaceutical field is relatively unfamiliar. In fact, drugs are a very important part of the many links that affect the development of modern medicine. Faced with the individualized treatment needs of different patients, using modern technology to improve pharmaceutical levels and reduce pharmaceutical costs has become a major way for the traditional pharmaceutical industry to achieve intelligent paper upgrades.
 
At the moment of the rapid development of smart healthcare, patients are looking forward to the professional, personalized and accurate medical service model. In the pharmaceutical industry, the use of 3D printing cutting-edge technology and pharmaceutical equipment for research and development and pharmaceuticals have many advantages. For example, 3D printing enables localized detail control of multiple pharmaceutical materials and precise control of the composition of a drug. For children and the elderly, the scientific control of the dose of the drug helps to improve the safety of the drug.
 
At the same time, doctors or pharmacists can also set different drug doses for patients of different ages, genders and constitutions instead of the original bulk and the same dose of drugs. During different treatment cycles, the doctor can promote the recovery of the patient by increasing or decreasing the corresponding drug composition according to the actual situation of each patient. Among the many drugs in 3D printing, smart pills cannot be ignored.
 
3D printing smart pills promote full release of efficacy
 
In fact, 3D printed smart pills often have large differences in appearance and internal drug composition from common drugs. In general, smart pills are used to replace endoscopic testing. By containing sensors like “micro-cameras”, smart pills can spontaneously release drug components in a suitable location in the patient. This approach reduces the likelihood that a patient will become dependent on a drug and reduces the side effects that make the patient uncomfortable.
 
From the specific medication process, pharmaceutical personnel can adjust the pharmaceutical composition of 3D printed smart pills according to actual needs, in order to meet the treatment needs of patients with different diseases. In addition, in the process of developing new drugs, researchers at home and abroad are currently conducting 3D printing of “multiple pills”, which combines multiple active ingredients for different diseases into a single pill. In doing so, it can effectively prevent patients from being allergic to drugs due to taking multiple drugs at the same time.
 
At present, domestic and foreign companies such as Proteus Digital Health in Silicon Valley, Medmetrics in the Netherlands, CapsoVision in the US Capsule Colonoscopy Platform, and Jinshan Science and Technology in Chongqing have all accelerated the layout speed in the development of smart pills, hoping to make new progress in the development of smart pills. Making smart pill research activities more frequent.
 
It takes a certain amount of time for 3D printing smart pills to become popular.
 
On the whole, although many companies at home and abroad have devoted a lot of efforts in the development of smart pills, the current 3D printing smart pills manufacturing technology is not yet fully mature. The entire 3D printing smart pills are still in the early stage of scientific research and have not yet entered large-scale commercialization. period.
 
It is worth noting that with the continuous advancement of technology, digitalization and intelligentization of drugs will become a major trend in the development of modern medical technology. Benefiting from the development of the Internet of Things and sensor technology, digital pills will accelerate the transformation into reality and change the traditional medical testing, drug delivery and health management models from different levels.
 
At the same time, people's demands for modern medical quality are constantly increasing, and the demand for a variety of high-efficiency, low-side-effect smart pills and other drugs is increasing. According to Grand View Research, the global smart pill market is about 780 million U.S. dollars in 2016, and it is expected that this market will reach 3 billion U.S. dollars by 2025. Faced with rare business opportunities, many pharmaceutical companies will accelerate the pace of distribution in the corresponding fields and develop more effective drugs.
 
It is foreseeable that in the near future, we will be able to see various smart drugs and digital drugs appear on the market. These drugs will bring more gospel to human health and prompt patients to return to health as soon as possible.
