Description

Imola-Rebeka Turac and colleagues review how quality-by-design thinking and live process checks could make 3D-printed medicines safe to produce on demand. Printed doses can be tailored to each patient at the care site, but ready quality checks are missing.

Light-based tools, near-infrared and Raman scans, can check printed tablets without destroying them, the review finds. So far these tools mostly check finished products, not the printing process live as a full quality loop needs. Most scan models also work for just one recipe, printer, and drug, with little proof they transfer elsewhere. Turac notes regulators are drafting point-of-care rules, but standard quality demands remain the main barrier to routine use.
