Many 3DP methods have been developed for the formulation of drug delivery systems, including stereolithography, fused deposition modelling (FDM), selective laser sintering, and bioprinting through droplet- or extrusion-assisted techniques. Polymeric drug-loaded nanocapsules regulated the drug release profiles from 3D-printed tablets with faster drug release from 50% infill tablets. Also, incorporating nanomaterials/micro-ribbons significantly changed the mechanical and flow properties of polymers used in 3DP. For example, the addition of 1% w/w chitosan micro-ribbons to poly-vinyl alcohol powder improved filament mechanical properties for FDM 3DP in terms of flexibility and stiffness, with enhanced disintegration time of 3D-printed oral films. Berberine nanoparticles were integrated into a biodegradable and biocompatible 3D-printed pill, which facilitated sustained drug release and improved gastrointestinal absorption.
