AbstractThis study demonstrated the first case of combining novel continuous granulation with powder-based pharmaceutical 3-dimensional (3D) printing processes to enhance the dissolution rate and physical properties of a poorly water-soluble drug. Powder bed fusion (PBF) and binder jetting 3D printing processes have gained much attention in pharmaceutical dosage form manufacturing in recent times. Although powder bed-based 3D printing platforms have been known to face printing and uniformity problems due to the inherent poor flow properties of the pharmaceutical physical mixtures (feedstock). Moreover, techniques such as binder jetting currently do not provide any solubility benefits to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with poor aqueous solubility (>40% of marketed drugs). For this study, a hot-melt extrusion-based versatile granulation process equipped with UV-Vis process analytical technology (PAT) tools for the in-line monitoring of critical quality attributes (i.e., solid-state) of indomethacin was developed. The collected granules with enhanced flow properties were mixed with vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer and a conductive excipient for efficient sintering. These mixtures were further characterized for their bulk properties observing an excellent flow and later subjected to a PBF-3D printing process. The physical mixtures, processed granules, and printed tablets were characterized using conventional as well as advanced solid-state characterization. These characterizations revealed the amorphous nature of the drug in the processed granules and printed tablets. Further, the in vitro release testing of the tablets with produced granules as a reference standard depicted a notable solubility advantage (100% drug released in 5 minutes at >pH 6.8) over the pure drug and the physical mixture. Our developed system known as DosePlus combines innovative continuous granulation and PBF-3D printing process which can potentially improve the physical properties of the bulk drug and formulations in comparison to when used in isolation. This process can further find application in continuous manufacturing of granules and additive manufacturing of pharmaceuticals to produce dosage forms with excellent uniformity and solubility advantage.Abstract Figure

In this work, different materials for three-dimensional (3D)-printing were studied, which based on polycaprolactone with two natural additives, gum rosin, and beeswax. During the 3D-printing process, the bed and extrusion temperatures of each formulation were established. After, the obtained materials were characterized by mechanical, thermal, and structural properties. The results showed that the formulation with containing polycaprolactone with a mixture of gum rosin and beeswax as additive behaved better during the 3D-printing process. Moreover, the miscibility and compatibility between the additives and the matrix were concluded through the thermal assessment. The mechanical characterization established that the addition of the mixture of gum rosin and beeswax provides greater tensile strength than those additives separately, facilitating 3D-printing. In contrast, the addition of beeswax increased the ductility of the material, which makes the 3D-printing processing difficult. Despite the fact that both natural additives had a plasticizing effect, the formulations containing gum rosin showed greater elongation at break. Finally, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy assessment deduced that polycaprolactone interacts with the functional groups of the additives.

3D printing technology has gradually taken its place in many sectors. However, expected performance cannot be obtained from the structural parts with this method due to the raw material properties and constraints of Cartesian motion systems. This technology cannot replace structural parts produced by traditional manufacturing methods. In order to avoid these constraints, it is preferred to use continuous fiber reinforced polymer composites in many areas such as automotive and aerospace industries due to their low weight and high specific strength properties. These automated composite manufacturing methods currently have limited production of geometric shapes due to the need for additional molds and production as flat surfaces. To overcome all these constraints, fiberglass reinforced ultraviolet ray-curing polymer matrix composite material are selected for robotic 3 D printing process and various parameters are examined. Fiber-polymer combination and layer structure formation was examined. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images of sections of 3 D printed test samples were taken and fiber resin curing was examined. The nozzle diameter, printing speed, fiber density and Ultra Violet (UV) light intensity parameters, which will provide effective 3 D printing process, are optimized with the Taguchi method. Tensile strength, flexural strength and izod impact values are considered as result parameters for optimization. It was found that it would be appropriate for 3D printing with a 1.0 mm nozzle diameter, 600 tex fiber density, 4 UV light, 600 mm/min printing speed. With these 3D printing process parameters, approximately 125 MPa tensile strength and 450 MPa flexural strength can be obtained. With this study, support and contribution was provided to researchers, composite producers, tool manufacturer and literature who want to use and develop this 3D printing process.

Printing Processes

The extension of 3D printing processes for parts made of polymeric materials highlighted the possibility of manufacturing threaded surfaces through such processes. In principle, the operation of a threaded joint involves tensile forces in the threaded rod. The dimensional characteristics of the threaded surface and some input factors in the 3D printing process can influence the tensile strength of threaded rods made of polymeric materials. An experimental research aimed at the tensile behavior of a threaded joint was designed, using a plastic screw and a special steel nut. A factorial experiment was designed and implemented to identify an empirical mathematical model capable of highlighting the influence of the dimensional characteristics of the threaded surface and some of the input factors in the 3D printing process on tensile strength. The test samples from polymeric materials were manufactured by 3D printing, then subjected to tensile tests. The mathematical processing of the experimental results allowed the determination of a mathematical model that allows the inclusion of the ordering of the factors taken into account in terms of the intensity of the influence that these factors exert on the tensile strength of the threaded rods. It was found that the diameter of the threaded rod exerts the strongest influence on the tensile strength of the threaded rod obtained by 3D printing, increasing the diameter of the threaded rod causing an increase in the maximum deformation of the rod. Increasing the thread pitch leads to a decrease in the maximum deformation of the threaded rod.
