Abstract: 3D printing is revolutionizing pharmaceutical manufacturing by enabling the creation of customized medications tailored to individual patient needs. Traditional drug production follows a mass-manufacturing approach, which may not adequately address the diverse physiological responses of patients, particularly those with unique medical conditions. 3D printing allows for precise dosage customization, controlled drug release, and the development of multi-drug tablets, improving therapeutic outcomes and patient adherence. Despite its promising advantages, challenges such as regulatory compliance, material selection, and scalability remain. This paper examines the benefits, applications, regulatory considerations, and future directions of 3D printing in pharmaceutical manufacturing, highlighting its transformative potential in personalized medicine. Keywords: 3D printing, personalized medicine, pharmaceutical manufacturing, customized dosage, drug delivery, regulatory challenges, bioavailability.
