Pharmaceutical Journal: "2D printing could revolutionize manufacturing"

At Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD), pharmacists are currently researching a method for the simple, rapid and precise production of low-dose medicinal products.

The individualized production of medicines for children is often associated with a great deal of effort in hospitals and pharmacies. Commercially available preparations usually have to be dosed down to a child-friendly level - an error-prone and time-consuming process.

"The method could revolutionize precise drug production for children."
