Although 3D printing (3DP) has long been an integral part of industries such as aviation and automotive, its use in healthcare, especially the pharmaceutical industry, is relatively new and currently receiving close attention. Due to the rapid development of this field, it is necessary to summarize the latest development in this field after two years. In this article, we reviewed the three major areas in pharmaceutical application. The 3DP could support formulation development because it can produce rapid product iterations for testing, such as excipient compatibility and drug release.
