Additive manufacturing technologies have been adopted by various industries in the past decades, but since the approval of the first 3D printed drug in 2015 by the US Food and Drug Administration, pharmaceutical research has shown ever growing interest in the subject as well. The 3D printing technologies adapted for pharmaceutical applications will be reviewed and important research results will be documented. The most significant advantages when using 3D printing technologies are the ability of creating highly personalised drug products and also the ability to easily alter the drug release characteristics. Medicine and pharmacy university curriculums should be updated with courses on 3D modelling software and 3D printing technologies, as these methods promise great progress for the future of healthcare. Rezumat Metodele de fabricație aditivă au fost adoptate în diferite industrii în ultimele decenii, însă de la aprobarea primului medicament tipărit 3D, în anul 2015, de către Food and Drug Administration în SUA, cercetarea farmaceutică a dezvoltat un interes tot mai accentuat pentru acest subiect. Tehnologiile de imprimare 3D, adaptate aplicațiilor farmaceutice, vor fi discutate în detaliu și vor fi documentate rezultatele importante obținute în acest domeniu. Principalele avantaje în utilizarea tehnologiilor de imprimare 3D sunt abilitatea de a crea produse farmaceutice înalt personalizate și, de asemenea, capacitatea de a modifica cu ușurință caracteristicile de eliberare ale substanței farmacologic active. În programele de învățământ ale universităților de medicină și farmacie ar trebui să fie adăugate cursuri de modelare 3D și de aprofundare a tehnologiilor de imprimare 3D, deoarece aceste metode promit progrese importante în domeniul medicinei personalizate.
