The advantage of low-temperature forming through direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing is becoming a strategy for the construction of innovative drug delivery systems(DDSs). Optimization of the complex formulation,including factors such as the printing ink, presence of solvents, and potential low mechanical strength, are challenges during process development. This study presents an application of DIW to fabricate water-soluble,high-dose, and sustained-release DDSs.Utilizing poorly compressible metformin hydrochloride as a model drug, a core-shell delivery system was developed, featuring a core composed of 96 % drug powder and 4 % binder, with a shell structure serving as a drug-release barrier. This design aligns with the sustained-release profile of traditional processes, achieving a 25.8 % reduction in volume and enhanced mechanical strength. The strategy facilitates sustained release of high-dose water-soluble formulations for over 12 h, potentially improving patient compliance by reducing formulation size.Process optimization and multi-batch flexibility were also explored in this study.Our findings provide a valuable reference for the development of innovative DDSs and 3D-printed drugs. #DIW #bioprinter

How do you add variable information to your pharma or cosmetic labels? HERMA Group has recently introduced a new film label specifically designed to allow the printing of variable information, date/lot codes, barcodes, etc., using a UV laser. https://lnkd.in/gKFFNN6i With no need for consumables such as ink or ribbons and no material being removed from the label, this is potentially a clean and efficient way to enhance your product coding. #labels #lasers #packaging  

Maximize Your Pharmaceutical Printing Quality with Precision Consistency is key to achieving high-quality tablet and capsule printing. Our Ink Viscosity System ensures precise, uniform prints by maintaining optimal ink conditions over time. · Consistent Ink, Superior Print Quality: By stabilizing ink viscosity, we are able to reduce variability, leading to cleaner prints and lower rejection rates. · Maximized Fill Rates: Ensuring carrier bars or links are properly filled with the help of air or agitation minimizes empty pockets, which could otherwise compromise print quality. · Enhanced Efficiency: With better fill rates and controlled ink, production runs are smoother and prevent fewer defective tablets and capsules. Take control of environmental variables like humidity with our closed-unit system, designed to maintain peak printing performance.

We have always been at the forefront of tablet and capsule printing—starting in 1949 with the first-ever tablet printer. Now, we’re taking another leap forward. 💡 Introducing the Ink Viscosity System, designed to revolutionize printing precision and efficiency. This cutting-edge solution tackles common challenges like ink drying and viscosity fluctuations by continuously mixing and recirculating ink, all while maintaining precise control. The result? Enhanced print quality, less waste, and longer production runs. Key Benefits: -Sharper Print Quality: Consistent viscosity means clearer logos and text. -Extended Production: Keep the lines running longer without sacrificing quality. -Reduced Waste: Efficient ink management minimizes waste and saves costs. -Adaptable Performance: Temperature adjustability ensures peak performance in any environment. -Real-Time Monitoring: Automated adjustments give you complete process control. As the name that started it all in pharmaceutical printing, we’re proud to introduce the future of ink viscosity control. Get in touch to learn more about this system: https://lnkd.in/eG_YVwBr

A RESIN FOR EVERY APPLICATION! LMT just published an Exclusive 3D Printing Survey Report in their June/July 2024 issue. On the cover is a graph of the top 10 most popular printing applications, by percentage of labs using 3D printing, and I thought it might be a very interesting exercise to match each of these applications with one of our Pro3dure printodent resins. Here you go: 1) Models for C&B: 76% => GR-13 model resin 2) Study models: 70% => GR-13 model 3) Nightguards/splints: 54% => GR-22 flex resin 4) Models for removable prosthetics: 40% => GR-13.3 model release 5) Surgical guides: 40% => GR-10 guide 6) Temporary C&B: 38% => GR-17.1 temporary LT 7) Models for clear aligners: => 34% => GR-13 and/or GR-13.3 model release 8) C&B waxups: 34% => GR-12 cast 9) Gingival masks: 31% => GR-15 gingiva 10) Custom impression trays: 30% => GR-11 tray For these top 10 applications and even more click here: https://lnkd.in/e3db_xy9 SAVE & GROW with Gro3X!

Printing ● What is Printing Processing? Medical tubing printing encompasses a variety of methods for inscribing or marking on the shaft of the tubing. In particular, catheter devices may require custom printing along the length or around the circumference of the tubing. These markings may take the form of lines, blocks, numbers, letters, or a combination thereof. The ability to print on medical tubing allows for the customization and personalization of devices and can assist in the identification and differentiation of various catheter types. Markings can also serve as visual aids for clinicians during medical procedures, improving accuracy and reducing the risk of complications.   ● What are optional materials available for medical catheter Printing? Processing materials are, for example, polyvinylchloride (PVC), polypropylene(PP), polyurethane(PU), polycarbonate(PC), Nylon/PEBAX, and other thermoplastics materials, braided catheter. The Printing service is commonly used for CVC, Dialysis Catheters, Intravascular Catheters, Hub, Ureteral stent, Luer, etc.   ● What features does CUUMed Printing Tubing have? CUUMed's catheter printing service is precisely controlled by intolerance +/- 0.5 mm. It can be applied on 4-30 French(1.3 - 10 mm) single- and multi-lumen medical catheter mark and scale printing. Also, there are up to two colors for customers to choose from. We also provide 360° rotational printing.
