- This paper offers a way to advance personalized medicine with an ink jet 3D printing technique, exploiting design freedoms inherent in this technique to improve the delivery of drugs. The paper has inspired several research papers, an example of which can be seen in Liang et al. (2018) who developed a wearable oral delivery device using a different 3D printing technique. The paper also features an efficient analytical approach for predicting the dissolution profile of drugs within complex geometry, thereby creating a platform to optimize and adapt such a profile to a patient prior to the use of the drug.
