Course objectives (in Czech)
3D printing is gaining attention as the manufacturing tool not only in the engineering industry but also in the field of pharmacy. This intensive course aims to introduce students to different types of 3D printing technologies (FDM, SLA, SSE) with respect to possible uses in pharmacy, mainly pharmaceutical technology. Each module comprises of theoretical base followed by practical preparation of selected drug dosage form and its evaluation.
