Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a vector for unlocking value and is only just scratching the surface of what is possible. However, it is critical for the manufacturing industry to educate and provide pharmaceutical organisations with the knowledge to take processes forward. There is already so much expertise in the community around design, subsystems, logistics and supply chains, but information, dialogue and learnings need to be pushed forward to simply give individuals the tools to educate the workforce and think in the AM model.  

In this short article, Pharma IQ explores three ways to better utilise AM technology to innovate and commercialise medical devices, analysis what will the future of AM looks like, and how it may differ from the current landscape.
