The primary objective is to manufacture complex, customized products using a cost-effective, on-demand manufacturing process. In the past decade, 3D printing has gained the interest of several research groups for the development of various drug delivery systems.  Advantages of 3D printing technologies over traditional manufacturing procedures include the modification of pharmaceuticals with customized dosages, the capability to produce complex solid dosage forms, on-demand manufacturing, and cost efficiency. Nonetheless, although 3D printing technology has several potential medical and economic advantages, some technological and regulatory obstacles limit its wide application in pharmaceutical products. Thus, further innovation and refinement in 3D printing processes must address existing limitations and provide patient-specific healthcare with customized drugs on demand. This review presents several 3D printing processes useful for pharmaceutical manufacturing, their application in the development of various dosage forms, and the treatment of various disorders, demonstrating the potential of this technology for regular commercial production. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol18marchspledition/overview-of-3d-printing-technology-with-pharmaceutical-applications-challenges-and-future-aspects/ Customized dosage Commercial production Delivery systems Economic advantages Potential applications
