Effective and simple prediction model of drug release from “ghost tablets” fabricated using a digital light projection-type 3D printer

The application of 3D printing technology to pharmaceuticals is expanding, and 3D-printed drug formulations comprising various materials and excipients have been developed using different types of 3D printers. Here, we used a digital light processing-type 3D printer to fabricate poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA)-based “ghost tablets” that release entrapped drug but do not disintegrate. Three drugs with different aqueous solubilities were...
