3D-Printed Products for Topical Skin Applications: From Personalized Dressings to Drug Delivery

3D printing has been widely used for the personalization of therapies and on-demand production of complex pharmaceutical forms. Recently, 3D printing has been explored as a tool for the development of topical dosage forms and wound dressings. Thus, this review aims to present advances related to the...
