Case Study: University of Greenwich achieves personalized pharmaceutical tablet production with Sinterit LISA

University of Greenwich - Customer Case Study

Prof. Dennis Douroumis at the University of Greenwich’s Centre for Innovation and Process Engineering Research (CIPER) required a 3D printing technology capable of processing their own drug and polymer powders to create personalized dosage forms. The challenge was to find a solution that did not depend on pre-made filaments and could handle a wide range of thermally stable drug substances with high accuracy for pharmaceutical research and prototyping.

Sinterit provided its LISA 3D printer, which allowed the university to print tablets with complex geometries and controlled drug release profiles. The solution was cost-effective, reduced processing steps, and enabled the printing of multiple tablets with varying drug strengths in a single batch for personalized medicine. The University of Greenwich was able to go from purchase to producing their designed structures within one month, leveraging the open parameters to process their own materials and the simple post-processing to create clean, final products.
