Researchers continue to look for efficient ways to 3D print drugs that can be automatically dispersed within the body methodically and efficiently. Working together, teams from both the University of Minnesota and Washington University have created a new 3D printing method that allows for encapsulated chemicals to be released from 3D printed programmable shells that burst when irradiated properly by lasers. This 3D printing technique can be used feasibly as a biomolecular vehicle for releasing a number of other materials such as enzymes, growth factors, nucleic acids, and more. What makes this particular process more successful than others is the particular structure of the capsules, in combination with the precise control offered by the 3D printed method that causes the system to work.
