The UCL School of Pharmacy and FabRx Ltd researchers are back, once again pitting FDM and SLA 3D printing against one another to see which is more effective, as well as offering a streamlined, high tech new way to get rid of acne quickly. Quickly finding SLA 3D printing to be the best route (again), the researchers were able to find a new method for administering salicylic acid topically. Using a 3D scanner, for the purposes of the study they obtained a scan of a patient’s nose and then made a 3D print, ultimately creating a partial face mask that would hold the salicylic acid and load it topically. This allows for a quick, affordable way to treat patients with acne effectively—and perhaps in the future letting physicians print the customized anti-acne masks right in the office.
