title = "Vat Photopolymerisation Additive Manufacturing for Pharmaceutical Applications",
abstract = "Vat photopolymerisation three-dimensional (3D) printing is redefining manufacturing paradigms within the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. Marked by its superb printing resolution and speed, this technology provides an advanced method for engineering patient-centred drug products and devices. In the future, it is foreseen that the combination of 3D printing with other digital health technologies could in fact give rise to a new healthcare model, involving transitioning from current treatment pathways towards personalised digital therapies. This chapter outlines the various vat photopolymerisation techniques, illustrating their unique applications for the fabrication of medicines and drug-laden devices. This is followed by a brief overview of the challenges and drawbacks associated with this printing system in context of its use within healthcare.",
