Kinder-Hochschule: Auf der Spur von Medikamenten für die richtige Patientengruppe: Neues aus dem 3D-Druck.

A children's university event comes to Erbach with a question straight out of pharmaceutical research. How does a medicine reach the patients it is actually meant for? The newest part of the answer comes out of a 3D printer, and young visitors follow it step by step.

One dose rarely suits everyone, and that mismatch is the problem 3D printing takes on. A printer builds an object layer by layer, and researchers now print medicines the same way. That makes it possible to shape a tablet for the group that takes it. The picture that stays is a machine better known for plastic figures, printing a pill instead.
