3D Printing– Our innovative approach to how medications are manufactured, prescribed and consumed
Stereolithography (SLA): Perfect for crafting porous, fast-dissolving tablets with high precision.
Description: A vat polymerization process where an Ultra-violet light source cures liquid resin layer by layer.
This process creates high resolution in the finished texture.
At Interact Engineering, good success is being obtained from Elegoo’s Jupiter 6K SE in producing engineering prototypes.
BENEFITS

- Wide range of materials
- Easy to use
- Quick prints
APPLICATIONS
- Rapid Prototyping
- Concept Modeling
- Rapid Tooling
- Models and Props
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM): Ideal for creating layered, complex drug structures for precise control over release mechanisms.
Description: A process where a drug-loaded filament is extruded through a heated nozzle to create a layered structure.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS): Fusing small particles of powder into a mass controlled by a digitally-produced 3D shape.
Selective laser sintering is an additive manufacturing (AM) technology. The laser selectively fuses powdered material by scanning cross-sections generated from a 3-D digital description of the part (for example from a CAD file or scan data) on the surface of a powder bed.
BENEFITS
- Excellent mechanical properties
- Great accuracy and print quality
- Cost-efficient for large production runs
- Production-ready
APPLICATIONS
- End-use parts
- Short-run, bridge, or custom manufacturing
- Functional prototyping
- Long-lasting, durable manufacturing aids
- Medical devices, prosthetics.
