Hey,
I also work in the pharmaceutical industry but I try to keep my self up to date with 3D printing for regenerative medicine along with BioMEMS. These two trends are huge and I personally think really are the future. BioMEMs is being used for therapies right now and being looked into for mini organs for diagnostic, testing and hopefully replacement. With advancement such as lab-on-a-chip then organs-on-a-chip, this will be done in no time. I am a huge advocate of 3D printing of artificial organs, the progress that researchers have been making are astronomical. Once the problem of integrating blood vessels gets solved there is no telling what 3D printing, won’t do.
