Customised solutions for specific requirements - from cleanrooms to syringe handling

Additive manufacturing is increasingly establishing itself as a key technology in the pharmaceutical industry by enabling individualized and precise solutions for demanding production processes. This presentation will highlight specific use cases, including the development of assembly fixtures for cleanrooms, cut protection systems for HSE applications and high-precision systems for syringe handling in series production. The special challenges of the pharmaceutical industry are addressed, such as compliance with cleanroom classes up to ISO Class 1, material requirements such as
sterilizability, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and regulatory certifications (e.g. FDA). Another focus is on the need for smooth surfaces to prevent microbial contamination and on the extensive validation and approval of processes by authorities.
Technologies such as 3D scanning and reverse engineering enable the rapid availability of spare parts and the production of complex free-form shapes. In addition, the use of 316L stainless steel for chemical-resistant and minimally abrasive applications will be discussed. The presentation will highlight the potential of additive manufacturing to sustainably improve efficiency, safety and innovation in pharmaceutical production processes.
