Efforts to create customised medicines using 3D printer-based technology are being developed in Glasgow. Researchers have used a £1,250 system to create a range of organic compounds and inorganic clusters - some of which are used to create cancer treatments.

 

Longer term, the scientists say the process could be used to make customised medicines. It is predicted that this technique will be used by pharmaceutical firms within five years, and by the public within 20.
