3D printing is aiding an Israel-based company in the development and production of special selective-dose inhalers for medical marijuana and other medicinal plants.

Nano Dimension (Ness Ziona, Israel)—which makes 3D printers for printed circuit boards—announced today that it has leased a DragonFly 2020 3D printer to Syqe Medical (Tel Aviv, Israel).

Syqe boasts that it has created the world’s first selective-dose, pharmaceutical grade medical cannabis inhaler.  The pocket-sized Syqe inhaler includes selective 100 mg dosing precision. It also has realtime thermal and flow controllers, lung interfacing and wireless connectivity.
