Personalizing the release profiles of drugs is important for different people with different medical and biological conditions. A technically simple and low‐cost method to fabricate fully customizable tablets that can deliver drugs with any type of release profile is described. The customization is intuitively straightforward: the desired profile can simply be “drawn” and printed by a 3D printer.
