Scientists at the University of Glasgow have developed a method of 3D printing that can be used to make drugs and chemicals . Their chemical reaction ##ware uses common compounds and the team used it to create a muscle relaxant and an anti - convulsant , and said it could detect drugs in remote areas and reduce the dangers to organic chemists from working with dangerous chemicals when creating new chemicals . They also suggested developing regulated methods to prevent criminals 3D using fake or illegal drugs into the interconnected reaction vessels .
