1. A method for delivery of personalized medication or nutrition for an individual, the method comprising:
receiving parameters for the personalized medication at a 3D printer, wherein the parameters comprise a plurality of ingredients, wherein the parameters vary concentrations of one or more of the plurality of ingredients in different layers to assist in promoting time release, wherein the 3D printer comprises a plurality of micro-dispensers with each of the plurality of micro-dispensers having a mixer;
mixing at least one of the plurality of ingredients at the mixer of each of one or more of the micro-dispensers of the 3D printer to obtain the varying concentrations of the one or more of the plurality of ingredients specified by the parameters for each of the different layers; and
micro-dispensing the plurality of the ingredients from the one or more micro-dispensers of the 3D printer in the different layers into dose form such that the different layers have varying concentrations of the one or more of the plurality of ingredients as specified by the parameters for each of the different layers.
