• (c) micro-dispense the at least one ingredient into dose form.

A method for delivery of personalized medication or nutrition for an individual according to a treatment program, the method comprising:

• receiving parameters for the personalized medication at a 3D printer for a plurality of doses, wherein the parameters for each of the plurality of the doses comprise one or more ingredients and volumetric information for the one or more ingredients;
• mixing at least one of the ingredients at the 3D printer;
• and
• micro-dispensing the one or more of the ingredients into dose form at the 3D printer to form the plurality of doses for the treatment program;
• wherein the volumetric information for the one or more ingredients is different for different ones of the doses within the treatment program.
