1. A continuous manufacturing system for unloading and packaging pharmaceutical units from an additive manufacturing system, the system comprising:
a loading/unloading module for receiving the pharmaceutical units from the additive manufacturing system, wherein the pharmaceutical units are deposited on a post-printing film when received from the additive manufacturing system;
an inspection module for inspecting the pharmaceutical units; and
a control module for controlling the loading/unloading module and the inspection module, the controlling causing the loading/unloading module and the inspection module to separate the pharmaceutical units from the post-printing film,
wherein the loading/unloading module comprises:
a loading/unloading robot gripper tool module capable of being attached to or detached from a loading/unloading robot, using an automatic tool changer, wherein the loading/unloading robot gripper tool module comprises loading/unloading robot gripper tools for gripping the pharmaceutical units.
