This Toaster-Size 3D Printer Can Make Drugs

The Vitae Industries AutoCompounder is a 2'x2'x2' 3D printer that makes pills and gummies for neighborhood pharmacists in a third of the time required to fill gel capsules by hand.

Sinanan-Singh and DeCiccio, high school friends from the Orlando area, began developing the AutoCompounder in 2014 after earning degrees in computer science and biomedical engineering from Harvard and Brown, respectively.
