Aprecia, acknowledged for the production of 3D printed drugs, partners with Apprentice.io to scale its manufacturing operations. Apprentice.io develops an AI-powered manufacturing platform that Aprecia will now use at its Ohio facility.
Apprentice’s cloud-native platform delivers intuitive digital manufacturing capabilities and no-code integration tools that provide flexibility, scalability, and connectivity appropriate for Aprecia’s manufacturing model. As Aprecia continues to grow, this platform will help them accelerate production workflows.
“I believe that Aprecia is the next generation of additive manufacturing,” said Angelo Stracquatanio, CEO & Co-founder of Apprentice.io. “They are at the absolute forefront of innovation in life sciences. Combined with our AI native approach to manufacturing, I am looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish in the future.”
As a reminder, Aprecia uses a proprietary ZipDose platform to produce drugs. Its 3D printing platform enables dosage forms that dissolve rapidly, or high dose loads, etc. When scaling from R&D / small scale to large (commercial) production, bottlenecks often occur in process reproducibility, operator training, equipment scheduling, etc. Apprentice.io come sinto play by helping optimize scheduling, resource allocation (labor, machine time, materials), and reduce downtime.
This collaboration underscores the need for AI scheduling agents to maximize throughput while maintaining quality in any AM production environment.
Aprecia’s deployment of Apprentice’s technology reflects a shared commitment for next level pharmaceutical manufacturing. The collaboration underscores the industry’s rapid evolution toward more sophisticated, data-driven manufacturing approaches that can adapt to and scale complex formulation requirements while maintaining the highest quality standards.
“Aprecia is leading the way in pharmaceutical 3D printing, driven by a commitment to transform patient care through innovation, said Kyle Smith, president and chief operating officer at Aprecia. Our partnership with Apprentice.io strengthens that mission, leveraging AI-powered solutions to scale precision drug delivery and redefine what’s possible in oral medication. We will continue to integrate cutting-edge technologies that keep us at the forefront and address the evolving needs of patients and caregivers.”
