  • Methods and systems for manufacturing a tablet
    Patent number: 10053798
    Abstract: Methods and systems for manufacturing a tablet are generally provided. Certain embodiments comprise electrodepositing (e.g., electrospinning) a material (e.g., the tablet material, for example, within a fluid) onto a substrate. The substrate can be, for example, an elongated rod. In some such embodiments, after material has been electrodeposited onto the substrate, a die comprising a cavity and the substrate can be moved relative to each other such that the electrodeposited material is at least partially stripped from the substrate and/or at least partially deposited into the cavity of the die. Some embodiments comprise compressing the material in the cavity to form a tablet.
