Every compounding lab chases the same three goals: accuracy, consistency, and efficiency. At Forest Heights Pharmacy in Georgia, Ben Ross felt his team was constantly balancing all three — until a Curify 3D printer arrived in October 2025 and changed the math entirely.
From learning curve to full speed
The team gave itself about 60 days to get comfortable with the printer. Once they did, the numbers spoke for themselves.
“Once we got comfortable with it, man, we can pump out 160 troches in less than 30 minutes — it’s just really opened the doors for us to do so much more.” — Ben Ross
Every product is now, in Ben’s words, “super accurate and consistent” — and removing the printer today would “certainly slow our compounding lab down.” There’s a benefit he values just as much as speed: safety. Because the printer handles the production, his employees spend far less time face-to-face with chemicals and raw ingredients. “Anytime we can separate them — I love that aspect of it.”
The surprise: a marketing engine
Ben expected better consistency, accuracy, and safety. What he didn’t expect was what the printer would do for the pharmacy’s reputation.
“We have really set ourselves apart as innovators because of this technology. We have doctors that want to come see it, patients that are excited about it. We’ve just been blown away at what an incredible marketing tool it’s been for us.” — Ben Ross
Nine months in, Forest Heights isn’t just compounding faster — it has become the pharmacy that doctors visit to see the future of compounding for themselves.
