The theta-matrix compositor was a device aboard Federation starships in the 24th century, such as the Galaxy-class and the Intrepid-class.
It was used to recrystallize dilithium crystals while still in the articulation frame of a warp core. (TNG: "Family"; VOY: "Innocence") Dilithium recrystallization was first theorized and attempted by Captain Spock aboard a commandeered Klingon Bird-of-Prey in the 23rd century.
