miniaturizer
Makes things tiny
A miniaturizer is a device or technology that reduces something to a smaller scale.
The term appears most often in science fiction, where miniaturizers shrink people or objects to microscopic size: The miniaturizer malfunctioned, leaving them trapped at half an inch tall.
In technical contexts, it may describe equipment or processes that make components smaller.
