Manufacturing without Specialists

About

We’re an industrial tech startup building compact, AI-powered manufacturing machines that enable companies to establish in-house production - without the need for specialized staff. This unlocks true supply chain independence and accelerates R&D by bringing manufacturing capabilities directly to where innovation happens.

To achieve that, we’re rethinking machining technology from the ground up: simplifying setup and operation to the point where using our machines feels more like using a smartphone than a traditional industrial system. Hardware and software are seamlessly integrated to deliver a plug-and-produce experience.

We’ve just kicked off our seed round, with NBank Capital as our first committed investor. Our goal: bring our pre-series machine into production and have the first units running at customer sites in 2025.
