“We aim to operationalize and scale solutions with speed and effectiveness so the U.S. and our allies can stay ahead of emerging threats,” Chris Moran, vp and common supervisor of Lockheed Martin Ventures, stated in a launch. “We are excited to work with Machina Labs in bringing their advanced and agile manufacturing platform to our customers.”
Machina Labs’ robots use an array of AI-driven sensors to collect knowledge and manipulate sheet metallic to kind elements. For every unit the corporate makes, it creates a digital twin with all related course of data. This offers correct course of characterization and half qualification data.
The firm creates metallic elements for the automotive, aerospace, protection, heavy equipment, electrical and structure industries.
