Machina Labs

Machina Labs builds and operates intelligent, software-defined factories that use AI-guided robotics to transform digital designs into complex metal structures without the need for dedicated tooling. The company's RoboCraftsman platform enables robotic metal forming and assembly directly from CAD files, eliminating the months-long tooling process traditionally required for sheet metal manufacturing. This allows rapid design iteration, prototyping, and production at speeds that match program demands. Machina Labs serves four primary application areas: automotive (enabling mass customization of production-grade body panels without tooling), airframes (delivering Airframe-as-a-Service through deployable, portable factories for military aircraft sustainment), missiles and hypersonics (forming thin-walled, high-temperature alloys for defense systems with rapid qualification cycles), and emerging applications including naval structures, energy systems, and immersive design projects. The company differentiates itself through its tool-less manufacturing approach, elastic factory model that can be deployed on-site, and team drawn from SpaceX, Relativity, Carbon3D, and Novelis. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Machina Labs has raised approximately $222.6 million in a Series C round backed by Lockheed Martin, Innovation Endeavors, NVentures, Congruent Ventures, Embark Ventures, Woven Capital, Balerion Space Ventures, SDF, and Yamaha Motor Ventures.
