Machina Labs receives funding to revolutionize AI-driven manufacturing

Machina Labs combines AI and robotics to rapidly manufacture advanced composite and metal products. Factories no longer need to be tied to specific products but can now be configured via software to power on-demand manufacturing and unlock innovation. Machina Labs combines the latest advances in AI and robotics to deliver finished metal products in days — not months or years — and gives customers unprecedented time to market and competitive advantage.

The company recently announced that it has closed a Series B investment in the amount of $32 million. The round was co-led by new investor NVentures, NVIDIA’s venture capital arm, and existing investor Innovation Endeavors, with contributions from existing and other new investors. This latest funding brings the total raised by Machina Labs to $45 million. The investment will be used to meet accelerating customer demand, further intensify research initiatives, and continue delivering innovative solutions.

“With this support, we are poised to develop the next generation of manufacturing floors — ones that can easily remake production with no hardware or tooling changes, but only requiring software modification,” said Edward Mehr, CEO and co-founder of Machina Labs.

Machina Labs uses robots the way a blacksmith uses a hammer to creatively manufacture different designs and materials, introducing unprecedented flexibility and agility to the manufacturing industry. With Machina, great ideas can quickly and affordably become reality, and businesses can benefit from rapid iteration to bring more innovative products to market faster.

Robotic sheet forming is the first process enabled by Machina’s patented manufacturing platform. Using material- and geometry-agnostic technology, the platform outperforms traditional sheet-forming methods that rely on custom molds or dies.
