Machina Labs wins AFRL and ARM Institute contract for automated airframe tooling
AFRL and the ARM Institute awarded Machina Labs a multiyear programme to add AI-driven tool-path generation for airframe skins and panels to deployable RoboCraftsman systems.
Evidence notes
- The programme applies machine learning to data generated across RoboCraftsman systems.
- Its initial scope is automated tool-path generation for airframe skins and panels.
- The work supports deployable production of sustainment parts closer to the point of need.
Company context
Machina Labs builds and operates software-defined factories for production-grade metal structures used in defence, aerospace and advanced mobility. Its RoboCraftsman cells combine seven-axis robotics, autonomous material handling and closed-loop AI controls to form, scan, trim, drill and increasingly join large sheet-metal parts without geometry-specific tooling. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles.
