The machine shops that make parts for fighter jets are run by 70-year-olds who are about to retire. When they close, that capability disappears. We are the replacement.
A precision aerospace part requires tolerances of thousandths of an inch. Our software can program a CNC machine to hit those tolerances without a human expert.
SpaceX needs 10x more precision parts than they can source. The bottleneck in space is not rockets — it is the supply chain that makes the rocket parts.
The US defense industrial base is a national security vulnerability. We cannot depend on aging machine shops to build the next generation of weapons systems.
I am Australian. I came to America because this is the only country where you can build a defense manufacturing startup from scratch and get funded by the best VCs in the world.
Traditional machine shops quote a part in 6 weeks. We quote in hours. Speed is a feature, not just a nice-to-have.
