He says: "a lot of CAD is just looking stuff up". This is why we at Volition created the largest catalog in the world (>40x McMaster) with all the specs, data sheets, CAD, etc. The idea is to ultimately automate all of the busy work as a powerful engineering tool.

I want to build a US manufacturing industrial center. "Every manufacturing service inside a square mile." But not ordinary manufacturing services. They must be tech-enabled and optimized for rapid-response, high-mix low volume at scale. They must also interoperate efficiently.

funding for new bell labs just dropped

Ok no longer a joke. Looking in. Confirmed support from 7 of America’s largest mfg GMs, countless factories, Sr. Techs, Sr. Engs… & University deans lol Unlimited access to America’s largest Aerospace R&D factory, >1000 total machines Open X funds Ep 1. Any requests?

OSH Cut can bootstrap this US manufacturing center, but I only have maybe 25 years of career left.

Incredible to see a political leader translate how a new technology can promote human flourishing with such clarity. Exceptional speech.

Humanoids, drones, quantum chips- the US is showing signs of renaissance, but who will work the factories of this New Industrial Age? Thanks to Arena Magazine I had an opportunity to explain how we're tackling this problem @Itemfarm in 3 states now, & soon the whole country. 1/

Today, I’m excited to launch the Advanced Manufacturing Company of America. We've raised $76M in initial funding from Caffeinated Capital, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, a16z, and others. The best time to build this business is right now, but the real work began decades ago.

Jai is great, excited about this!

Super excited to share that Base Power raised a $200M Series B to fuel our next phase of growth; in particular, our first factory to support the US power grid with distributed energy technology. We couldn’t be more thankful to bring in new partners around the table: Addition,

Nice

If you are a drone company using batteries made in China, we can fix that! DM me!

The diamond drill rig for mineral exploration was first tested in Minnesota in 1890 and hasn't seen a fundamental innovation since 1953. We @durinmining built a remotely operable drill rig in 4 months. Our next version will be autonomous. Testing begins in Nevada next week.

Space superiority is a top priority for the U.S. and its allies. True Anomaly is answering the call. Today we’re thrilled to announce the close of our $260M fundraise, unlocking our next phase of growth and accelerating product development and implementation. Read more here:

We have three big Pipedream Labs announcements today. The 3rd is the most ambitious project we've ever attempted. Here’s a quick summary thread:

Perfect storm happening for drone manufacturers in the US: 1. Export restrictions (read: all but a ban) on batteries >300 Wh/kg + retaliatory tariffs 2. Amprius contract manufacturing all in China. Molicel Taiwan factory completely offline for 2 years, Vancouver P60B factory

We've raised our $11M seed to build autonomous cargo planes at Poseidon Aerospace. We are building the future of air freight with unmanned platforms, designed from the ground up to move cargo significantly cheaper and faster. Led by Tamarack Global with participation from
