Software-defined factories for metal structure manufacturing
Machina Labs operates robotic manufacturing systems for metal structures in defense and aerospace, built on a modern stack of CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360), robotics platforms (Fanuc, Kuka, ROS 2), and cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS). The company is engineering-heavy with accelerating hiring velocity, focused on automating sheet metal forming, tool path generation, and production scheduling — directly addressing the core pain point of slow, expensive low-volume manufacturing that dominates traditional shops.

Machina Labs manufactures complex metal structures for defense, aerospace, and mobility customers using integrated robotic systems that combine forming, welding, assembly, and finishing in a single production environment. Founded in 2019 and based in Los Angeles, the company employs 51–200 people across engineering, manufacturing operations, and support functions. Their software-defined factory model is designed to eliminate tooling bottlenecks and reduce time-to-production, enabling customers to move from prototype to full production significantly faster than traditional supply chains allow.
Machina uses robotic platforms (Fanac, Kuka, ROS 2), CAD software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino), control systems (Beckhoff TwinCAT), and cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS). Engineering tools include Python, C++, React, and TypeScript for software integration.
Core projects include robotic sheet metal forming, tool path generation, master production scheduling across work centers, and manufacturing solutions for defense platforms. The company is also focused on scaling production capability and reducing quality risks in metal fabrication.
