Rosotics

Today, hot off the heels of yesterday's announcement in aerospace - we are thrilled to share one more massive win for the naval and maritime sector. Earlier this month, Rosotics and Siemens inked a partnership to develop and bring operational a next-generation, super-heavyweight class platform to revolutionize the naval manufacturing industry in the United States and Europe. Designed to undertake the most challenging production effort ever yet attempted in naval engineering, the platform will be supported by Sinumerik One, known for its unparalleled precision and efficiency. As a key highlight of the partnership, a direct result of this combined effort will be a significant milestone for all realms of manufacturing, and involve the direct production by Rosotics of a new private-sector vessel class at surface as well as an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) class for naval application. The super-heavyweight platform, at a 25m scale capability, will carry the Mjolnir print architecture (currently deployed on our Halo commercial platforms) and will be located near San Diego. We appreciate Jeremy and the phenomenal team at Siemens, as well as 3D Printing Industry for breaking the news this week. "Siemens is excited to join forces with Rosotics in this groundbreaking endeavor", described Siemens. "The integration of Sinumerik One with Rosotics' advanced manufacturing system for this effort will create a platform of immense significance, capable of addressing the most complex production challenges in the naval industry." As for my quote - this partnership underscores a mutual dedication to sustainable manufacturing and their demonstrated heritage in renewable energy. This speaks volumes to us; we each carry optimism.

The space race is back on, America is leading, and Rosotics is the tip of the spear 🇺🇸 If space launch, earth-return, and space manufacturing capabilities are all taking big leaps forward, it's only natural for in-space logistics to follow 🚀 Rather than shipping that infra up to space, what if we printed it up there? 👨🚀 That's what these guys are building - fully automated large scale 3D printing capable of not just printing the rockets they are focused on today, but just about anything else usually thought as too big to print 🤖 Metal printing on a large scale is hard because as one part gets hot printed, the other part is cooled. These guys are figuring this out. Today they've proved it out on earth. Tomorrow, they will do it up there, in space 🌗 Congrats Christian LaRosa and team on the coverage and on the recent wins! Glad to play a small role in turning your vision into reality! https://lnkd.in/ef6AR4Ze

Christian LaRosa & Rosotics are in TechCrunch today unveiling their big plans. I have loved working with them as a Seedscout Alpha portfolio company over the past several years and seeing what the’ve accomplished in such a short time. And they are just getting started!

Here's a post I've literally waited four years to talk about. Following the launch of our Halo platform last week, I sat down exclusively for TechCrunch to share ... one more detail. Halo, delivering at a sub-$1M price point, is the largest commercial metal 3D printer on the market and exemplifies total energy-efficiency at every level. This is due to Mjolnir, the process that powers it, and we exist today as the only to deliver an induction-based printer to market. We are grateful for the extensive coverage within the United States last week from SpaceNews, 3DPrint.com, VoxelMatters, Payload, 3D Printing Industry, and Yahoo News - as well as that internationally, which we have read in Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Greece, the Czech Republic, Australia, and (yes, even) Russia. I am grateful to Jim Cantrell and additive historian Pawel Slusarczyk for their continued support, and that of our partners, supply chain, and customers. We will be a customer of this platform right alongside them. A closely-guarded secret Austin and I preserved in totality, since 2020 we have been in active development of the 'R2' spacecraft and its carrier vessel, a 5m-DIA mothership which will be launched on a SpaceX Starship launch vehicle for the construction of heavy infrastructure in the orbital regime. Serviced by rendezvous in parking orbit near LEO by smaller launch providers, the mothership will be capable of orbital transfer to and from the L-5 lagrange point, where the R2 will construct a persistent orbital shipyard - intended as a staging point for interplanetary transit. The stability and effective potential of L-5, advocated originally by O'Neill in 1974, we consider essential. We will operate these missions from a dedicated site to be established this year in Boulder, CO, at which we will install over a dozen unmodified Halo printers. We anticipate integrated spacecraft testing in TVac between 12-18 months and are in mission planning for NET June 2026. Go Halo, Go R2, Go Reaper.

On July 17th, at 2:00 PT Rosotics will reveal its first supercreator, known by those close to us as Halo. The equivalent of an all-encompassing industrial engineer + fabricator in every factory, it is US built for dual-use. Initial units will be placed in the aerospace, naval, and energy sectors to remove humans from the most dangerous areas of work in manufacturing environments while stancing new capabilities. Delivering August 26, 2024.

From the intense, unrelenting work of our materials team at Rosotics towards an advanced project we initiated this past winter, there is a profound update imminent for the industry of additive manufacturing. While we make preparations for this update, I would like you to know the name of something new - ION. We understand this name will mark a dividing line between what most of us use today, and all that will follow. It will call a system we have not yet shown its host, that you will be able to meet very soon. For now, I would like to thank our partners, suppliers, vendors, and government supporters, for remaining steadfast as we undertook this winter (annoying + patient as we are) the gamble of a decade. To name a few, I'd like to thank Dean, Shea, and Brian of Plug and Play Tech Center, the City of Mesa and Falcon Field Airport, Nathan of JagCo, FANUC America Corporation and Siemens. We will have more to share shortly. Lastly as well, we look forward to expanding into our first CA offices this year in The City of San Diego!

Had a great time filming with Christian LaRosa and Austin Thurman. We talked about Rosotics, their view on operating a business, and general thoughts on the direction of technology! It’s my first time hosting a podcast — especially of this content. I thought it would be great to highlight their story.

Today, Rosotics announces exclusively for New York Tech Week the completion of initial studies for the large-scale additive manufacture of HY-class alloy steel structures, developed for use in demanding naval and marine environments. Building upon our heritage in depositing with high-performance aerospace materials, pioneered by the induction-based M1 Printer, we will coordinate with additional partners in the naval sector to further advance these capabilities to operational deployment by 2025. The low-alloy steel of HY-80, used for the production of submarine hulls, has remained entirely outside of the scope of additive manufacturing since the inception of our industry. Utilizing M1, we will produce from HY-80 the largest additively manufactured metal structures in the history of 3D printing, to face open-water deep submergence testing in the Pacific for US Navy analysis and study. This endeavor, IDLE BLUE, is underscored by the necessity of access to innovation, particularly that 3D Printing must be made viable for heavy industry as well, in order to lead in mutual defense, opportunity, and capability.

Can confirm this isn’t CGI.
