What does a factory look like in space? If we are 50% right, it looks like a 3D printer. We’re proud to share that this statement no longer reflects the realm of dreams, but will soon support the realities of commercial space. 3dprint.com/315774/rosotic…

This week, @rosotics is excited to share several major changes imminent for us in order to stance ourselves as a serious contender in a new sector - including for the first time, our introduction as a space company which I am betting our endgame on. While a few articles will describe the bulk of it, I'll explain why - and I'd also like to refer to Pawel Slusarczyk's report on this for The 3DPJ, who understands this market better than anyone I know. In short, the winning formula for additive is not the market of parts or printers. It is in using additive to revert a market to its baseline physics. We plan to do this in much the same light that @CzingerVehicles did for automotive, and @relativityspace for launch, each stanced by metal 3D printing. In our case, we believe that the key to the industrialization of orbit, that is manufacturing systems that not only go up, but stay forever in orbit, relies on 3D printing. To this end we are reasserting our focus solely towards this mission, and have departed from our facilities in Mesa, AZ for Cape Canaveral, FL. In addition, as we transition through this stage and vertically integrate our platform for in-house production and spaceflight operations, we are exiting the markets of naval and maritime. We will instead equip each of our partners, as well as those adjacent to us in the space of metal additive, with the weight of our R&D - in order for them to deploy our architectures to the commercial markets under their own brand names. If you are interested in building in additive, or already have platforms in market, contact us and refer to our integration program, launching this week. rosotics.com/post/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 vessel (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 team at Siemens, as well as @3dprintindustry 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.

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, @payloadspace, @3dprintindustry, and @YahooNews - 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 @jamesncantrell 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. techcrunch.com/2024/07/23/ros…

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 @ctlrsa and team on the coverage and on the recent wins! techcrunch.com/2024/07/23/ros…

On July 17th, at 2:00 PT we will reveal our 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. Delivering August 26, 2024. link.medium.com/fccQe8ePZKb

Some mornings I wake up sad thinking about the world I feel we're inevitably leaving behind for our kids A heating planet, constant infighting, the erosion of our society, rising violence, precarity... Watching us slowly lose our place in the world And then I meet founders like @ctlrsa, and wake up energized by a different version of that future world. Where innovation helps us solve the biggest problems of our time, and helps our kids live an even better life than the one we've known We've got the solutions. Our most important job is to dream bright and give those solutions plenty of room to breathe

Can I just say I found the best co-founder in defense in Austin, and the finest team. We do not have the time to waste while our adversaries overseas continue to arm and automate, and conflicts continue to escalate. Our timeline for San Diego will chop to 1/2.

From the intense, unrelenting work of our materials team @rosotics towards an advanced project we initiated six months ago, 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 support, for remaining steadfast as we undertook this winter (annoying + patient as we are) the gamble of a decade. To name two, I'd like to thank @FANUCAmerica and @Siemens_Energy. We will have more to share shortly. Lastly as well, we look forward to expanding into our first CA offices this year in the @CityofSanDiego.

We're excited to share one of the largest announcements in our company's history. In line with our driving mission, of creating the finest, simplest way to build in heavy industry, we announce today the progression into mature development what was previously known as IDLE BLUE.
Christian LaRosa@ctlrsa

Today, @rosotics announces exclusively for #NYTechWeek 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.
