Roboze to expand distributed manufacturing capabilities after latest round of investment
Published:

Roboze is set to expand its distributed manufacturing infrastructure to support the production of complex aerospace, defence and energy components after receiving investment from Rule 1 Ventures and other investors.

The investment and subsequent upgrades will allow governments and industrial operators to produce critical components closer to the point of need, with Roboze set to enhance capabilities across the US, Europe and the Middle East.

Roboze’s offering will combine additive manufacturing hardware, materials science, software-driven process intelligence and embedded physical AI to deliver what it describes as a ‘reliable production of complex parts.’

The company is confident this infrastructure will address the long lead times, fragile logistics and limited production flexibility of existing aerospace, defence and energy supply chains. Its solution will be localised, on-demand manufacturing of mission-critical parts.

The ROBOZE Argo 500 HYPERSPEED solution was used to manufacture the critical component.

“We are proud to welcome Rule 1 Ventures and this exceptional group of investors to Roboze,” said Alessio Lorusso, Founder and CEO of Roboze. “Modern industrial resilience requires more than machines – it requires a complete manufacturing platform that combines hardware, materials science and intelligent software. Our mission is to build the infrastructure that allows critical industries to produce advanced components wherever they are needed.”

“Future readiness depends not only on advanced systems but also on the ability to sustain and produce them,” added James Winnefeld, Partner at Rule 1 Ventures. “Roboze is building industrial capability that will become increasingly critical to national security.”

Privcorp Ventures; Heather Podesta, founder and CEO of Invariant LLC; Gary Ang, former Temasek Operating Partner and Singaporean Air Force official; Tholus Capital; and the Ferrari Family Office have joined Rule 1 Ventures in investing in Roboze, as have several existing Roboze shareholders, such as Federico Faggin, inventor of the microprocessor, and Rialto Venture Capital.
