Machina Labs

One month to go. We’re heading to Bentonville, Arkansas, to show the world what comes next: One factory. Built for mobility. 🦾 The next phase of Machina Labs begins at UP.Summit on 9.28.2025. UP.Partners #MachinaLabs #UPSummit2025

Can American industry move fast enough to matter? In a new piece for War on the Rocks, our own John Borrego, SVP of Aerospace & Defense at Machina Labs, explores the hard truth behind the Golden Dome missile defense initiative: Bold strategy isn’t enough – it has to be matched by industrial capability. “The gap between defense policy and industrial readiness is no longer a future risk – it’s a present liability.” At Machina Labs, we’re helping close that gap with software-defined, AI-enabled manufacturing platforms that are faster, more flexible, and ready to deploy. 📰 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eZDFdZPD John Borrego is SVP of Aerospace & Defense at #MachinaLabs. He previously held leadership roles at Northrop Grumman, SpaceX, Rocketdyne, and Los Alamos National Laboratory, with deep expertise in advanced manufacturing for defense and aerospace.

In the last edition of Machina Construct, we promised to reveal what’s next for Machina Labs at Up.Summit 2025 – a gathering of bold thinkers reimagining the future of transportation and mobility. We’re now 41 days away, and as we count down, we’ll share some of our favorite moments from the last 5 years at Machina Labs. Milestones that show how RoboForming and software-defined manufacturing are reshaping what’s possible. From forming the Anvil truck to deploying portable factories, we’re not just imagining the future ... We are building it. 🦾 #UpSummit #MachinaLabs #RoboCraftsman

🔥 “Factories should adapt as fast as the world changes. Our mission is to give innovators the freedom to design without waiting for the factory to catch up.” ~ Edward Mehr

The future is custom!

Bigger platform. Thicker metal. Missiles. All inside this edition of Machina Construct ⤵️ 🤖 Air Force highlights a flexible, portable RoboCraftsman 🏭 Policy momentum for defense sustainment and reindustrialization 🦾 RoboCraftsman “M2K” is online and forming thicker metal 🎙️ Talks delivered at AI+ Summit, NSMMS, and a sold-out SMD Symposium in Huntsville We’re building faster. We’re building smarter. And we’re building here.

Proud to represent Machina Labs as a 2025 Silver Patron of the Space and Missile Defense Symposium in Huntsville. It was an honor to support this critical forum advancing national defense and a privilege to connect with leaders across government and industry, including RTX’s Michael Cox, this year’s Symposium Chair. The panels on Directed Energy, expertly moderated by Barry Pike, and the discussion on Next Generation Space and Missile Defense were particularly insightful highlighting the urgency, innovation, and collaboration required to meet emerging threats. Thank you to the SMD community for an exceptional event. The future of defense is being shaped in summits like these and we're proud to be part of the conversation. #SMD2025 #MissileDefense #NationalSecurity #DefenseInnovation

🏭 High-Temp Alloys. No Tooling. Rapid Iteration. This week, the Machina Labs team is on the ground at the Space and Missile Defense Symposium, educating the industry on how RoboForming is unlocking next-gen manufacturing for hypersonics and missile defense. Our RoboCraftsman platform forms complex, thin-walled structures in high-temperature alloys with NO dies, FASTER iteration, and digital traceability. It's time to build at the speed of modern defense. 🦾
