Former SpaceX engineers are building a robotic factory for making steel parts
Summary
Three former SpaceX engineers launched 1872 to automate steel fabrication using AI-driven software and robotics, starting with a prototype factory in Cincinnati. They aim to build an AI-driven architecture (Architect) orchestrated by a Conductor to auto-design, source, and manufacture steel skids, partnering with Path Robotics to cut welding costs, backed by $15 million in seed funding.
