Composites,
designed and built
by robots.
The advanced materials, and the factory to produce them at rate. Built for defense, space, and energy.
The most advanced factory for composites.
The most advanced products — in defense, space, and energy — demand the most advanced materials. For nearly every mission-critical part, that means composites: lighter, stronger, more thermally capable than metal. But composites have never reached mass production. Traditional layup is too slow, too manual, too expensive.
Orbital changes that by coupling the material and the factory. Composites engineered to be produced at rate, and a factory architected around those materials — digital design, physics-based simulation, robotic production, and closed-loop learning, built together. A factory that compounds, not a process that plateaus.
The material. And the factory to produce it.
The factory exists for the material.
Polymer, carbon, and ceramic matrix composites — engineered in-house to be designed, simulated, printed, and learned on. Every pillar of the factory serves the part.
Digital Design
AI-assisted and generative design. From requirement to optimized composite geometry in hours, not weeks.
Simulation & Digital Twin
Physics-based modeling of cure, warp, stress, and failure — plus a digital twin of the factory itself. Predict before hardware moves.
Robotic Production
Multi-axis robotic cells print aerospace-grade composites without tooling or layup. One platform — drones, heat shields, space structures.
Physical AI
Closed-loop sensing on every layer. The factory learns from every part — tightening tolerances, lifting yields, compounding capability.
The factory works. Here's what it makes.
