Technology & Products

Key Products

Digital foundry using AI and robotics for precision metal castings, primarily for the aerospace industry.

Technological Advantage

Proprietary software-driven investment casting process achieves aerospace-grade precision (AMS 2175 Class 1, Grade A) and surface finishes (64-125μin Ra) with significantly reduced lead times.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Reduces lead times for precision metal castings from months/years to days while maintaining aerospace-grade quality (AMS 2175 Class 1, Grade A) and surface finishes of 64-125μin Ra.

How They Differentiate

Modernizes investment casting via software and automation to achieve 64-125μin Ra surface finish and AMS 2175 Class 1 Grade A compliance with lead times in days rather than months.

Why this company matters

AMPulse analysis, not a company disclosure

Fabri operates a digital foundry that replaces traditional investment casting workflows with AI-driven design optimization and robotic automation. The company targets the aerospace industry's need for precision metal castings that meet AMS 2175 Class 1, Grade A standards and surface finishes of 64-125 microinches Ra, while compressing delivery timelines from months or years to days.

The core technology is a proprietary software-driven investment casting process that integrates generative design and robotics to reduce manual iteration and tooling delays. This positions Fabri between conventional foundries, which offer scale but long lead times, and metal additive manufacturing services, which can produce complex geometries but often at higher per-part costs and with size limitations.

Fabri serves aerospace primes, defense contractors, and industrial OEMs that require certified castings for structural and engine components. The company has not disclosed named customers but counts RTX Ventures as a strategic investor and partner for R&D and supply chain collaboration. Additional backing comes from Lavrock Ventures, Tenon Ventures, SBXi, and Balerion Space Venture, with $5 million in seed funding raised as of 2023.

The key open question is whether Fabri can scale its digital foundry model to compete with established investment casting suppliers on volume and cost, while maintaining the quality certifications required for flight-critical parts. Its reliance on proprietary software and robotics creates a defensible moat, but the aerospace qualification cycle is long and customer adoption may be gradual.
