Why this company matters

Solideon addresses the need for decentralized, on-demand manufacturing of critical assets in aerospace, defense, and space. Its flagship Aperture platform integrates multi-robot directed energy deposition (DED-LB), CNC machining, and advanced inspection into a single deployable micro-factory, enabling autonomous production of large-scale structures without human intervention. The company also develops wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) solutions.

Target customers include aerospace manufacturers, defense contractors, and space industry firms. Solideon has collaborated with LEAP 71 on large-scale 3D-printed space hardware and manufactures small-batch production runs. It secured a $1.25M Direct-to-Phase II contract with the U.S. Air Force via AFWERX in 2024 and partners with Texas A&M University.

Solideon competes with centralized additive manufacturing platforms like Relativity Space and Divergent Technologies. Its differentiation lies in modular, on-site micro-factories that combine additive, subtractive, and assembly processes, bypassing traditional supply chain constraints. The company raised $6.5M in pre-seed funding from investors including 8090 Industries, 1517 Fund, and Stellar Ventures, and operates a 20,000 sq. ft. facility in Berkeley, CA.
