Orbital Composites revolutionizes manufacturing with autonomous robotic systems and AI to 3D print mission-critical, high-performance composite parts at scale for the defense and aerospace industries. Their advanced robotic 3D printers specialize in manufacturing continuous fiber composites using aerospace-grade materials, resulting in structures that are significantly lighter than metal and suitable for extreme environments. The Orbital e- system, for example, utilizes a six-axis robotic arm and a large 1.2 m × 1.2 m platform, accommodating diverse processes like pellet extrusion, thermoset extrusion, and continuous fiber deposition. Orbital offers an all-digital, hyper-scalable workflow designed to take customers seamlessly from proof-of-concept demonstrations to pilot production and high-volume manufacturing. By eliminating the need for tooling and achieving up to a 75 percent reduction in labor, Orbital Composites provides a cost-competitive and efficient solution for next-generation hardware.
