Point-of-need manufacturing

A full factory inside a container. Critical parts, at the point of need.

Factory Boxx fits polymer 3D printing, metal 3D printing and 5-axis CNC machining into one standard 20 ft ISO container — so remote sites make the parts they need in hours, not weeks.

The problem

Remote operations can't wait weeks for a spare part

Downtime is expensive

A line-down event at a mine, rig or forward base can cost six figures a day while replacement parts cross oceans, borders and brokers.

Fragile supply chains

Critical spares travel weeks through freight and customs — and disruptions make those lead times unpredictable.

Manufacturing can't follow the work

Energy sites, remote operations and relief zones are exactly where production capacity does not exist — and is needed most.

The solution

Critical parts, made at the point of need

One standard 20 ft ISO container, fully fitted as a self-contained manufacturing cell. Lift it onto any truck, ship, rail car or pallet position — connect power, and start producing parts on site.

Metal spares

Impellers, valve internals, seals, flanges and downhole spares — emergency metal parts at the rig or platform.

Defense components

Vehicle, UAV and system spares produced at the forward base — no convoys, no months-long RFQs.

Obsolete parts

Legacy components no OEM still stocks — scanned, reverse-engineered and remade on site.

A digital warehouse

Certified part files replace physical inventory — thousands of spares stored as data, made on demand.

Underlying capability

Five processes, one verified layout

Not just a printer in a box — a complete fabrication cell engineered to produce finished, ready-to-fit parts.

Full metal workflow

Print → wash → sinter → machine, inside one box. End-to-end metal parts, not near-net blanks that still need a machine shop.

Engineering polymers

Carbon-fiber nylon and multi-material polymer printing for structural, jam-resistant and lightweight components.

Precision 5-axis CNC

Dedicated high-speed machining for fine-detail metal parts and finishing — same-day aluminum from billet.

Digital thread

One CAD/CAM cockpit drives the whole cell. Parts move meters, not weeks — from file to finished component.

Engineered integration

Power, HVAC, ventilation and an 800 mm working aisle, verified against real machine datasheets in ~13.9 m².

Sub-$1M entry point

A capability that normally needs a building — delivered at container price, deployable anywhere.

Inside the box

From file to finished metal part

1

Print

Bound-metal or polymer part printed from a validated CAD file — 4–8 hours for typical spares.

2

Wash

Debinding removes the binder to prepare the green part for the furnace.

3

Sinter

The part is sintered to full-density metal in the on-board furnace, batched for efficiency.

4

Machine

5-axis CNC brings critical surfaces to spec — a finished, ready-to-fit part.

On-site metal turnaround: aluminum same-day · steel in under 72 hours — versus 6–12 weeks for imported spares.

Where it deploys

Built for sites the supply chain forgets

A defense-and-energy beachhead, expanding across every sector that runs critical equipment far from a factory.

Defense

Vehicle, UAV and system spares produced at the forward base — dispersed, relocatable capacity that redeploys.

Oil & Gas

Impellers, valve internals, seals and downhole spares — emergency metal parts at the rig or platform.

Aerospace MRO

Obsolete and long-lead components scanned, reverse-engineered and remade to keep aging fleets flying.

Humanitarian & Relief

Manufacturing dropped into disaster zones where infrastructure is gone but critical parts are needed fast.

Remote Engineering

Design, reverse-engineer and convert legacy parts to AM — files dispatched to any deployed crew.

Ways to deploy

Own it, lease it, or let our crew run it

Every deployed unit compounds: the hardware up front, then recurring materials, service and engineering for the life of the fleet.

1 Unit sales

Turnkey ownership

A complete Factory Boxx sold to government and enterprise customers, configured to the mission.

2 Lease / RaaS

Robots-as-a-Service

Multi-year leases with remote fleet monitoring and support — capacity without the capital outlay.

3 Crewed production

We run it for you

Operator-crewed containers billed per part or machine-hour — premium capacity at the point of need.

4 Remote engineering

Digital inventory

We design, reverse-engineer and convert legacy parts to validated AM files, dispatched to any crew.
