3DX Industries, Inc. (OTCID: DDDX), a U.S.-based advanced additive and precision manufacturing company, announced today that it has commenced pilot production of the PHILL™ AI-enabled service robot platform. This program, originally announced by AIBotics, Inc. (OTCID: AIBT) on April 27, 2026, represents a key step in transitioning early-stage robotic systems into repeatable manufacturing environments.
Under the pilot-to-scale manufacturing program, 3DX Industries is responsible for component manufacturing, assembly, finishing, packaging, and shipment of PHILL units from its U.S. operations. The initial production run consists of five units designed to validate manufacturing workflows, assembly procedures, quality standards, and production repeatability. Subject to successful completion of this pilot phase, the program may expand into additional production runs over the next 12 months, pending final production planning and commercial rollout requirements.
The company is employing a hybrid manufacturing approach that combines metal additive manufacturing, advanced photopolymer resin printing, CNC machining, finishing, and assembly support. This integrated process enables rapid iteration, precision component production, and scalable low-volume manufacturing for emerging robotics and automation platforms. The PHILL program aligns with growing demand for domestic manufacturing partners capable of supporting advanced technology products from development through production.
Ben Kaplan, Chief Executive Officer of AIBotics, stated, "The transition from prototype to repeatable manufacturing is a critical step in bringing robotics platforms into real-world environments. PHILL was designed with scalability in mind, and our partnership with 3DX Industries supports our objective of moving from pilot validation toward commercial deployment as demand for AI-enabled robotics continues to grow."
Roger Janssen, President and CEO of 3DX Industries, added, "This program reflects the increasing demand for domestic manufacturing partners capable of supporting advanced technology products from development through production. Our role is to provide manufacturing execution, production flexibility, and quality control to help customers transition products into commercial deployment."
The PHILL program further expands 3DX Industries' manufacturing presence within robotics, automation, and AI-enabled hardware markets, while continuing to support customers across industrial, aerospace, defense, medical, and energy sectors.
