3DX Industries, Inc. (OTCID: DDDX), a U.S.-based advanced manufacturing company, has announced the formation of its 3DX Advanced Systems Division, a new operating unit focused on artificial intelligence, robotics, product engineering and intelligent physical systems. The move signals a strategic shift to broaden the company’s role in the product-development and commercialization cycle by integrating technology development, engineering, prototyping, production planning, manufacturing, assembly and product delivery within a unified platform.
The new division is designed to build additional value around 3DX’s existing manufacturing operations, which will remain a core part of the company and continue supporting established customers. By participating more directly in engineering, technology integration and product development, 3DX aims to capture a larger share of the value created as new physical technologies move from development into production. “Our objective is not to move away from manufacturing. It is to build more value around the manufacturing capabilities we already have,” said Roger Janssen, President and CEO of 3DX Industries. “We want the ability to manufacture for our customers, participate more deeply in their product-development programs and, where the opportunity warrants it, develop or acquire technologies and products that can be commercialized through the 3DX platform.”
The formation of Advanced Systems reflects a growing trend where advanced manufacturing and intelligent systems converge. Nicholas Coriano, Vice President of 3DX Industries, added, “The opportunity is in connecting digital intelligence with physical execution. Companies developing robotics, autonomous systems and other intelligent products require engineering, rapid prototyping, production knowledge, manufacturing and a practical path toward commercialization. Advanced Systems is intended to bring those capabilities together within 3DX.”
3DX’s current participation in the PHILL™ AI-enabled service robot pilot-production program exemplifies the type of opportunity the company sees at the intersection of product engineering, intelligent systems and advanced manufacturing. Advanced Systems is being established to pursue that opportunity across a broader range of technologies, customers and product platforms.
The division is expected to provide multiple avenues for growth. It may support outside technology companies through engineering, product-development and manufacturing services; participate in strategic development and commercialization relationships; and evaluate opportunities to develop, license or acquire technologies and products that complement the company’s existing capabilities. This approach is intended to allow 3DX to participate at multiple stages of a product’s development—from concept and engineering through prototyping, manufacturing, assembly and commercial production—while creating opportunities for recurring production programs, longer-term technology relationships and, where appropriate, proprietary products and intellectual property.
Initial priorities for Advanced Systems include recruiting qualified AI, robotics and engineering leadership; expanding 3DX’s ability to support robotics, autonomous systems and intelligent-product programs from concept through production; developing reusable technology and engineering capabilities that can support multiple physical-product platforms; evaluating strategic technology acquisitions, intellectual property, licensing opportunities and development partnerships; and evaluating proprietary and partnered products that complement 3DX’s manufacturing capabilities and provide a practical path toward commercialization.
“The formation of Advanced Systems gives 3DX a framework for expanding from manufacturing individual components into broader engineering, production and technology programs,” Janssen added. “We believe the combination of advanced manufacturing and intelligent systems creates opportunities for 3DX to participate in a larger portion of the value created as new physical technologies move from development into production.”
