3DX Industries, Inc. (OTCID: DDDX), a U.S.-based advanced additive and precision manufacturing company, announced today that pilot production of the PHILL™ AI-enabled service robot platform is underway under the pilot-to-scale manufacturing program initiated by AIBotics, Inc. (OTCID: AIBT) on April 27, 2026. This program signifies the company's continued expansion into robotics and AI-enabled hardware manufacturing, supporting the transition of early-stage robotic systems into repeatable production environments.
As part of the program, 3DX Industries is handling component manufacturing, assembly, finishing, packaging, and shipment of PHILL™ units from its U.S. operations. The current first-article production run consists of five units designed to validate manufacturing workflows, assembly procedures, quality standards, and production repeatability prior to broader commercial deployment. Subject to successful completion of the pilot phase, final production planning, and commercial rollout requirements, the program may expand into additional production runs over the next 12 months.
3DX Industries is utilizing a hybrid manufacturing approach that combines metal additive manufacturing, advanced photopolymer resin printing, CNC machining, finishing, and assembly support. This integrated process allows for rapid iteration, precision component production, and scalable low-volume manufacturing for emerging robotics and automation platforms.
“The transition from prototype to repeatable manufacturing is a critical step in bringing robotics platforms into real-world environments,” said Ben Kaplan, Chief Executive Officer of AIBotics. “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.”
“This program reflects the increasing demand for domestic manufacturing partners capable of supporting advanced technology products from development through production,” said Roger Janssen, President and CEO of 3DX Industries. “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.
The implications of this announcement are significant for the robotics and manufacturing industries. As demand for AI-enabled service robots grows in sectors like hospitality, healthcare, commercial real estate, and public infrastructure, the ability to transition from prototype to scalable production is critical. By leveraging a hybrid manufacturing approach, 3DX Industries demonstrates a viable path for domestic production of advanced robotics, potentially reducing reliance on overseas manufacturing and accelerating time-to-market for innovative technologies. For investors, the successful pilot could lead to expanded production runs and revenue growth for both 3DX Industries and AIBotics. For the broader industry, this program highlights the importance of manufacturing partnerships in bringing AI-powered hardware to commercial deployment.
