From One of Millions, to One-of-One

A New Era in Automotive Customization

From One Design to One-of-One

Anvil is a demonstration of Machina Labs' RoboCraftsman platform, highlighting how we bring advanced customization and agility to automotive manufacturing. Our RoboForming process allows for rapid customization of stamped panels, without the need of hard tooling or long leads on equipment.

Developed using the Ford F-150 Lightning as a base platform, Anvil highlights what’s possible when automotive panels are formed using our RoboCraftsman™ manufacturing system. What was once economically and operationally impossible is now within reach.

Questions? We have answers.

Is this a capability you're offering to automotive manufacturers or individuals?

Automotive manufacturers. Anvil demonstrates a manufacturing capability we offer to automotive OEMs, customizing and restriking sheet metal panels without tooling. We partner directly with OEMs to bring this into production programs.

Wait, I thought I could sign up to reserve an Anvil truck?

Anvil was originally launched as a concept to explore full-vehicle customization using our RoboForming tech. The level of interest was incredible, and thousands signed up. But as our work with major automotive companies progressed, it became clear that the real opportunity was not in building trucks ourselves, but helping the world’s leading manufacturers build their next generation of customized vehicles.

Anvil now lives on as a proof-of-capability platform, demonstrating what’s possible with Machina Labs’ flexible manufacturing technology. While you can’t reserve a truck, you can ask the automotive industry to accelerate this capability.

Can you customize preformed stamped panels? Yes. RoboCraftsman’s flexibility enables stamped panels with new design features, badges, or geometry, without needing to rework the original die.
What material are the car panels made from?

The panels are made from the same material as the car's original ones. For the F150 Lightning, that means automotive-grade aluminum.

Why wasn't this possible before? Production cars are made with traditional manufacturing techniques that leave no room for change or flexibility. Only the most wealthy car buyers could afford customization, as it requires skilled hand labor... until now. Roboforming, a technology from the aerospace world, replaces those traditional techniques with robotics and AI, delivering the efficiency of production manufacturing but infinite ability to customize.
Can this be added near our assembly line? While Machina Labs currently performs all manufacturing in our Los Angeles factory, we are open to long-term partnership discussions that would and can support distributed factory models in the future.
