NASA Toroidal Tank Case Study

Toroidal (donut-shaped) tanks have long been recognized for their potential to improve spacecraft fuel storage with compact, efficient designs that integrate seamlessly with other components. But for decades, the high costs, production times and skilled labor demands of manufacturing these tanks kept them out of reach.

NASA selected our AI-driven RoboCraftsman™ platform with RoboForming technology to solve a challenge that traditional manufacturing could not. In a groundbreaking demonstration, Machina Labs fabricated a toroidal tank without molds, dies, or specialized tooling – eliminating the barriers that once made scalable production impractical.
