TBPN Interview: Why Machina Labs Builds Like a Data Center, Not an Assembly Line

Machina Labs CEO Edward Mehr recently joined the hosts of TBPN for a special holiday edition interview to discuss the future of manufacturing and how the company is rethinking how things get made.

In the interview, Ed breaks down the fundamental shift from traditional assembly-line manufacturing to a model that is more like modern data centers: intelligent, software-defined factories that can adapt in real time and manufacture in parallel.

“We’re not building assembly lines. We’re building infrastructure,  like a data center, that can manufacture high-mix, high-precision parts at speed.” ~ Edward Mehr

In the interview, Ed also shares:
• Why Machina Labs started with metal
• How intelligent factories adapt
SDF Investment and UAE expansion plans
• Enabling defense, aerospace, and custom automotive programs
