Autonomous factories for precision parts
Daedalus is building the factory of the future. By automating the production process of precision parts end-to-end through software, we’re able to machine unknown parts without human input and thus enable autonomous, flexible manufacturing for quantities as low as one. With locations in San Francisco (USA) and Karlsruhe (Germany), we combine Silicon Valley software and robotics expertise with German manufacturing.
