Materials to weld the future
North American and European aerospace, naval, defense, and space industries are all being bottlenecked by one major problem: production of large metal components takes too long, costs too much, and is reliant on adversarial nations. Fortius solves this problem with its industrial AI, which transforms ordinary industrial robots into automated welding-based deposition systems capable of fabricating critical large metal components anywhere on demand and within hours. This unlocks the use of Fortius' patented, high-strength aluminum welding wire for ongoing ARR sales of potentially 30T/day.
