Roboze, a manufacturing technology company developing advanced production platforms for mission-critical industries, announced that it has secured an investment from Rule 1 Ventures, a U.S. venture capital firm focused on defense and national security technologies.
The funding will support the expansion of Roboze’s distributed manufacturing infrastructure, enabling governments and industrial operators to produce critical components closer to the point of need. The company’s platform integrates additive manufacturing hardware, proprietary materials science, software-driven process intelligence and embedded Physical AI to support the production of complex parts used in sectors such as aerospace, defense, energy and transportation.
The investment round also includes participation from Privcorp Ventures; Heather Podesta, founder and CEO of Invariant LLC; Gary Ang, former Temasek operating partner and Singaporean Air Force official; Tholus Capital; and the Ferrari Family Office. Existing Roboze shareholders also participated in the round, including Federico Faggin, inventor of the microprocessor, and Rialto Venture Capital.
The capital will also support Roboze’s continued expansion across operational hubs in the United States, Europe and the Middle East. Through this expansion, the company aims to deploy distributed manufacturing capabilities that can serve governments, defense contractors and strategic industrial sectors while addressing supply chain challenges such as long lead times, fragile logistics and limited production flexibility.
Roboze’s technology platform is designed to enable localized, on-demand production of mission-critical components through an integrated manufacturing stack that combines advanced additive manufacturing hardware, high-performance polymer and composite materials, AI-driven process intelligence, digital manufacturing software and distributed Smart Factory infrastructure.
The company said this approach helps industrial operators reduce supply chain vulnerabilities while accelerating the production of complex components traditionally dependent on centralized manufacturing systems.
KEY QUOTES:
“We are proud to welcome Rule 1 Ventures and this exceptional group of investors to Roboze. Modern industrial resilience requires more than machines — it requires a complete manufacturing platform that combines hardware, materials science and intelligent software. Our mission is to build the infrastructure that allows critical industries to produce advanced components wherever they are needed.”
Alessio Lorusso, Founder And CEO Of Roboze
“Future readiness depends not only on advanced systems but also on the ability to sustain and produce them. Roboze is building industrial capability that will become increasingly critical to national security.”
James A. Winnefeld Jr., Partner At Rule 1 Ventures
