Fabri Secures $13.5M to Reshore U.S. Casting with 3D-Printed Wax Patterns and AI
2026-06-17
Fabri, a U.S. startup building what it calls a 'digital foundry,' has closed a $13.5 million funding round led by Lockheed Martin Ventures and RTX Ventures. The company bypasses traditional mold-making in investment casting by 3D printing wax patterns, combining AI-driven design software and automated process control to compress lead times from months—or even two years—down to days. Current casting dimensions are limited to 7×13×15.75 inches, with materials including aluminum, copper, bronze, C71500, and various steels; the firm plans to expand into nickel-based superalloys (IN713C, Mar-M247). Fabri holds ITAR registration, CMMC Level 2 cybersecurity certification, and JCP Enhanced Validation. The U.S. Department of Defense has identified castings as among the top four national defense priorities, positioning foundries as the frontline of reindustrialization.

Fabri完成1350万美元融资，用3D打印蜡模+AI重建美国铸造产能
Fabri是一家试图创建“数字铸造厂”的美国初创公司，刚完成1350万美元融资，投资方包括洛克希德·马丁风投、RTX风投等。该公司用3D打印蜡模跳过传统熔模铸造的制模环节，结合AI驱动设计软件和自动化流程控制，目标将交付周期从数月甚至两年压缩至数天。现铸造尺寸限制在7×13×15.75英寸，材料涵盖铝、铜、青铜、C71500及多种钢材，正计划扩展至镍基高温合金（IN713C、Mar-M247）。公司持有ITAR注册、CMMC Level 2网络安全认证和JCP Enhanced Validation。美国国防部将铸件列为前四大国防优先事项之一，铸造厂被视为再工业化的前线。
