Former SpaceX engineers are building a robotic factory for making steel parts
摘要
三位前SpaceX工程师正利用AI驱动软件与机器人，将业务从火箭发动机制造转向钢铁部件生产。其近期目标是在2027年前建成原型工厂，实现关键基础设施部件钢铁制造流程的大部分自动化。这家名为1872的初创公司于7月22日在俄亥俄州辛辛那提的Factory One工厂正式启动，初期专注于自动化生产钢制底座——一种为模块化建筑提供可移动基础的矩形钢架，客户群体瞄准
Three former SpaceX engineers have switched their attention from making rocket engines to manufacturing steel parts by using AI-driven software and robots. Their immediate goal involves establishing a prototype factory that can automate most of the steel fabrication process for crucial infrastructure components by 2027.
The startup, called 1872, officially launched on July 22 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at its Factory One facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company is initially focused on automating the manufacturing of steel skids—rectangular steel frames that can provide a moveable foundation for modular buildings—with the goal of supplying customers who are developing AI data centers or small modular nuclear reactors.
“We're building towards autonomy, but we're not necessarily building in a dogmatic fashion towards full autonomy,” Dan Summers, CEO of 1872, told Ars. “We may achieve 80 percent autonomous operations, and we may decide that it makes sense to stop there because there's just diminishing returns to go to full 100 percent.”
