AI-Driven composite manufacturing for drone frames
CarbonForm combines vision AI, automated planning, and robotics to manufacture custom composite drone frames with faster design changes and repeatable production.
CarbonForm is building an AI-directed manufacturing system that understands the workcell, plans the process, and guides robots in turning digital designs into physical parts.
Percieve
Vision AI maps nodes and the workcell
AI That Sees, Plans, and Builds
Plan
AI generates fiber paths and robot motions
Execute
AI guides the robotic winding process
Adapt
AI uses feedback to improve execution.
Our goal is not to add AI to manufacturing.
it is to make AI the manufacturer.
Intelligence That Scales
Each robotic cell follows the same AI-directed process, carrying consistent planning and execution from one robot to the next.
The result is a repeatable foundation for greater capacity
Frames for different operating needs
The same manufacturing intelligence can create different frame architectures, each shaped by its purpose.
Low-cost, rapidly produced frames designed for high-turnover missions and expendable platforms.
Attritable frames
Engineered to absorb impact and protect critical components in demanding environments.
Crash-Resistant Frames
Fully custom geometries built around your payload, electronics, and mission requirements.
Custom Frames
3D Fiber Tethering (3DFiT)
3DFiT is CarbonForm’s proprietary, AI-enabled process for manufacturing continuous-fiber drone frames. Structural nodes define the geometry, while AI-planned fiber paths guide robotic tethering to form a unified composite structure.
Without dedicated production molds, design changes can be incorporated more quickly. Frames can be wound in minutes, depending on their size and geometry, using a broad range of continuous-fiber reinforcements.
Built to keep flying
Durability is tested, not assumed. From complete-drone drops to direct impacts on concrete, Carbonform frames are built for real-world conditions.
Drone Vs Gravity
Frame Vs Concrete
One manufacturing process. Different scales. Built around the mission.
