3DX Industries, Inc. (OTC: DDDX) announced on May 20, 2026, that it has commenced pilot production of the PHILL™ AI-enabled service robot platform under a program originally announced by AIBotics, Inc. (OTC: AIBT) on April 27, 2026. This pilot-to-scale manufacturing program represents the company's expansion into robotics and AI-enabled hardware production, transitioning early-stage robotic systems into repeatable manufacturing environments.
Under the program, 3DX Industries is responsible for component manufacturing, assembly, finishing, packaging, and shipment of PHILL units from its U.S. operations. The current first-article production run consists of five units designed to validate manufacturing workflows, assembly procedures, quality standards, and production repeatability before broader commercial deployment. Subject to successful completion of the pilot phase, the program may expand into additional production runs over the next 12 months.
3DX Industries is employing a hybrid manufacturing approach that combines metal additive manufacturing, advanced photopolymer resin printing, CNC machining, finishing, and assembly support. This integrated process allows for rapid iteration, precision component production, and scalable low-volume manufacturing for emerging robotics and automation platforms.
“The transition from prototype to repeatable manufacturing is a critical step in bringing robotics platforms into real-world environments,” said Ben Kaplan, Chief Executive Officer of AIBotics. “PHILL™ was designed with scalability in mind, and our partnership with 3DX Industries supports our objective of moving from pilot validation toward commercial deployment as demand for AI-enabled robotics continues to grow.”
“This program reflects the increasing demand for domestic manufacturing partners capable of supporting advanced technology products from development through production,” said Roger Janssen, President and CEO of 3DX Industries. “Our role is to provide manufacturing execution, production flexibility, and quality control to help customers transition products into commercial deployment.”
The PHILL™ program further expands 3DX Industries’ manufacturing presence within robotics, automation, and AI-enabled hardware markets while continuing to support customers across industrial, aerospace, defense, medical, and energy sectors. This initiative underscores the growing need for U.S.-based manufacturing partners that can handle advanced technology products from development through production.
