We’re more than just robots.

Who are we?

We’re a group of people that thinks 3D printing has unseen potential.

Although 3D printing promised to bring reduced waste, faster turnaround times, and accurate production of complex geometries to industry, we knew we could get more out of it. Because the first movers adopted the paradigm of a box on a desk, out of which parts flowed, the 3D printing industry is hobbled by many constraints - scale, speed, strength, and design. For these reasons, 3D printers are common in industrial design, but almost entirely absent when you look at how things are actually made in production.

Unsatisfied with current technologies, Cole Nielsen founded Orbital Composites in 2014 based on the idea that “3D printers need to be designed around the parts that they create.”

Our solution: robots. Robotic automation offers tremendous advantages at the fraction of the cost of traditional manufacturing systems, including scalability, and complex 3D printing on curves. To further prepare our customers for industry 4.0, we knew we needed to equip our technology to be able to synchronize up-to-the-millisecond data across thousands of cloud robots and IOT devices. After determining these as industry’s future requirements, we launched Orbital S in 2019 to propel our world into the next generation of manufacturing.

But this is only the beginning - the quest for developing impossible products won’t stop. We are committed to constant innovation not just to adapt to our transient global economy, but to be leaders of change.
