3DX Industries, Inc. (OTCID: DDDX), a U.S.-based advanced additive and precision manufacturing company, announced today that it has commenced pilot production of the PHILL™ AI-enabled service robot platform under a pilot-to-scale manufacturing program with AIBotics, Inc. (OTCID: AIBT). This development, first announced by AIBotics on April 27, 2026, represents a significant step in bringing robotics platforms from prototype to repeatable production.
The pilot production run consists of five PHILL™ units, which will be used to validate manufacturing workflows, assembly procedures, quality standards, and production repeatability. 3DX Industries is supporting component manufacturing, assembly, finishing, packaging, and shipment from its U.S. operations. The company 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.
If the pilot phase is successful, and subject to final production planning and commercial rollout requirements, the program may expand into additional production runs over the next 12 months. This could lead to broader commercial deployment of the PHILL™ robot, which is designed for environments such as hospitality, healthcare, commercial real estate, and public infrastructure.
“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.”
Roger Janssen, President and CEO of 3DX Industries, highlighted the importance of domestic manufacturing capabilities for advanced technology products. “This program reflects the increasing demand for domestic manufacturing partners capable of supporting advanced technology products from development through production,” he said. “Our role is to provide manufacturing execution, production flexibility, and quality control to help customers transition products into commercial deployment.”
The PHILL™ program expands 3DX Industries’ presence in robotics, automation, and AI-enabled hardware markets, while the company continues to serve customers in industrial, aerospace, defense, medical, and energy sectors.
