HQ BerkeleyFounded 2022
Solideon is revolutionizing manufacturing by turning off-the-shelf robotics into fully autonomous micro-factories. Powered by proprietary software, these systems can 3D print, post-process, assemble, and inspect complex structures and vehicles — all without human intervention. Founded in 2022 by former Rocket Lab engineers, Solideon’s mission is to decentralize production. By enabling on-site, adaptive manufacturing, the company reduces dependency on traditional supply chains and accelerates innovation across aerospace, energy, and automotive sectors.
