Powdrix

The floor runs itself. You decide how far.

Seed · 2026 Additive manufacturing autonomy Active

The autonomous operations layer for industrial additive manufacturing — build preparation and process-parameter control, in-situ melt-pool and layer monitoring, recoat and powder-bed control, thermal and distortion control, AI CT and vision inspection of porosity, cracks and lack of fusion, post-processing control across heat treatment, HIP and support removal, robotic build-plate and powder handling, and an as-built part digital twin that tests density, geometry and takt before the build.

Company profile. Powdrix details — founders, products, and open roles — are taken from the company's own materials at powdrix.com. AWSM VC backed Powdrix's $1M seed round.

The stack

Meltrix

Plant-edge melt-pool agent that sees and steadies every melt pool, layer by layer.

Parttwin

The as-built part digital twin: hit target density, geometry and takt in simulation before the build starts.

Poroscan

Qualification-grade CT and vision inspection of every pore, crack and micron of geometry.

Forgebot

Autonomous build-plate, powder and part handling through post-processing.

Yieldex

The floor brain: maximizes yield, takt and qualification across the machine fleet.

Active founders

Christopher Hayes

CEO & Co-founder

Owns Powdrix's design-partner relationships, pilot structure and commercial model, starting with the additive floors where scrapped builds and requalification cost the most.
