# Aibuild secures investment from Driventure and 212 NexT

[Aibuild, the software company for autonomous manufacturing](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/ai-build/), has secured further investment to drive the industrialization of AI agents in manufacturing. Led by existing investor IQ Capital, the round welcomes new strategic partners 212 NexT and Driventure, Ford Otosan’s corporate venture capital arm, alongside continued support from ACT Venture Partners, Force Over Mass Capital, and Atlas Ventures.

This capital injection validates [Aibuild’s mission](https://www.voxelmatters.com/aibuild-partners-with-generative-machine-company/) to bridge the gap between digital design and physical parts. By embedding a decade of manufacturing know-how into a flexible digital infrastructure, Aibuild is replacing manual, error-prone processes with 'Physical AI' that understands the real-world manufacturing constraints.

“This funding accelerates our transition into a new era where AI agents leave the screen and enter the factory floor,” said Daghan Cam, Co-founder and CEO of Aibuild. “For too long, additive manufacturing has been held back by a reliance on tacit engineering knowledge. We are breaking these barriers. By empowering engineers to deploy AI directly into their workflows, we are enabling large enterprises to solve their most complex production challenges, drastically reducing lead times and increasing throughput.”

“This isn’t just capital; it is strategic validation. Having partners like Driventure and 212 NexT onboard allows us to integrate deeper into the industrial supply chain and deliver the intelligent, secure manufacturing solutions our enterprise clients require to compete," said Michail Desyllas, Co-founder and COO of Aibuild.

“[Aibuild delivers exceptional automation](https://www.voxelmatters.com/aibuild-and-massive-dimension-launch-md-software/) and quality assurance in large-scale additive manufacturing, earning rapid adoption from leading industrial groups. We are very happy to join this round to back Daghan and Michail and to support Aibuild in expanding its industrial reach through our industrial investor base and wider industry network," said Caglar Urcan, General Partner at 212 NexT.

“To fully unlock the potential of next-generation manufacturing, bridging the gap between large industrial enterprises and digital innovation is more important than ever. Supporting next-generation technologies is a key priority for us at Driventure. Aibuild’s platform provides the physical AI infrastructure that simplifies complex additive manufacturing workflows and drives true digital transformation. Aibuild is already being utilized for 3D part production at Ford Otosan’s Yeniköy Plant, and this investment represents a step toward deepening this collaboration. As Driventure, we are proud to invest in this venture, which offers an efficient and sustainable solution for additive manufacturing processes and the industry at scale," said İlknur İlkyaz Gül, General Manager at Driventure.

Already serving industrial leaders like Boeing and Ford, Aibuild is leveraging this investment to scale its US operations in response to surging demand from the aerospace, defense, and energy sectors. [The company’s recently established Silicon Valley headquarters](https://www.voxelmatters.com/aibuild-opens-u-s-headquarters-in-silicon-valley/) will function as the central hub for this expansion.

To support the sensitive nature of these industries, Aibuild has implemented secure, air-gapped infrastructure capabilities. This allows for ‘dark factory’ operations that function entirely off-the-grid, meeting the rigorous security standards required for defense and national security applications.

The funding will also advance the platform’s 'Hardware Agnostic' capabilities, exemplified by Aibuild’s recent partnership with Nikon. Key technical roadmap items include: predicting and mitigating defects digitally before physical production begins; seamlessly managing additive and CNC milling workflows in a single interface; and allowing partners to encapsulate and protect their proprietary IP within Aibuild’s infrastructure.
