Breaking: Open X (@TryOpenX) says its COLAB forward-deployable manufacturing lab is now supporting live combat deployments, with dozens of units fielded across six countries. COLAB is a containerized lab built to bring upskilling, repair, and fabrication closer to the edge. The system has also been fielded with Special Operations Forces and Marine Forces Special Operations Command. Separately, two research and development COLAB units deployed to Operation Epic Fury.

I stood inside Skill Factory #000 this week. Surreal Soon we will begin moving our teams from California, Utah, and Florida to all operate in Texas This will be our new HQ

The real building is in a major city, we are going to have the COLAB production line inside of it which goes live in about ~45 days

We are hiring for the final core team 3D Designers, Animators, Editors You will create the world’s highest quality training material. The building blocks of industry. GD&T, CAD, CNC. These works will be gifted to America, free. A precursor to unbelievable human potential

Shout out to USSOCOM & AFSOC for letting our guys borrow one of your COLABs before you deploy it No flyers, no marketing material, but a few great meetings. We bought two booths and just slapped it down on the floor and hit power on Everyone loved it!

This is @TryOpenX It is Skill Factory. It’s all our work on the training platform. It’s why we all left industry, and what I’ve give millions for. I will see this returned to America before my death. I do not care if it costs my life.

Another brand new COLAB, in great hands being delivered to AFSOC

I love getting thank you notes from customers This 1 COLAB has the high score. Over 400 Airmen have been trained on it this year in South Carolina!

Skill Factory #001 will be in Texas We grew 20x this year, it’s a blur. We launched COLAB, which has been ultra high demand, especially when paired with the skills platform. We now have COLABs deploying in Japan, Germany, UK. Soon in all US states

hot take: an engineering degree cant match the intuition gap that comes from real hands on engineering experience

Imagine if your local makerspace or shop class was funded by local employers And they gave projects / things to build, they donated older machines and materials What if we removed HR from the hiring cycle? What if builders in industry could just come talk and build with you

Behind the scenes footage of “Built In America”, a spiritual successor to the beloved How It’s Made, which helped millions like myself fall in love with industry

One of the comments below said "Helping Americans see their own greatness" Love it Can't wait to tune in

More COLABs out in the wild 🔥
