. @FastCompany just named us one of the Most Innovative Companies of 2026. For decades, metal printing forced a choice: speed or quality. We refused. The future of manufacturing doesn’t have to look like its past: freeform.co/newsroom #fcmostinnovative #manufacturing #additivemanufacturing #freeform

Can confirm - Eric and the team are absolutely defying what standard manufacturing heads think is possible. Some of the most impressive thinking and technology development I have ever seen.
Announcing our $67M Series B. With this raise, we’re launching Skyfall, the world’s fastest laser melting platform, accelerating production and scaling what many have called impossible.

Building the world's most advanced autonomous printing factory requires developing custom software and hardware in house. Looking for former founders and talented leaders who want to build with us. If that’s you, send in your info, or send me a note. job-boards.greenhouse.io/fre…

Last week, we completed our first print using the next generation of our custom software stack. This includes no legacy components, an entire GPU accelerated pre-print stack, and online dynamic laser scheduling. Our current production system is fully reserved for existing orders. As demand continues to increase, this software will be the heart of our next gen production lines.

When I was at SpaceX, running the Merlin engine program for Falcon 9, my brain kept coming back to one question: How will we make things on Mars?

"We don't like to be compared to other 3d printing companies, because we're in a completely different league" -- Erik Palitsch (first 50 employee at SpaceX), now CEO / founder of @freeform_future epic guest on @tbpn

True disruption of manufacturing is happening on American soil, and it's happening at scale, right here in Hawthorne, CA
25 Apr 2025
We asked Erik Palitsch (CEO of @freeform_future) about his frustrations regarding manufacturing technology's impact on national security. "China is investing in the 3D printing space. They don't have our technology. We are developing this in the U.S. for the U.S." "We don't have software margins that some VCs want, we are combining bits and atoms. You want your 5000x company, you get it at a company like this."

No ego. Teamwork. First-principles. That's how we do it.
25 Apr 2025
We asked Erik Palitsch (CEO of @freeform_future) what he learned from working closely with @elonmusk. "First, surround yourself with the smartest, most accomplished people you can, and listen to them." "Second, remember there's no problem we can't solve together." "Third, question everything."

"Enforcing culture is very important" - Erik Palitsch (CEO of @freeform_future) "I saw @SpaceX grow from 50-10,000 people." "One of the cultural things that became second nature for me was to do things now - just call people on the phone." "That's something that's been lost (broadly across tech) over the last several years."
1/ We exist to unlock advanced manufacturing for every industry - And to scale human innovation at the speed it deserves. Freeform is the only full-stack autonomous metal manufacturing company. This is how it works ->

11/ Freeform isn’t making prototypes. We’re manufacturing the infrastructure of the future—at the speed innovation demands. This is full-stack autonomous manufacturing. And it’s already live.
