Talon is building programmable factories to manufacture and assemble complete aerospace and robotics systems.

We believe that as AI gets better at CAD modeling, the bottleneck will increasingly become reliably producing complete systems. Even when individual parts are straightforward to make, the finished system depends on coordinating tolerances, interfaces, assembly sequences, and testing across multiple processes. Parts can individually meet their drawings yet still be difficult to align, fasten, or inspect together.

Producing working systems repeatedly requires these decisions to be made together.

Our computer-controlled machinery and standardized tooling create a production environment where we can train AI models to simulate and programmatically execute an expanding range of manufacturing and assembly operations.

Customer AI agents can use these simulation capabilities to co-design hardware against engineering requirements, manufacturing constraints, and assembly requirements.

This requires a new class of factory with a harness that artificial intelligence can use effectively both in the real world and in simulation.
