3DX Industries, Inc. (OTCID: DDDX), a U.S.-based advanced manufacturing company, announced the formation of its 3DX Advanced Systems Division on September 10, 2026. The new operating division will focus on artificial intelligence, robotics, product engineering, and intelligent physical systems. This strategic move is designed to broaden 3DX's role in the product-development and commercialization cycle by unifying technology development, engineering, prototyping, production planning, manufacturing, assembly, and product delivery within a single operating platform.
The formation of Advanced Systems matters because it signals a shift in how 3DX intends to compete in the advanced manufacturing landscape. Rather than remaining solely a contract manufacturer, the company aims to participate more directly in engineering, technology integration, and product development. This could lead to proprietary or partnered product platforms, creating additional paths for scalable growth. The division will allow 3DX to support outside technology companies through engineering and manufacturing services, engage in strategic development relationships, and evaluate opportunities to develop, license, or acquire complementary technologies and products.
Roger Janssen, President and CEO of 3DX Industries, emphasized that the new division does not mean abandoning manufacturing. "Our objective is not to move away from manufacturing. It is to build more value around the manufacturing capabilities we already have," Janssen said. "We want the ability to manufacture for our customers, participate more deeply in their product-development programs and, where the opportunity warrants it, develop or acquire technologies and products that can be commercialized through the 3DX platform." This approach could enable 3DX to capture a larger share of the value chain, moving from component production to full product commercialization.
Nicholas Coriano, Vice President of 3DX Industries, added, "The opportunity is in connecting digital intelligence with physical execution. Companies developing robotics, autonomous systems and other intelligent products require engineering, rapid prototyping, production knowledge, manufacturing and a practical path toward commercialization. Advanced Systems is intended to bring those capabilities together within 3DX." The division's initial priorities include recruiting AI, robotics, and engineering leadership; expanding support for robotics and autonomous systems; developing reusable technology and engineering capabilities; and evaluating strategic acquisitions, intellectual property, and licensing opportunities.
3DX's existing manufacturing operations will remain a core part of the company, continuing to support established customers. The new division is intended to build additional value around those capabilities. One example of the type of opportunity 3DX sees is its current participation in the PHILL™ AI-enabled service robot pilot-production program, which sits at the intersection of product engineering, intelligent systems, and advanced manufacturing. Advanced Systems is being established to pursue similar opportunities across a broader range of technologies, customers, and product platforms.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond 3DX. As industries increasingly integrate AI and robotics into physical products, companies that can bridge digital intelligence and physical execution may gain a competitive edge. By creating Advanced Systems, 3DX positions itself to participate at multiple stages of a product's development—from concept and engineering through prototyping, manufacturing, assembly, and commercial production. This could lead to recurring production programs, longer-term technology relationships, and proprietary products and intellectual property. The company is currently evaluating potential leadership, technology, intellectual-property, and product-development opportunities that complement the new division.
