Machina Labs, an innovator in advanced manufacturing and robotics, has announced the appointment of Ronen Lebi as Chief Business Officer. In this role, Lebi will be responsible for driving the company's global business, overseeing sales, marketing, business development and operations to expand Machina Labs' presence across key markets.
Lebi brings with him a wealth of experience and a proven track record in leadership roles within the technology and advanced manufacturing sectors. Prior to joining Machina Labs, Lebi served as vice president, head of Stratasys Dental, a division of Stratasys. While there, Lebi formed and led a global vertical business unit offering tailored additive solutions for production of select dental applications. His new go-to-market strategy resulted in a 35% YoY top-line growth for the business unit.
"We are thrilled to have Ronen on board," said Edward Mehr, CEO and co-founder of Machina Labs. "He has played a pivotal role in building one of the most successful applications of 3D printing in the dental industry. Ronen's deep understanding of manufacturing, combined with his expertise in building discrete vertical applications, will be invaluable as we expand into verticals such as defense, aerospace, automotive and more."
Lebi first joined Stratasys in 2015 as vice president of corporate development, and over the course of his employment there initiated and led key activities including ventures in metals and composites along with expansion into three new polymer-based manufacturing technologies.
"I am excited to join Machina Labs at such an exciting time in the company's journey," said Lebi. "Machina Labs is at the forefront of a manufacturing revolution, delivering groundbreaking solutions to the growing needs of key industries. I look forward to working with the talented team here to drive innovation and deliver exceptional value to our customers."
Through a proprietary process called Roboforming, Machina Labs combines the latest advances in AI and robotics to disrupt the $280 billion sheet metal industry and deliver finished sheet metal products in days, giving customers improved time to market and competitive advantage. Machina already is solving supply chain challenges for its customers in defense, aerospace and automotive in mission-critical applications such as structural sustainment components, propulsion tanks and tooling.
"Leveraging precise industrial robotics, AI-driven process control and interchangeable tools within one cell, Roboforming rapidly shapes sheet metal feedstock into large, complex parts that are expensive and slow to produce with conventional manufacturing tools," said a company spokesperson. "This process eliminates the cost of sourcing, designing and manufacturing molds and dies, which in traditional manufacturing can cost up to $1M per design and take up to years of lead time."
