ATLANT 3D has launched NANOFABRICATOR PRO, which it describes as the world's first and only physical platform for AI-driven materials discovery. The system connects AI-generated materials predictions with programmable, atomic-scale fabrication, experimental validation, and device prototyping, aimed at speeding up the process of turning digital material designs into physically manufacturable materials and devices.
The company frames this as addressing a persistent challenge in AI-driven materials science: while AI can generate promising predictions for new materials, actually validating those predictions in the real world has remained difficult. Traditionally, materials design, fabrication, characterization, and manufacturing have operated as separate, disconnected processes, which slows down innovation and makes it harder to move from a digital discovery to an actual working technology.
NANOFABRICATOR PRO is built on ATLANT 3D's proprietary Direct Atomic Layer Processing (DALP) technology, which manipulates materials at the atomic scale. The platform serves as the foundation for what the company calls its Physical AI Infrastructure for Matter, along with its A-HUB Autonomous Materials Foundry, integrating AI-driven materials discovery, atomic-scale manufacturing, and rapid validation across applications including semiconductors, advanced packaging, and quantum technologies.
The platform is manufactured in partnership with Automated Industrial Robotics (AIR), which builds it in the U.S. as a SEMI-compliant system suited for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. This manufacturing partnership is meant to support scalable production, back ATLANT 3D's expansion into the U.S. market, and deliver a system that's ready for production use rather than just a lab prototype.
Dr. Maksym Plakhotnyuk, CEO and founder of ATLANT 3D, said AI is fundamentally changing how new materials get discovered, and that the next challenge is turning those discoveries into real-world technologies. He said that together with AIR, the company is introducing NANOFABRICATOR PRO to enable a new generation of self-driven platforms with built-in metrology, meaning integrated measurement and analysis capabilities. He said connecting AI-driven materials discovery, advanced manufacturing, and experimental validation allows computational predictions to be quickly translated into actual functional materials, while laying the groundwork for the company's broader Physical AI Infrastructure for Matter.
Bob Fung, president of Automated Industrial Robotics Silicon Valley, said industrializing breakthrough technologies requires deep expertise in building reliable, scalable platforms, and that the partnership between the two companies combines advanced engineering with U.S. manufacturing capabilities to deliver the NANOFABRICATOR PRO platform and support new frontiers for future industries.
Looking ahead, ATLANT 3D says its next goal is to build self-driving platform capabilities on top of NANOFABRICATOR PRO, incorporating integrated metrology and other processing capabilities. The company says it's actively seeking strategic partners across advanced technology fields to support its growth and help build what it describes as the next generation of Physical AI.
