Sheet just got real.
Most sheet metal programs stall somewhere between prototype and production. Unit costs creep up, tooling decisions stall on complexity, and suddenly you're in bridge production longer than anyone planned.
Progressive stamping is the way out—stable output, better unit economics, tooling built for your geometry from day one.
Fictiv runs the whole program: dies, secondary ops, supply chain.
One workflow. Repeat orders.

We hosted our first-ever Physical AI Summit last week. 200+ builders, one day in SF. Real conversations about what it takes to bring AI into the physical world.
Here's how it went... 👀
Last week, we hosted IMPRINT, our inaugural Physical AI Summit!
200+ builders, founders, and investors. One day talking about what it actually takes to bring AI into the physical world.
Thanks to everyone who came out!
We are LIVE at our inaugural Physical AI summit, IMPRINT. 🎉
The community showed up. Amazing speakers, great conversations, and yes, a coffee barista on deck. More to come...

Boston, you didn't disappoint! 🤖
The @Robotics_Summit brought together the people building what's next in the industry, and the energy showed. Great conversations all around, and a great session led by our VP of Business Development, Steve Ricketts.
The future of robotics is being built right now, and we're proud to be part of it.

Finding the right material used to mean:
spec sheets, supplier tabs, forum threads, repeat. 🫠
Now you can just ask.
https://t.co/dJtmHSb50c helps engineers navigate material selection across plastics and metals using Fictiv’s manufacturing expertise and material database.
Built for the “6061 or 7075?” moments. ⚙️

Boston, we’ll be at @Robotics_Summit next week! 🤖
Find us at Booth #329, and join Steve Ricketts, VP of Business Development, for:
“Emergent Robotics: AI at the Edge of Hardware Innovation”
🗓 May 27 @ 4:15 PM
📍 Room 254 A
We’ll be talking about how robotics teams are connecting engineering, sourcing, prototyping, and manufacturing workflows to move faster from concept to production.
Stop by and say hi.

A very good week to be in hardware in SF 🌁
Great two days at @hardwarefyi's inaugural Kinetic event—from the booth, to Dave Evans’ fireside chat, to our customer panel with @shapertools, @Zipline, @Carbon, and @energyx, plus the Fictiv popsicle stand 🍦
Highlights below ↓
On paper, hardware development looks linear: EVT → DVT → PVT.
But great hardware teams know the process needs to evolve with the product, manufacturing risk, and pace of development.
We partnered with @hardwarefyi on a free guide to modern stage-gate development.
🏭 Frameworks beyond traditional EVT–DVT–PVT
⚡ Reducing risk without slowing innovation
🔁 Combining iteration with rigorous validation

Last week we celebrated our first Founder’s Club at Fictiv with some of our top sellers and team members.
A great chance to recognize the people driving so much of the momentum across the business right now.
Big thanks to our team and our partners at MISUMI Americas 🚀
