At Re:Build, our mission is to ensure the next generation of important products are made, at scale, in America. We are laying the foundation for a better future for our customers, employees, and communities by revitalizing America's manufacturing base and creating meaningful jobs across the country, including in historically deindustrialized regions. 

We operate an advanced, end-to-end manufacturing platform that partners with industrial companies and innovators to take products from first concept to full-scale production in critical verticals including aerospace and defense, electrification, medical, energy and environment, and robotics and automation. 

The way we operate is as important as the work we do. It's guided by The Re:Build Way, 16 principles that shape how we collaborate with each other, partner with our customers and vendors, and contribute to the communities where we operate. (link to The Re:Build Way principles) 

About Re:CAM 

Re:CAM is developing AI-powered software and manufacturing operations to radically optimize how manufacturers move from engineering information to finished parts. Built within Re:Build Manufacturing, we combine manufacturing expertise with software engineering and applied AI to address practical challenges on the manufacturing floor. 

Our software automates the development of CNC machining strategies, allowing teams to go from engineering models and drawings to complete machining strategies and G-code in seconds. We take a ground-up, end-to-end approach to software development and plant operations, resulting in a step change in plant productivity.
