Italian advanced manufacturing company ROBOZE has taken over key assets from Dimanex, a Dutch software platform that entered bankruptcy proceedings earlier this year, in a deal that it says will knit together physical production and digital inventory management more closely.
According to ROBOZE, the acquisition folds Dimanex’s technology into its existing software stack, including Pandora and SlizeR, with the aim of building a more distributed manufacturing system for sectors...

such as maritime, defence, oil and gas, and aerospace. Those industries often struggle with long lead times and the difficulty of sourcing obsolete or low-volume parts, making spare-part availability a persistent operational problem.
Alessio Lorusso, ROBOZE’s chief executive, said the company is moving beyond machines sold as standalone assets towards what he described as an intelligent, connected manufacturing system. In comments published by 3D Printing Industry, he said the combined platform is intended to bring “physical AI” into production settings, allowing machines to operate as part of a wider network rather than as isolated units.
The acquisition is designed to support several layers of automation, including autonomous adjustment of production parameters, data sharing across sites, cloud-based coordination between digital workflows and factory output, and the conversion of warehouse stock into digital libraries that can be produced on demand elsewhere. In practical terms, that would allow a part to be identified, qualified and manufactured through a single connected workflow.
ROBOZE argues that the move addresses a broader weakness in industrial supply chains: the disconnect between digital files and the certified production systems needed to turn them into usable components at scale. TCT Magazine also reported that the company sees the deal as a way to strengthen its distributed manufacturing offering, while EngTechnica said the platform is intended to coordinate machines, factories and cloud workflows as part of a wider network for digital spare parts.
The acquisition comes as other companies push similar ideas. Würth Additive Group unveiled its Digital Inventory Services platform at AMUG 2025, and NAMI has worked with Saudi Electricity Company on a digital spare-parts system supported by additive manufacturing. Together, those efforts point to a growing industry focus on replacing static physical inventories with searchable digital part libraries and local production networks.
ROBOZE has also been broadening its presence in strategic markets. The company recently announced investment from Rule 1 Ventures to support its distributed manufacturing ambitions in defence and critical infrastructure, and in February it said it was opening a US aerospace and defence headquarters in El Segundo, underlining its focus on sectors where supply-chain resilience is increasingly seen as a strategic issue.
