Launched RapidPrint, an AI-designed polymer engineered to replace aluminum in additive manufacturing and supercharge 3D printing speed.

Aether Biomachines is an artificial intelligence company that specializes in discovering and engineering proteins for industrial and environmental applications. At the core of its technology is a proprietary Protein Function Model, which is trained on in-house data generated through high-throughput robotic experimentation. By using this model to navigate chemical possibilities, the company designs proteins that act as molecular assemblers, capable of performing tasks such as synthesizing advanced materials, capturing carbon dioxide, breaking down persistent chemicals, and refining critical minerals with higher precision than traditional methods.

The company’s solutions aim to modernize manufacturing and infrastructure by offering more sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective alternatives to conventional chemical processes. Aether’s commercial portfolio includes high-performance materials like its RapidPrint and Ultra additive manufacturing series, which provide faster printing speeds and increased durability for sectors including defense and aerospace. By translating breakthrough protein science into practical, scalable industrial products, Aether seeks to reduce reliance on complex global supply chains and enhance domestic manufacturing capabilities for national security and economic growth.
