Components made
for your robot.

Formscale is a California manufacturer of custom robotics components for teams building robots. We design and manufacture actuators, batteries, and sensors around the needs of your machine.

01 / Motion

Actuators

Actuators turn power into controlled movement. Formscale builds actuators customized to your robotic system.

Start the conversation with your torque, speed, packaging, and interface requirements.

Explore the FS-TS1 tabletop arm and its base / shoulder, arm / elbow and wrist actuators.

03 / Vision

Sensors

Sensing gives a robot information about its environment. Formscale’s sensor category extends beyond cameras to sensing needs such as lidar.

Share what your robot needs to perceive, its operating environment, and its integration requirements.

From small runs to scale.

We support small-quantity builds with a path to scaled production. Components are customized to your system and manufactured in California by people who understand the whole machine.

Our team brings experience from Figure, Cruise, The Bot Company, Nuro, Microsoft, Tesla, and Northrop Grumman. Meet the people behind Formscale.

From requirements to a build.

  1. Tell us what needs to work.Share the component, performance requirements, interfaces, quantity, and target delivery date. Include CAD or drawings if you have them.
  2. Start with the right scope.Discuss a sample or small run, then agree on specifications, pricing, and a delivery schedule for your build.
  3. Plan for what comes next.Let us know your expected production volumes so the component can grow with your robot.

Before you get started.

Can I request samples or a small quantity?

Yes—ask us about a sample or small-quantity build for your application. Availability, minimum quantity, pricing, and timing are confirmed for each request.

How quickly can you respond and build?

We aim to respond to new inquiries within 24 hours. Manufacturing lead time depends on the component, specifications, and quantity; share your required date so we can confirm a build schedule.

Do I need a finished design to get in touch?

No. Start with what your robot needs to do, the space available, and its interfaces. If you already have CAD, drawings, or a specification, include those with your inquiry.

What do you need to build?

Send your component requirements, quantity, and target delivery date. Tell us if you’re looking for a sample, a small run, or production.
