Dirac Raises $10.7M to Automate Manufacturing Knowledge Transfer with AI-Powered BuildOS

American manufacturing faces a critical knowledge crisis as factories return home through reshoring efforts. While the U.S. produces just 1.5 submarines per year, China manufactures over 10 monthly, highlighting the urgent need to modernize production processes that still rely on printed PDFs, outdated SOPs, and tribal knowledge locked in retiring technicians' heads. Dirac addresses this challenge with BuildOS, an AI-powered platform that automatically generates high-quality, animated, interactive work instructions for complex mechanical assemblies directly from CAD files.
