CEO and co-founder Lukas Czinger stops by TWiST to share the company’s vertically integrated, AI-driven manufacturing platform and how he transitioned from hypercar parts to working directly with the Pentagon on autonomous aircraft. Plus, 50 million Americans are on antidepressants, and it’s not necessarily the right treatment for all of them.
