LimitlessCNC, an Israeli startup offering an AI-powered manufacturing startup, has officially launched from stealth mode after securing a $4.1 million seed round led by Grove Ventures and Meron Capital. The company is pioneering AI-driven automation for CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, a trillion-dollar industry grappling with severe labor shortages. By leveraging intelligent AI agents, LimitlessCNC aims to streamline production, reduce costs, and enhance efficiency in precision manufacturing.
Global manufacturing is experiencing a profound transformation driven by geopolitical instability, workforce limitations, and a push for reshoring, explains Limitless. Western nations, aiming to secure critical supply chains in aerospace, defense, semiconductors, and industrial equipment, are actively reducing their dependence on overseas production. LimitlessCNC directly addresses these challenges by revolutionizing CNC programming through automation and acceleration.
Faced with a diminishing pool of skilled machinists, factories can significantly boost operational efficiency with LimitlessCNC’s technology. Unlike traditional AI models focused on language, LimitlessCNC employs sophisticated physics-based AI. This allows for the analysis of complex machining processes and the generation of optimized toolpaths. Manufacturers can achieve up to an 80% reduction in CNC programming time, effectively eliminating a major production bottleneck.

LimitlessCNC was founded by David Priev (CEO), Assaf Peleg (CTO), and Shahaf Finder (Chief Scientist), a team with deep expertise in AI, precision manufacturing, and defense technologies. Priev and Peleg are veterans of Unit 81, the Israeli military’s elite technological unit, specializing in advanced engineering solutions. Finder, a PhD candidate and a prominent researcher in machine learning (ML) and Deep Learning at Ben-Gurion University, brings cutting-edge AI research to the company’s core technology.
The idea for LimitlessCNC emerged during the early days of the Israel-Hamas war when Priev, still serving in the military reserves, was tasked with rapidly manufacturing critical components for frontline troops. The experience exposed the inefficiencies in traditional CNC programming and reinforced the need for AI-driven automation.
“If you think about it, every product we know involves machined parts created using human-written programs, and there is vast room for improvement,” said David Priev, CEO of LimitlessCNC. “From engine components in our cars to the uniquely crafted metal bodies of Apple products, the potential to reduce production time and lower costs is enormous. This is a well-established industry with a trillion-dollar annual market for machined parts.”
LimitlessCNC’s AI-powered platform integrates seamlessly with existing CAM softwares, making it easy for manufacturers to adopt without extensive retraining. The company empowers manufacturers to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global landscape by dramatically reducing programming times and automating decision-making.
Despite being in its early stages, LimitlessCNC has already been deployed at a Tier-1 Western industrial equipment manufacturer operating over 100 CNC machines. The implementation of LimitlessCNC’s AI-driven solution has resulted in significant reductions in programming time, enabling faster delivery to end customers.
