Mighty Buildings raises $22M to accelerate carbon neutrality roadmap with 3D printing

Californian construction start-upMighty Buildings额外筹集了2200万美元的资金,使该公司迄今为止筹集的总资金达到了1亿美元。

该公司结合使用3D打印,机器人技术和先进的复合材料,以大规模创建可持续的住房选择。凭借其最新资金,强大的建筑将加速其碳中立性路线图,并进一步促进其战略供应链合作伙伴关系。

强大的建筑物的3D打印技术

自2017年以来,在其专有挤出的3D打印技术下进行了研发,强大的建筑于去年之后退出了隐身模式筹集了3000万美元的资金. The company used the funds to set up its Oakland factory and scale its production line, enabling it to 3D print 350 square foot units.

Mighty Buildings was reportedly the first 3D printing construction business or product to gain UL 3401 certification, an important construction safety qualification. The company’s proprietary 3D printing material is central to its extrusion-based production technique. The lightweight material is able to harden almost immediately after UV post-curing, while still maintaining cohesion with its underlying layers. The material’s freezing ability enables the creation of ceilings and overhangs without relying on any underlying support structures.

2月,强大的建筑物raised a further $40 millionin Series B funding which it has used to accelerate its growth, expand its team, and increase its production capacity and automation capabilities. The company is also creating a sustainability-focusedB2B developer platform, and the investment will help it to achieve its vision of providing production-as-a-service to architectural clients.

一个月后,该公司揭示了计划3D打印一个15个社区of eco-friendly homes at a five-acre site near Coachella Valley. The company will use its ‘Mighty Kit’ system to sustainably build the houses in a process that will supposedly eliminate 99 percent of construction waste.

That latest funding round

lat强大的建筑已经筹集了2200万美元est financing round, bringing the total raised by the firm to $100 million. The funding round saw participation from both existing and new investors, including the likes of ArcTern Ventures, Core Innovation Capital, Decacorn Capital, Gaingels, Khosla Ventures, Klaff Realty, MicroVentures, Modern Venture Partners, Polyvalent Capital, and Vibrato Capital, among others.

从本质上讲,强大的建筑将利用这些资金来增加其高通量可持续的微观企业的建筑,并建立更具战略性的供应链合作伙伴关系。这些资金还将帮助该公司加速其“蓝天”技术研究,并通过回收和基于生物的原料开发新的复合建筑材料。

该公司的目标是建立一个微型建筑工厂网络,该网络可能每年在存在住房差距的地方每年产生200-300户房屋。
