High-temperature industrial 3D printer manufacturerRoboze和加拿大3D打印粉末生产商Equispheres两者都收到了价值数百万美元的资金公告，以推进各自的业务。
While Roboze hasn’t revealed the exact amount of capital it has secured, the firm will use the latest investment to further accelerate its growth in the US and aid the development of a new “super material” in its Italian R&D center.
Equispheres, meanwhile, will use the $3.5 million it received from the安大略省南部的联邦经济发展局(FEDDEV) to ramp up the production of its metal powder materials for 3D printing.
确保新投资者
Alongside its high-temperature FFF 3D printers, Roboze is known for the development of its ‘superpolymer’ ultra-rigid thermoplastic 3D printing materials, such as carbon PA and carbon PEEK. Last year, the company brought its customized superpolymer and composite 3D printing into the production workflow via its机器人自动化系统, following the roll-out of its3D Parts distributed 3D printing serviceaimed at helping businesses streamline their supply chains and reduce their costs.
In October, the firm launched itscircular economy programfor waste material and 3D printed parts in an effort to simultaneously reduce its environmental impact and democratize its 3D printing technology.
Now, Roboze is looking to accelerate its momentum in the US and increase its investment in R&D with its newly-accrued funding.
Roboze’s latest investment comes from a new group of international investors that includes well-known names such asNova Capital,Lagfin， 以前的卢森蒂卡首席执行官Andrea Guerra，花旗EMEA主席Luigi de Vecchi，The Equity Club首席执行官罗伯特·Feraresi,Galileo SpacCEO Luca Giacometti, andTecres SpaCEO Denis Faccioli.
“This further fundraising will accelerate our momentum in the United States and will enhance our investments in Research and Development,” said Alessio Lorusso, Founder and CEO of Roboze. “Specifically, the funding will assist in the creation of new super material in our Italian R&D center, where we are building a new chemistry laboratory.
“We are honored to have a group of investors of this caliber, who strongly believe in the vision of Roboze and in the change of production paradigm that our technology is enabling by replacing metals and producing parts without wasting raw materials.”
加速粉末材料生产
Equispheres, meanwhile, is renowned for its patent-pending method of powder atomization that produces near-perfect spherical metal powders.
在过去的几年中，该公司收到了多次投资，以开发和改善其用于添加剂制造的金属粉末材料。雷电竞充值这样的投资包括$5 million financing来自全球航空航天和国防公司Lockheed Martin, an800万美元提升从BDC Capital, and afurther $8 million从Sustainable Development Technology Canadato scale its material production capacity.
该公司最近的资金以350万美元的偿还捐款形式从FedDev偿还了促进Equispheres，以增加其未申请专利的铝3D打印粉末的生产，通过在线带来其他高速反应堆。
Equispheres首席执行官Kevin Nicholds说：“ Equispheres金属粉末具有独特的特性，可以更快地生产更强大，更轻质，更可靠的3D印刷零件。”“这一贡献将使我们能够扩大生产过程，并利用3D打印领域中成倍增长的机会。”
Three new reactors are expected to come online in 2022 in order to scale up the firm’s production capacity to meet surging market demand.
“We are grateful for the Government of Canada’s strong leadership on climate action and programs that support this kind of cleantech innovation,” said Nicholds.
“This significant investment by FEDDEV will support the next steps in our growth: working with partners in the automotive, aerospace and defense sectors to qualify our materials for industrial applications.”
