这项资金回合是在上个月公告中宣布Printerprezz Inc.及其子公司Vertex Manufacturing已将其改名为Zeda Inc.的品牌。该公司声称,此新名称反映了其“ Z到A”方法一个产品。据说Zeda还代表了过去五年来,通过将先进的制造过程与半导体技术相结合而实现的强度和进步。Shetty说:“ Zeda反映了我们来自哪里,我们今天的位置以及我们打算去的地方。”

Now possessing 140,000 square feet across multiple facilities in Silicon Valley, California, New Jersey, Ohio, and Singapore, Zeda has grown through the strategic acquisition of companies such as Vertex. “This is the next chapter in our growth”, said Zeda CTO, and Vertex founder, Greg Morris. “As one brand, we are in a stronger position to leverage the full capabilities of both companies more effectively”.

Although initially founded to address the evolving needs of the orthopedic devices industry, Zeda has now expanded to partner with companies in a variety of sectors. CEO Shetty has explained how they soon realized that combining advanced technologies from the semiconductor industry with manufacturing processes such as 3D printing “could revolutionize not just healthcare but advancements in the space, defense, semiconductor, and aerospace industries”.
