3D Spark, a B2B Manufacturing and Procurement SaaS startup, has raised €2 million in seed funding to speed up its growth within the additive manufacturing house. The spherical was led by Swedish investor Triplefair, with extra help from current traders Fraunhofer Technologie-Switch Fonds (FTTF) and Innovationsstarter Fonds Hamburg (IFH). The funding indicators rising confidence in 3D Spark’s platform, which allows data-driven decision-making in industrial 3D printing.
The brand new funding will enable 3D Spark to broaden its platform by including extra typical manufacturing strategies, together with casting, milling, and sheet metallic fabrication, making a extra complete and technology-agnostic answer. Enhancements to {the marketplace} function will even enhance connections between enterprises and certified suppliers, streamlining RFQ administration. Furthermore, the funding will help staff progress via strategic hires in technical experience, gross sales, and buyer success, all geared toward assembly rising demand and enhancing the shopper onboarding course of.
“This funding marks a key milestone for 3D Spark. With the backing of our traders, we’re well-positioned to proceed remodeling industrial element manufacturing and procurement,” stated Fritz Lange, Co-founder and CEO of 3D Spark. “We’re significantly targeted on increasing our know-how protection and enhancing our platform capabilities to handle the complete spectrum of producing resolution challenges.”
Complete Manufacturing Choice Platform
3D Spark’s AI-driven platform is designed to simplify advanced manufacturing selections. It affords key options similar to manufacturability evaluation, exact price estimation, good quoting with indicative market pricing from certified suppliers, and CO₂ footprint monitoring. The platform helps over 15 manufacturing applied sciences, together with each additive and traditional processes, and covers a variety of supplies like metals, polymers, and ceramics.
In a press launch, 3D Spark defined that the flexibility of the platform has allowed it to grow to be the go-to answer for main firms like Alstom, Deutsche Bahn, ÖBB, and Siemens Mobility, driving effectivity, lowering prices, and advancing sustainability in manufacturing and procurement.
“Manufacturing digitalization is accelerating, however most options tackle solely remoted elements of the worth chain. 3D Spark’s complete platform uniquely combines design evaluation, multi-technology manufacturing evaluation, and procurement optimization in a single built-in answer. This holistic strategy is the place we see super potential for manufacturing enterprises globally,” stated Robin Larsson, Managing Director at Triplefair.
Different Strategic Funding Raises
In April, amsight, a German startup targeted on data-driven course of optimization, accomplished a pre-seed funding spherical. The spherical included contributions from 5 traders: MBG Schleswig-Holstein and enterprise angels Michael Wohlmuth, Alexander Flamboe, Andreas Berkau, and Michael Jonker. The funding will help the enlargement of amsight’s gross sales and product growth groups, in addition to efforts to scale its platform and enter new markets. A second closing is deliberate, with participation open to traders with related expertise in industrial digitalization and AM applied sciences.
In 2024, Aridditive, a Barcelona-based startup specializing in 3D printing of precast concrete, efficiently closed a €500,000 Pre-Seed funding spherical, led by BeAble Capital with participation from Suma Capital. The corporate, which spun off from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and CIM UPC, goals to drive digitalization, automation, and sustainability throughout the development sector.
With this contemporary funding and extra help from ACCIÓ’s Startup Capital, Aridditive plans to advance its concrete 3D printing know-how, promising to rework conventional development processes.
