The funding round was led by EDF Pulse Ventures, the corporate venture investment arm of the French energy leader EDF, with participation from ING Sustainable Investments and the continued support from existing investor PDENH. “We’re thrilled to have the support of such a strong consortium of investors as we enter this next growth phase,” said Gijs van der Velden, CEO of MX3D. “This investment will enable us to scale up our operations, further develop our technology, and bring the benefits of robotic metal 3D printing to even more industries worldwide.” MX3D’s advanced Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology offers a breakthrough alternative to traditional casting and forging methods for complex, high-value metal parts. The process cuts material waste by over 80%, delivering significant economic and environmental benefits. The Dutch company is executing a flawless growth strategy. First, it raised €2.25 million to launch the [M1 Metal AM System](https://www.voxelmatters.com/mx3d-commercial-launch-m1-robotic-metal-3d-printer/), its flagship product, which empowers companies to produce large and complex metal parts in-house. This new and larger funding round is intended to boost the scalability and adoption of MX3D technologies, leveraging the machine's capabilities to increase flexibility, slash costs, and reduce manufacturing lead times. ![MX3D secures €7 million in Series A funding to enhance its robotic metal 3D printing technology and expand internationally. ](https://www.voxelmatters.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/MX3D-M1-Metal-AM-System_Overview2-by-Merlin-Moritz-scaled.jpeg) With this strategic backing, MX3D will fast-track global deployment of its range of 3D printing Systems and expand its rapidly growing Print-on-Demand services. Trusted by leading organizations [including BMW Group](https://www.voxelmatters.com/bmw-group-adopts-waam-for-series-production/), Framatome, and the US Army, the company is already active in the Energy (Oil and Gas, Nuclear), Maritime, and Aerospace sectors and is now poised to scale into new industrial sectors. ## Scaling for the future To meet global demand, MX3D is also using this funding round to expand its Amsterdam facility with a new production hall equipped with six additional systems capable of printing up to 20 tonnes of metal parts. This expansion brings the company’s total number of systems to 15, including several systems dedicated to material innovation and the continued development of its proprietary MetalXL Software. On the commercial front, MX3D is expanding its global sales network with local partners through strategic partnerships. A recent collaboration with Phillips Corporation is set to accelerate adoption among US federal clients. Recent certifications, including ISO 9001 and a successful API 20S audit conducted by two major Oil & Gas players, further reinforce MX3D’s readiness to serve mission-critical industrial applications. ## Strategic backing Framatome, a worldwide nuclear leader for Nuclear Steam Supply System design, supply, construction, maintenance, and modernization, associated services (maintenance and IT security), as well as fuel design and fabrication, was among the first to adopt MX3D’s technology and sees it as a game-changer for nuclear manufacturing. ![MX3D secures €7 million in Series A funding to enhance its robotic metal 3D printing technology and expand internationally. ](https://www.voxelmatters.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/BMW_72_highRes_3d-printed-robot-gri.jpg)“Over the past three years, we have collaborated closely with MX3D to develop and validate the robotic metal 3D printing for our nuclear applications. MX3D technology has consistently demonstrated the reliability, repeatability, quality, performance, and flexibility necessary to meet our high standard requirements," said Mohamed ZOUARI, Senior Manager, Head of Framatome Advanced & Additive Manufacturing. "This partnership has laid a strong foundation of trust and innovation, and we’re excited to see how our support with EDF Group will introduce a new growth phase. We believe that MX3D solutions will play a key role in the future of industrial manufacturing.” With strong backing from EDF Pulse Ventures, PDENH, and ING, MX3D is uniquely positioned to reshape the future of industrial metal production. “EDF Pulse Ventures’ investment in MX3D demonstrates our commitment to fostering breakthrough technologies that support a carbon-neutral future. At EDF, we see several advantages to using metal additive manufacturing in our industry, including cost and lead time gains. That is why we are proud to contribute to MX3D global scaling,” said Julien Villeret, Chief Innovation Officer at EDF Group. As part of the investment, MX3D welcomes Michel Hunsicker (who represents EDF Pulse Ventures) and Tibor van Melsem Kocsis (who represents PDENH) to its Board of Directors. Their combined experience in venture capital, advanced manufacturing, and the energy sector will support MX3D’s next stage of growth
