High-temperature industrial 3D printer manufacturer机器人and Canadian 3D printing powder producerequisphereshave both received funding announcements worth several million to advance their respective businesses.
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.
同时，Equispheres将使用从从Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario（FedDev）增加其金属粉末材料的生产，用于3D打印。
Securing new investors
在其高温FFF 3D打印机外，Roboze以其“超级刚毛”超刚性热塑性3D打印材料（例如Carbon PA和Carbon Peek）的开发而闻名。去年，该公司将其自定义的超级聚合物和复合3D打印带入了生产工作流程机器人Automate system，，，，following the roll-out of its3D Parts distributed 3D printing service旨在帮助企业简化其供应链并降低成本。
10月，该公司推出了循环经济计划对于废物和3D印刷零件，以同时减少其环境影响并将其3D打印技术民主化。
现在，Roboze希望加快其在美国的势头，并通过新近获取的资金增加对研发的投资。
Roboze的最新投资来自一组新的国际投资者，其中包括众所周知的名称，例如Nova Capital，，，，拉格芬，，，，formerLuxotticaCEO Andrea Guerra,CitiEMEA Chairman Luigi De Vecchi,股票俱乐部首席执行官罗伯特·Feraresi,Galileo SPACCEO Luca Giacometti, andTecres SPACEO Denis Faccioli.
Roboze的创始人兼首席执行官Alessio Lorusso表示：“这种进一步的筹款将加快我们在美国的势头，并将增强我们在研发方面的投资。”“具体来说，资金将有助于在我们的意大利研发中心创建新的超级材料，我们正在建造一个新的化学实验室。
“我们很荣幸能有一群具有这种能力的投资者，他们坚信机器人的愿景以及生产范式的变化，我们的技术正在通过更换金属和生产零件而不会浪费原材料来实现。”
Accelerating powder materials production
同时，Equispheres以其纯粹的粉末雾化方法而闻名，该方法会产生接近完美的球形金属粉末。
The firm has received multiple investments over the last few years to develop and improve its metal powder materials for additive manufacturing. Such investments include a500万美元的融资from global aerospace and defense company洛克希德·马丁， 一个$8 million boostfromBDC资本，a进一步800万美元from可持续发展技术加拿大to scale its material production capacity.
The firm’s most recent funding has been delivered in the form of a $3.5 million repayable contribution from FEDDEV to enable Equispheres to ramp up the production of its patent-pending aluminum 3D printing powders by bringing additional high-speed reactors online.
“Equispheres metal powders have unique properties that enable faster production of stronger, lighter and more reliable 3D printed parts,” said Kevin Nicholds, Equispheres CEO. “This contribution will allow us to scale up our production process and take advantage of an exponentially growing opportunity in the 3D printing space.”
预计将在2022年在线上线，以扩大公司的生产能力，以满足市场需求的激增。
“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.
“ Feddev的这一重大投资将支持我们增长的下一步：与汽车，航空航天和国防部的合作伙伴合作，以使我们的工业应用材料符合资格。”
