MX3D, a pioneer in robotic metal 3D printing technology, has raised €7 million in a Series A funding round to accelerate its international growth. 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.
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 more than 80%, delivering significant economic and environmental benefits.
MX3D’s flagship product is the M1 Metal AM System, which empowers companies to bring production of large and complex metal parts in-house. This boosts flexibility, slashes costs, and reduces significant manufacturing lead times.
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, 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 expanding 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.
With strong backing from EDF Pulse Ventures, PDENH, and ING, MX3D is uniquely positioned to reshape the future of industrial metal production.
We’re thrilled to have the support of such a strong consortium of investors as we enter this next growth phase. 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.”
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.
Over the past three years, we have been closely collaborating with MX3D to develop and validate the robotic metal 3D printing for our nuclear applications. MX3D technology has consistently demonstrated the reliable, repeatable, quality, performance, and flexibility that are necessary to meet our high standard requirements. 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 phase of growth. We believe that MX3D solutions will play a key role in the future of industrial manufacturing.
Governance Update
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.
