MX3D, a Netherlands-based company specializing in robotic metal 3D printing, has raised €7 million in Series A funding to accelerate its international expansion. The funding round was led by EDF Pulse Ventures, the investment arm of the French energy company EDF, with contributions from ING Sustainable Investments and continued backing from existing investor PDENH.
The company’s innovative wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technology offers an alternative to traditional casting and forging methods, enabling the production of complex, high-value metal parts. WAAM reduces material waste by over 80%, delivering both economic and environmental benefits. MX3D’s flagship product, the M1 Metal AM System, allows businesses to produce large, intricate metal parts in-house, improving flexibility, lowering costs, and drastically cutting manufacturing lead times.
Expanding Global Reach
MX3D plans to use the funding to speed up the global deployment of its 3D printing systems and grow its ‘print-on-demand’ services. The company is already collaborating with major organizations like BMW Group, Framatome, and the US Army, and is active in sectors such as energy, maritime, and aerospace. MX3D is now eyeing expansion into new industries.
To meet rising global demand, MX3D is expanding its Amsterdam facility, adding a new production hall with six more systems. This will bring the company’s total to 15 systems, some of which are focused on material innovation and the further development of its proprietary MetalXL Software. Additionally, MX3D is growing its international sales network by partnering with local companies.
A notable partnership with Phillips Corp is designed to speed up adoption of MX3D’s technology among U.S. federal clients. The company’s credentials are further strengthened by certifications such as ISO 9001 and a successful API 20S audit by two major oil and gas companies, confirming MX3D’s ability to support mission-critical industrial applications.
