Hyperganic receives 7.8 million US dollars

In 2011, Lin Kayser sold his successful start-up Iridas to Adobe; with his new company, he wants to revolutionize 3D printing.

If you want to print precisely, you have to manage a lot of data. The software provider for 3D printing Hyperganic receives 7.8 million US dollars in its very first financing round. The round is led by Vsquared Ventures and HV Capital. Jewelry manufacturer Swarovski is also involved with a strategic investment, as are US investor Converge and investor Hermann Hauser.

"We are thrilled that Lin and his team at Hyperganic are bringing together a strong group of investors to support a common goal with Swarovski, namely to drive sustainable production for a sustainable future," says Graham Hench, Head of Innovation at the jewelry manufacturer.

3D printing needs to become more precise and faster, says the founder of Lin Kayser's Hyperganic plan. His idea has now become a reality, with paying customers in the aerospace, medical technology and consumer goods sectors. Kayser plans to use the money to scale the platform and grow the team from 22 to 60 employees by the end of the year. Hyperganic was launched in 2017. The start-up's software completely rethinks 3D printing by precisely planning every tiny printable element instead of the previous method of lining up squares. The plans are designed by an AI, only the function of the objects is developed by the engineer.
