8.25 million euros for Headmade Materials

The company from Unterpleichfeld combines plastic 3D printing with powder metallurgy. Headmade Materials has now convinced a new investor with its technology.

Headmade Materials has closed a Series A financing round of around 2.5 million euros. AM Ventures participated as lead investor, and existing investor Btov Industrial Technologies Fund also invested again. At the end of 2021, the 3D printing company was also able to secure funding of around 5.8 million euros from the EIC Accelerator Program of the Innovation Council of the European Union. This means that a total of 8.25 million euros is now flowing into Headmade Materials.

The company intends to use the capital to expand its production capacities and international sales. It also wants to further develop its "Cold Metal Fusion" 3D printing technology. The process combines plastic 3D printing with powder metallurgy. In this way, Headmade Materials enables its customers to mass produce metal components.

"With decades of experience in industrial 3D printing, AM Ventures is the perfect fit for us. Moreover, the interaction with our existing investor Btov Industrial Technologies Fund has already worked excellently elsewhere in additive manufacturing," says Headmade Materials co-founder and CEO Christian Staudigel.

Together with Christian Fischer, Marius Geldner and Christian Fink, he founded Headmade Materials in 2019 out of the SKZ research institute near Würzburg. In its first round of financing in 2020, the company received €1.4 million from Btov partners.
