Additive Marking receives six-figure sum

Making components from the 3D printer forgery-proof - that is the mission of Additive Marking. To this end, the Paderborn-based company has now received capital from a group of business angels.

Additive Marking has closed a financing round for a six-figure sum. The existing investor Archimedes New Ventures and the Haver Business Angel Group of Ulrich Bastert, Volker Bastert, Eckard Heidloff, Horst Joepen, Arjen R. Klei and Reinhard Rabenstein have participated. The exact amount is not known in detail.

Additive Marking offers a process that makes components from 3D printers tamper-proof and traceable. To do so, the startup generates robust, machine-readable codes on manufactured products. In addition, the company, founded in 2018 by Ulrich Jahnke, Matthias Habdank and Philipp Alexander Bornefeld in Paderborn, offers software solutions, training and consulting for secured 3D printing processes.

With the capital from the financing round, Additive Marking aims to expand its project and consulting capabilities and increase sales. "In addition to the fresh capital, which enables us to open up new markets, we benefit in particular from the know-how within the circle of shareholders," says Ulrich Jahnke, co-founder of the start-up.
