Headmade Materials secures €1.9 million from the Industrial Technologies Fund of btov Partners.

Headmade Materials, a Würzburg, Germany-based manufacturer of a metal 3D printing process called ‘cold metal fusion’, announced securing a €1.9 million ($2.2M) capital investment round.

The money was provided by the Industrial Technologies Fund of btov Partners.

Headmade Materials, founded in 2019 as a spin-off from the Würzburg-based polymer research institute SKZ by CEO Christian Staudigel, developed a technology using 3D printing for producing metal parts in a more affordable manner, using low-cost 3D printers and standard materials already available on the market. This allows customers to scale from a very capital-efficient entry point to this technology all the way to very high production output.

The company not only offers patented sinter-based cold metal fusion (CMF) technology to its customers, but also encourages them to consider new ways to design and manufacture with 3D printing technology—while still falling back on conventional methods as needed.
