Los Angeles-based design, engineering, and metal additive manufacturing (AM) leader 3DEO announced a strategic investment from Mizuho Bank, a Japan-headquartered global financial institution committed to fostering innovation and sustainability. This funding emphasizes Mizuho’s dedication to advancing the adoption of AM technologies and supporting 3DEO’s efforts to unlock new product design and development opportunities.
Mizuho Bank’s $3.5 million investment in 3DEO highlights a vision for the future of manufacturing, especially in utilizing 3DEO’s proprietary Intelligent Layering technology and expertise in Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM). This strategic investment follows Mizuho Bank’s Transition Investment Facility, which aims to promote sustainability and innovation in various sectors.
Earlier this year, 3DEO has announced investments from IHI Aerospace, the Development Bank of Japan (DBJ), and Seiko Epson Corporation. Mizuho Bank’s involvement further enhances 3DEO’s capabilities and continues to accelerate collaboration with DBJ and Epson.
Launched in 2016, 3DEO has developed a robust, end-to-end production process technology, which provides comprehensive design and manufacturing services for high-precision metal parts. With this funding, 3DEO aims to expand its reach in sectors such as aerospace, medical, industrial and semiconductors, furthering its mission to empower customers to scale unique products through innovation and design.
Mizuho Bank – through a Transition Investment Facility – strategically invests in projects that contribute to environmental and social sustainability. And this partnership with 3DEO exemplifies Mizuho’s commitment to supporting technologies that address critical challenges in manufacturing and beyond.
