This funding round highlights the strong confidence in Fortius Metals’ innovative approach to wire-based additive manufacturing and its potential to revolutionize the industry.
Fortius Metals is a large format additive manufacturing company that specializes in advanced materials, to help customers develop solutions previously not possible with robotic 3D printing. And Fortius Metals’ patented technology enables welding and wire additive manufacturing using high-performance metal alloys to meet the rigorous requirements of aerospace and defense customers. Fortius customers and partners include the Army, Navy, Air Force, and NASA, as well as several defense primes and commercial space companies.
These proprietary alloys developed by Fortius Metals offer up to twice the strength of current commercial solutions used in welding and 3D printing. And this provides customers with significant advantages in terms of design performance, product quality, and weight reduction. The company also provides robotic welding process expertise and proprietary predictive toolpaths that deliver dimensional accuracy, helping customers bring innovative designs to life with unmatched precision. The additional funding will help to accelerate these developments and enable Fortius to meet the timelines of customers who are eager to adopt this cutting-edge technology.
