Smart Molding International 2-2020

18 newsfeed smart_molding international 2/2020 The COVID-19 pandem - ic showed in almost any industry that traditional supply chains are under pressure and many even failed. Digital manufactur - ing got into the spotlight as a solution for that. This is certainly one reason why the Munich-based tech company DyeMansion se - cured $14M funding even in times like these from new and existing investors, who support their mission. The new funds raise the company’s total funding to $24M. To make 3D-printed prod - ucts a part of our everyday life, there are still some challenges to overcome. The industrial and automat - ed post-processing of 3D- printed parts is one of the key drivers on this journey. With its unique three-step Print-to-Product workflow, DyeMansion helps users of industrial 3D-printing to turn their raw plastic parts into high-value products. Its high-end post-process - ing equipment is used by over 600 customers world - wide including companies like BMW, Daimler, Under Armour, or Jabil. With 46 production and sales part - ners worldwide, DyeMan - sion has recently launched the world's largest post- processing platform for in - dustrial 3D-printing and is leading post-processing in terms of finishing quality, automation and industrial - ization. “We are super happy to have Nordic Alpha Partners on board for our growth journey. They are a perfect fit for the current phase we are in with DyeMansion. Their unique approach and expertise will help us to further strengthen our po - sition as a global industrial leader. It makes us proud that all our existing inves - tors are continuing with their support as well. This will help us and our custom - ers worldwide to drive the transformation of manufac - turing to digital production and the factory of the fu - ture,” tells Felix, CEO & co- founder of DyeMansion. The new funds will be used to speed up the shift to digital manufacturing in all matters. On the organi - zational side, the funding will further strengthen Dye - Mansion’s global presence and fulfillment capabilities via new demo facilities, regional application con - sultants and commercial business infrastructures. The aim: Enabling global accounts, local customers and partners to get started with 3D-printing or move to the next level of serial manufacturing with their application and factories almost anywhere. “At Nordic Alpha Partners (NAP) we strive to invest in the technology leaders spearheading the industrial transformation, but it is rare that we come across a com - pany like DyeMansion that is not only clear category leader, but with a position that is truly accelerating the transformation,” states Lau - rits Bach Sørensen, Value- Creation Partner at NAP and he is followed by Rasmus Lund, Investment Partner at NAP “Great companies can always get funding and furthermore we believe that Covid-19 will be an accelerator of the 3D-print adoption, so we are thrilled that the management team and the other investors both embraced NAP’s value creation model and allowed us to join DyeMansion’s mission.” Chief Venture Officer of AM Ventures, Arno Held, states: "We at AM Ventures are very proud to have been part of the DyeMan - sion success story from the very beginning. 6 years ago, we jointly realized the great potential of post-pro - cessing 3D-printed parts. Since then, this unique team has not only created its own segment within the AM industry. DyeMansion has unlocked the gate to colorful and aesthetic 3D printed applications in nu - merous verticals with man - ufacturing volumes beyond imagination."
