Robin Larsson, Managing Director, Triplefair: "Manufacturing digitalization is accelerating, but most solutions address only isolated parts of the value chain. 3D Spark's comprehensive platform uniquely combines design analysis, multi-technology manufacturing assessment, and procurement optimization in one integrated solution. This holistic approach is where we see tremendous potential for manufacturing enterprises globally."

Jörg Wamser, Managing Director, FTTF: "Over the past two years, we've watched 3D Spark customers achieve remarkable results - reducing component costs and cutting procurement cycles from weeks to days. 3D Spark’s data-driven approach to manufacturing decision-making represents exactly the kind of technological innovation FTTF aims to support. Plus the company’s vision to now incorporate conventional manufacturing technologies alongside additive manufacturing significantly expands its market potential."

Future Plans and Strategic Growth

"This funding marks a significant milestone for 3D Spark. With the combined expertise and support of our investors, we're better positioned than ever to achieve our vision of simplifying and revolutionizing industrial component manufacturing and procurement." said Fritz Lange, Co-founder & CEO of 3D Spark. "We're particularly focused on expanding our technology coverage and enhancing our platform capabilities to address the full spectrum of manufacturing decision challenges."

The newly secured funding will accelerate 3D Spark’s growth through several strategic initiatives. On the product front, the company will expand its technology coverage to include broader conventional manufacturing methods like casting, milling, sheet metal fabrication, etc. thereby establishing a truly technology-agnostic platform. Enhancements to their marketplace feature will bridge the gap between enterprises and their qualified suppliers by showing instant indicative supplier pricing for seamless RFQ management, dramatically streamlining procurement efforts.
