VulcanForms has completed an oversubscribed Series D financing round worth $220 million. The capital will accelerate the expansion of integrated US manufacturing sites that combine metal 3D printing, precision machining, automation, testing, and AI software in an end-to-end workflow. The goal: fewer interfaces, shorter lead times, and more robust supply chains for critical industries.
In metal manufacturing, additive processes, heat treatment, machining, surface finishing, inspection, and documentation are often split across multiple service providers. Every handoff extends lead times, increases the risk of deviations, and complicates traceability because process and measurement data must be consolidated across system boundaries. At the same time, resilient supply chains are gaining importance as trade policy and geopolitical risks influence sourcing.
“American manufacturers need a domestic alternative that can compete with global production at scale with superior speed and precision,” said Kevin Kassekert, CEO of VulcanForms. “This financing enables us to meet surging demand and expand our role as a critical partner to companies rebuilding resilient domestic supply chains.”
VulcanForms is therefore focusing on integrated, digitally controlled sites in the USA. There, the company combines metal additive manufacturing with precision machining, automation, and inspection in an end-to-end workflow orchestrated by proprietary, AI-powered software. The goal is to consolidate manufacturing data from printing, post-processing, and quality inspection into a continuous process history, thereby reducing scrap and rework. The new funds are intended to finance expansion of these capacities as well as execution of the technology roadmap and materials-related research and development.
According to the company, VulcanForms now supports high-volume programs in areas such as medical technology, consumer goods, aerospace, defense, and industry.
“1789 Capital is thrilled to support VulcanForms, a company revitalizing America’s industrial strength and sharply reducing our dependence on foreign suppliers,” said Omeed Malik, President of 1789 Capital. “By restoring high-skilled manufacturing jobs to American soil, VulcanForms is helping to drive the next great chapter of American prosperity.”
“Rebuilding America’s industrial capacity requires bold engineering and the ability to manufacture at scale, and VulcanForms has proven it can deliver both,” said Greg Reichow, Partner at Eclipse. “Their platform brings production of mission critical components back onshore with unmatched precision, speed, and reliability. Eclipse is proud to back a team that is delivering real industrial output today while shaping the future of American manufacturing.”
Whether the model holds up will be measured by stable unit costs, auditable quality data, and reproducible series capability across the additive process chain.
