Angstrom Group, a leading full-service supplier to automotive and industrial OEMs, acquires Mantle, a San Francisco–based leader in metal 3D printing for tooling. This acquisition will expand Mantle’s reach and accelerate the adoption of its automated toolmaking technology across global manufacturing markets.
“With Mantle now part of the Angstrom family, our goal is clear—to industrialize this breakthrough metal additive technology and make it broadly accessible,” said Nagesh Palakurthi, Founder and CEO of Angstrom Group. “By offering financing solutions and integrated tool design services, we will help customers adopt and benefit from advanced metal 3D printing—transforming manufacturing at scale.”
The acquisition represents a significant milestone for both organizations, aligning Mantle’s groundbreaking metal additive manufacturing system with Angstrom Group’s deep industry expertise and diverse portfolio of manufacturing-focused companies. Together, the two companies aim to deliver new efficiencies and create opportunities for molders, moldmakers, and OEMs worldwide.
“This is a very exciting day for Mantle and our customers. The Angstrom Group has a stellar reputation in the manufacturing industry, and by combining forces, Mantle will be able to further our mission of revolutionizing toolmaking for plastic part manufacturers globally,” said Ted Sorom, Mantle’s CEO. “Toolmakers should expect to see continued innovation and efficiency as Mantle’s TrueShape technology is further advanced and expanded with the full backing of the Angstrom Group.”
Angstrom Group’s investment provides Mantle with the resources to expand production capacity, strengthen its partner network, and accelerate deployment of its hybrid additive–subtractive manufacturing systems.
Mantle’s technology combines precision metal 3D printing and CNC machining to produce high-quality tooling components faster and more cost-effectively than traditional methods.
