Fortius Metals Inc., a metal 3D printing firm, has raised another $2 million during its Seed+ round by increasing the total funding to $5 million. The firm focuses on advanced wire-based Additive Manufacturing for the aerospace and defense sectors.
New investors joining the previous pool include Finindus, who joined after getting approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
The earlier investors were 412 Venture Fund, AM Ventures & M7 Holdings for a capital increment in previous rounds. Fortius’ patented technology allows welding & wire Additive Manufacturing of high-quality metal alloys. The process is said to provide advantages in terms of performance, lower weight, and product quality.
The proprietary alloys developed by Fortius Metals offer up to twice the strength of current commercial solutions in welding and 3D printing. The company also offers robotic welding process expertise and proprietary predictive toolpaths that deliver dimensional accuracy, helping customers bring designs to life with unmatched precision. The additional capital will help accelerate these developments and enable Fortius to meet the timelines of customers eager to adopt this technology.
“Fortius Metals has received broad interest from customers & this investment helps bring new products to market, such as our proprietary 6061-RAM2 and 7075-RAM2 aluminum welding wires that solve traditional “hot cracking” problems. We are helping our customers print designs using our robotic welding process expertise which was previously impossible. In 2025, the company looks forward to launching new wire alloys with advanced properties like IN625-RAM, 316LRAM, and 5183-RAM. We are proud to be a Colorado company along with many of our space and defense customers,” says Jeff Lints, Fortius CEO.
Roel Callebaut, Senior Investment Manager at Finindu explains, “Fortius Metals is pushing the boundaries of wire-based additive manufacturing with their unique materials and process expertise. We are excited to support their mission to revolutionize the production of large and complex parts without compromising material performance. This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to fostering innovative and sustainable industrial technologies.”
