INDEX Group, a manufacturer of CNC turning machines, has acquired a majority interest in One Click Metal, manufacturer of entry-level metal 3D printers. The investment agreement has been signed on March 18, 2021, a few days before the release of the company’s second metal 3D printer.
As a reminder, One Click Metal was founded in April 2019, and is a spin-off of machine manufacturer TRUMPF. With INDEX on board, TRUMPF will collaborate with the new shareholder as a strategic partner who will support One Click Metal’s future development.
In two years of activity, One Click Metal integrates a workforce of 20 employees who work together for the development of comprehensive solutions in the field of metal 3D printing for small and medium-sized components. From programming to printing, to unpacking and the powder cycle, all process steps are geared towards the simplest and most convenient use.
Today, One Click Metal’s customers include businesses from the mechanical engineering, tool manufacturing, and automotive industries, as well as training centers. They use the systems not only for product development and prototyping, but also for industrial production of individual parts and small production runs.
