Post-1995 CEO Raises Nearly 100 Million Yuan | HardcoreTech Launches First
Hardcore Ke learned that the composite material 3D printing company "Anisoprint 3D" has completed a nearly 100 million yuan RMB Series A financing round. This round of financing is led by GF Xinde, with Guoding Capital and Heshijia Capital participating. The funds will be used to accelerate product research and development, capacity expansion, and global business layout.
Anisoprint 3D was founded in 2023, focusing on high-tech composite continuous fiber 3D printing. Last year, it received tens of millions of yuan in angel financing from a well-known VC. Since its establishment for more than a year, its Suzhou R & D and production center has been launched and achieved large-scale mass production of equipment. On the product side, Composer Nova was successfully released, and functional iterative upgrades continue to exert efforts. In China, Anisoprint has established several important cooperations in the aerospace field; internationally, with the support of dozens of distributors worldwide, its performance has increased several times.
The founder of Anisoprint 3D, Liu Rui, is a post-95s. The founding team began to conduct research on the "bottleneck technology" of continuous fiber 3D printing as early as 2014, and pioneered the patented technology of CFC (Composite Fiber Co-Extrusion) for continuous fiber co-extrusion of composite materials. Based on this core technology, it has developed continuous fiber 3D printing equipment covering from desktop-level to industrial-level.
Carbon fiber and its composite materials are considered a typical representative of the new-quality productive forces and are future industries and strategic emerging industries. The continuous carbon fiber 3D printing technology organically combines additive manufacturing with the processing technology of composite materials, not only breaking the limitations of the single shape and structure of traditional composite materials and the difficulty in processing, but also solving the problem of low strength of non-metallic 3D printing. It has a wide range of applications in aerospace, automobiles, low-altitude economy, robotics, mechanical manufacturing and other fields.
According to Wohlers' market report, the global composite material 3D printing market is expected to reach 9 billion US dollars in 2028.
Investor Perspectives:
Li Longlong, the project leader of the lead investor GF Xinde said that additive manufacturing is one of the core emerging technologies that the manufacturing powerhouses in the world are focusing on. Technologies such as stereolithography, FDM, and SLM have respectively shone in their respective fields. The Chinese market has also grown a number of excellent world-class leading enterprises. The continuous fiber additive technology can greatly expand the application fields of composite materials such as carbon fiber, and has shown great potential in tooling fixtures, high-end manufacturing, aerospace and other fields, and is expected to continue to promote the profound transformation of additive technology for traditional industrial manufacturing and even design concepts.
Fan Bowen, the investment director of the participating investor Guoding Capital said that as the global leader in continuous fiber 3D printing technology, Anisoprint is not only at the forefront of the industry in technological innovation, but more importantly, its solutions are reshaping the production paradigm of high-end manufacturing. We believe that Anisoprint is at a critical juncture to promote the transformation of the manufacturing technology paradigm, and its commercial value and technological potential are beyond imagination. This round of financing is not only an affirmation of Anisoprint's past achievements, but also a strategic bet on its future potential for industrial transformation.
Tao Jiajun, the investment director of the participating investor Heshijia Capital said that additive manufacturing is a representative of the new-quality productive forces with great integration and innovation in the digital era. Heshijia Capital has long been concerned about how to efficiently achieve the goals of lightweight, high-performance, and digitalization in the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Carbon fiber composite materials have broad development potential as the "king of lightweight" in multiple fields. Anisoprint's deep technological accumulation and innovative product capabilities in the field of continuous fiber additive manufacturing will lead the development of productive forces to "new". The Anisoprint team is born global, with a deep technical accumulation and global capabilities. We expect the company to continue to launch amazing products in the future and lead the industry development.
