Metal additive manufacturing and contract part production
Strategic Profile
Through its focus on vertically integrated manufacturing, precision machining, and industrial automation, VulcanForms is setting a new standard for advanced metal manufacturing, helping innovators create better performing parts while ensuring a secure and reliable US-based supply chain. Unlike other 3D printing companies, such as Markforged and Formlabs, VulcanForms does not sell its machines, but instead manufactures parts directly for its customers out of metals including titanium, stainless steel, and nickel-based superalloys.
Cyborg Score Rationale
VulcanForms raised $220 million in January from private investors to expand production, with $575 million raised through six funding rounds since launching in 2015. The company is building a vast new factory in Devens that will create more than 1,000 new jobs, with the 1-million-square-foot plant allowing VulcanForms to offer more capacity for customers in industries including medical devices, aerospace and defense, and consumer goods.
