BMW i Ventures Leads Seed Financing Round for Rapid Liquid Print

BMW i Ventures Leads Seed Financing Round for Rapid Liquid Print

by Technologies

When it was first presented, the MIT Self Assembly Lab’s liquid-in-liquid 3D printing process received an enormous amount of press coverage and visibility. I have to admit that we were skeptical about it. Then BMW started to play with it and demonstrated that Rapid Liquid Printing technology held great promise for rapid elastomer applications in the automotive segment. That’s when we began to understand the technology’s potential. Now BMW got even more serious with it and, through its BMW i Ventures (which has funded other successful ventures in AM such as Desktop Metal) led an investment in the seed financing round of Rapid Liquid Print (RLP), and its gel-printing technology. RLP uses industry-standard materials, such as soft rubber, silicone and foams, to produce soft, flexible products without retooling or post-processing. Also participating in the round is MassMutual through the MM Catalyst Fund (MMCF).

Bioprinting company REGEMAT3D to open equity crowd funding round 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Bioprinter manufacturer REGEMAT3D is launching a new equity crowdfunding round, that will help the company further scale its business and product lines while preparing for an IPO set to take place in 2023. At 3dpbm we usually do not cover crowdfunding campaigns for new products, however, this initiative is relative to a company that is already present in the market and has been making significant progress in the bioprinting segment. REGEMAT3D promises massive returns (up to 3 to 4 times the investment) and while the actual success of this financial initiative is subject to the same risks as any financial venture, the overall bioprinting segment is in fact growing up rapidly.
