a-metal AG, headquartered in the Technopark Zürich, is a spin-off from ETH Zürich and the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland that builds a compact, low-cost, and easy-to-operate metal 3D printer aimed at lowering the cost and complexity barriers of metal additive manufacturing. The company positions its system as an ideal entry-level solution that eliminates the need for large, expensive equipment, specialized lab space, or expert personnel. With its technology already in pre-series production, a-metal intends to industrialize the printer, scale manufacturing, professionalize its market presence, and expand its team across customer support, operations, and software development. The firm emphasizes a plug-and-play experience to broaden metal AM adoption among small and medium-sized enterprises. New capital will accelerate the move from pilot builds to full commercialization. Although key financial metrics such as revenue or user count were not disclosed, the firm states that the fresh funding marks the beginning of its next growth phase. The strategy centers on converting early technical success into scalable production and widening market reach.
