MX3D's Global Expansion Fueled by PDENH Investment
Amsterdam, Friday, 17 October 2025.
MX3D, leveraging PDENH’s investment, is advancing its 3D metal printing technology to expand internationally, emphasizing sustainable manufacturing and reducing material usage by up to 90%.
Pioneering Sustainable Manufacturing
MX3D, a Dutch company founded within the Joris Laarman Lab, is revolutionizing the 3D printing industry with its Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology. This method uses robotic arms to print complex metal structures layer by layer, significantly reducing material usage by up to 90%—a critical advancement for industries like oil & gas, nuclear, and defense [1][2].
Investment Driving Global Growth
Since 2019, PDENH, a Dutch public investment fund, has been providing vital support to MX3D, culminating in a recent €7 million investment to fuel global expansion. This financial backing has allowed the company to increase its production capacity in Amsterdam and expand its international sales network. Notable partners include Phillips Corporation in the United States and Framatome, a subsidiary of EDF, in the nuclear sector [1][3].
Strategic Public and Private Partnerships
MX3D’s growth story exemplifies the power of strategic public investments transitioning to private sector backing. While PDENH’s early investment provided foundational support, private entities like EDF and ING are now stepping in, focusing on financial returns and further scaling operations. This transition marks a shift from a purely impact-driven approach to a more business-oriented model [1][2][4].
Future Prospects and Global Impact
Looking ahead, MX3D plans to harness its innovative WAAM technology to penetrate new markets, particularly in the United States and the nuclear sector. As the company scales, it remains committed to its roots in sustainable manufacturing, aiming to continue setting industry standards in reducing environmental impact through advanced 3D printing technologies. This expansion aligns with global efforts to combat pollution and climate change [1][3][5].
