DyeMansion polishes $5m series A

Germany-based 3D finishing technology producer DyeMansion has received $5m in series A funding from investors including Unternehmertum Venture Capital (UVC) Partners, AM Ventures and BtoV Partners.
UVC Partners is the venture capital affiliate of Technical University of Munich’s tech transfer office, Unternehmertum.
Founded in 2015, DyeMansion has developed a finishing system for 3D-printed polymer objects that allows manufacturers to remove powder, smooth surfaces and add colour to their products.
The system has already found customers in a range of industries, including eyewear, automotive, retail, medical and sports equipment.
DyeMansion will use the funding to expand its R&D capacity for further product development as it looks to expand internationally.
The company secured an undisclosed amount of funding from AM Ventures in 2015, the same year it had spun out of 3D printing services provider Trindo to focus on finishing technology.
Philipp Kramer, co-founder and chief technology officer of DyeMansion, said: “Thanks to our customers and partners we have learned a lot about the demand for the digital factory of the future.
“Our new system for getting completely smooth surfaces on additive manufacturing plastics will demonstrate DyeMansion’s capabilities once again.”
