A Series D round, led by Eclipse and 1789 Capital, is expected to accelerate capacity expansion and strengthen domestic industrial resilience.
DEVENS, Mass.—VulcanForms is a manufacturer of complex, high-performance metal parts and the builder of what it calls “first fully integrated digital metal manufacturing platform in the United States.”
In late January, VulcanForms announced the close of an oversubscribed $220 million financing round that is reported to reflect growing demand for secure domestic production of next-generation metal products. The financing, led by Eclipse and 1789 Capital, is also said to reinforce “VulcanForms’s role in strengthening critical American advanced manufacturing capability,” the company stated in a release.
Also participating in the round were Washington Harbour, Fontinalis, and IEQ Capital, among other investors.
“Today’s metal manufacturing supply chains are highly fragmented, with production spread across multiple vendors, facilities, and geographies,” the release stated. “This introduces unnecessary cost, waste, and cycle time at every handoff. As geopolitical tension, trade disruption, and industrial policy reshape global manufacturing, this legacy model is proving increasingly inefficient and difficult to scale.”
VulcanForms is addressing the challenge by consolidating complex, multi-step supply chains into what it described as “fully integrated, domestic digital factories designed for production-grade manufacturing at scale.”
The capital supports the expansion of VulcanForms’s fully integrated manufacturing facilities, which combine advanced metal additive manufacturing technologies, precision machining, automation, inspection, and proprietary AI-enabled software into a single end-to-end workflow. By compressing this supply chain into one integrated production system, VulcanForms stated that it reduces complexity, minimizes waste, and lowers total system cost. It also delivers finished, high-performance products at production scale with consistent quality and fully integrated, secure supply chains.
The investment is also expected to enable continued execution of the company’s technology roadmap and R&D programs that strengthen the platform, advance the company’s materials portfolio, and support future capacity expansion.
Proven adoption across critical sectors
VulcanForms stated it has moved from development into scaled industrial production while securing large multi-billion commercial programs across numerous market verticals, including medical devices, consumer products, aerospace, defense, and industrial segments.
These programs validate the company’s ability to deliver production-grade metal products at scale. They also show that organizations are “shifting mission-critical manufacturing back to the United States when a reliable and high-performance domestic supplier is available,” the company said in the release.
“American manufacturers need a domestic alternative that can compete with global production at scale, with superior speed and precision,” said Kevin Kassekert, CEO of VulcanForms, in a statement. “This financing enables us to meet surging demand and expand our role as a critical partner to companies rebuilding resilient domestic supply chains.”
VulcanForms operates a fully integrated digital metal manufacturing platform that unifies advanced metal production technologies, precision machining, automation, and proprietary software into one workflow. Its integrated approach is reported to improve quality, repeatability, and lead-time predictability, while also strengthening domestic sourcing for mission-critical components.
As industries from aerospace to healthcare work to reduce foreign dependencies and accelerate innovation cycles, VulcanForms is providing the industrial capability required for the next era of American manufacturing, the release said.
“1789 Capital is thrilled to support VulcanForms, a company revitalizing America’s industrial strength and sharply reducing our dependence on foreign suppliers,” said Omeed Malik, president of 1789 Capital, in the release. “By restoring high-skilled manufacturing jobs to American soil, VulcanForms is helping to drive the next great chapter of American prosperity.”
“Rebuilding America’s industrial capacity requires bold engineering and the ability to manufacture at scale, and VulcanForms has proven it can deliver both,” said Greg Reichow, partner at Eclipse, in the release. “Their platform brings production of mission-critical components back onshore with unmatched precision, speed, and reliability. Eclipse is proud to back a team that is delivering real industrial output today while shaping the future of American manufacturing.”
