BURLINGTON, MA, Leading provider of high-speed, multi-metal additive manufacturing systems, today announced a $5M Series A.
Digital Alloys, Inc. the leading provider of high-speed, multi-metal additive manufacturing systems, today announced a $5M Series A financing led by Khosla Ventures that funds the launch of its first products. The Digital Alloys system prints production-quality parts, in almost any metal, at a fraction of the cost of other metal 3D printers. The company's printers have the unique ability to mix multiple metals in a solid part, enabling customers to push the limits of design and create new products with enhanced thermal, electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties.

Digital Alloys was formed in January 2017 as a spinout from the NVLabs division of New Valence Robotics, Inc. (NVBOTS). NVBOTS, under the leadership of Chairman and Founder AJ Perez, will continue growing the NVPro automated polymer 3D printer business. NVLabs will be announcing new initiatives in the upcoming weeks.
