MD One commits first Venture Investment to Forg3D, backing a bold new approach to industrial manufacturing.
FORG3D, whose team has deep heritage in metals manufacturing and fabrication, is reimagining how critical metal components are formed and delivered, offering a faster, more flexible, and digitally driven alternative to traditional forgings and castings. Their platform has the potential to reshape global supply chains and unlock new possibilities across aerospace, defence, energy, and beyond.
This is core National Security Work. We’re excited to support their journey from the ground up as they join the mission to reindustrialise Europe and build sovereign and secure supply chains for critical sectors.
"We’re thrilled to have secured backing from MD ONE, a strategic early investor who shares our vision to transform industrial metal manufacturing.
At FORG3D, we’re building a new foundation for how critical metal parts are formed, moving beyond the limitations of castings and forgings with a smarter, faster, and more agile approach.
This investment marks a key step as we scale our technology and support the reindustrialisation of Europe to build sovereign and secure supply chains for critical sectors."
