Introducing Fluent Metal, founded by industry visionary Peter Schmitt, former chief designer at Desktop Metal. This venture marks a pivotal moment in metal fabrication, steering towards a more efficient and versatile future.
Fluent Metal’s departure from traditional laser-based methods brings forth a sophisticated solution: drop-on-demand technology. Guided by CEO Peter Schmitt’s expertise, this approach promises not just innovation, but a fundamental enhancement of manufacturing processes.
From rapid prototyping to large-scale production, Fluent Metal offers an unprecedented level of operational flexibility and material adaptability. This isn’t merely a claim—it’s a commitment to empowering industries with new levels of creative and technical freedom.
Fueling this groundbreaking endeavor is a substantial $5.5 million in funding, with notable investments from E15, Pillar VC, and angel investors. This financial backing solidifies Fluent Metal’s position as a trailblazer in additive manufacturing.
At the core of Fluent Metal’s innovation lies its liquid metal printing technology, a marvel of precision engineering. This method, which precisely deposits molten metal drop by drop onto substrates, enables the creation of intricate, high-integrity metal parts.
What truly sets Fluent Metal apart is its remarkable compatibility with a diverse range of metals. Whether for aerospace, medical devices, or bespoke applications, manufacturers can seamlessly transition between materials without the need for extensive retooling.
Furthermore, Fluent Metal champions sustainability, aiming to reduce waste and environmental impact. By streamlining manufacturing processes and optimizing material usage, they are leading the charge towards a greener future.
Fluent Metal came out of stealth mode in March 2024 (you can read about it here).
Bhansali SFO is truly excited about the possibilities Fluent Metal presents in the market and we can’t wait to see the fruits of their labor.
