Traditional manufacturing methods for space technology come across significant challenges are slow, wasteful and have difficulty meeting the demanding requirements for spatial devices. Atlant 3D revolutionizes this landscape with DALP® technology (groundbreaking direct nuclear layer processing), which enables the production of atomby-by atoms for the precise development of advanced materials and devices that are crucial for space exploration, quantum computing and the next generation electronics.
Today, this startup in Copenhagen and in London has secured a round of series A+ of $ 15 million, which is led by West Hill Capital and increases its total financing to $ 32.6 million. This new financing will accelerate the mission of Atlant 3D, to change the space production and at the same time expand its technology management, the global network of innovation and strategic partnerships with space agencies.
Dr. Maksym Plakhotnyuk, founder and CEO of Atlant 3D, commented: “This financing enables us to make the production of atomic standards for space agencies and research institutions accessible worldwide. Our cooperation with NASA and ESA demonstrate the decisive role of our technology in promoting space research. We enable partners to develop previous impossible devices for spatial applications to develop-of-progressive materials for space vehicles and components for spatial-based quantum computers. “
Remodeling the future of Micro and Nanotechnology
Atlant 3D, the 2018 in Copenhagen by Dr. Maksym Plakhotnyuk, Ivan Kundrata and Prof. Dr. Julien Bachmann was founded, is the pioneering worker for room applications. The 3D printing technology of Atomic layer is designed in such a way that it meets the unique challenges of manufacturing in space environments.
Plakhotnyuk told Tfn: “Space production requires extraordinary precision and reliability. The conventional separation of nuclear layers was not optimized for space applications. We saw the opportunity to develop a 3D printer that can create space-ready components in the nuclear scale and directly concern the needs of NASA and ESA according to the next generation. “
He continued: “The breakthrough came when I met Ivan at a conference in Barcelona. We shared a vision for revolutionizing space production by 3D printing into Atomic scale. Today this vision becomes a reality through our partnerships with the world's leading space agencies. “
Atlant 3D technology deals with critical challenges in space production, including the need for a quick prototype, sustainable production and the ability to create complex components in space environments. Their solutions significantly shorten the development time and costs and enable the generation of advanced materials and electronics that correspond to the strict standards of the space industry.
Behind Atlant 3D: building materials and devices, atom of atom
In the heart of the innovation of Atlant 3D is the Dalp® technology (Direct Atomic Layer Processing), which revolutionizes the space manufacture by masiness, atomic precision production. In contrast to conventional semiconductor production, which is based on complex photolithography, DALP® enables the direct construction of components in one step.
Plakhotnyuk said: “The conventional production of the semiconductor is based on a mask -based photolithography that is costly, slow and environmentally friendly due to the chemicals and materials involved. In contrast, the DALP® technology from Atlant 3D offers a faster, cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative by enabling a direct material deposit with nuclear precision in a single step. “
The Nanofabricator ™ product line, including the lite and flow models, supports terrestrial research and space-based production. This technology reduces the waste of material by 90% and facilitates the creation of previously impossible structures that are suitable for space. With the technology of Atlant 3D, researchers can develop complex structures that were once impractical or impossible and ranged from quantum components to space -ready devices. The company's Nanofabricator ™ systems accelerate material research, the research and development of devices and prototypes and enable the laboratories to explore new limits of innovation.
The company's technology has achieved a significant drive effect in the space industry. The systems are used by NASA, ESA and over 50 partner organizations, including semiconductor manufacturers such as Stmicroelectronics and Sony and several other Fortune -500 companies and research institutions.
Future plans and roadmap for space production
With a view to the future, Plakhotnyuk announced: “In the next 3 to 5 years, we focus on expanding our space skills and strengthening our partnerships with NASA and ESA. A main milestone was our Nanofabricator ™ NULL-G system, which was specially developed for the production in microgravity and zero Grenite environments. This technology enables autonomous production during the exploration of Deep Space, including future missions to Moon and Mars. We actively work with space agencies and private companies to integrate our systems into upcoming space missions and possibly revolutionize how we manufacture in space. “
