ATLANT 3D Secures $15 Million in Series A+ Funding

ATLANT 3D, a pioneer in atomic-scale manufacturing technology, has recently announced their successful completion of a $15 million Series A+ funding, led by West Hill Capital. This funding round, which follows a previous $15 million A round, highlights the increasing demand for their innovative atomic layer processing techniques used for developing advanced materials and devices across various fields, such as optics, photonics, microelectronics, and space applications.

Alan Richards, Partner and Co-Founder at West Hill Capital, expressed confidence in ATLANT 3D's transformative capability, stating their ongoing investment reflects a belief in the technology's potential to revolutionize microfabrication. The company’s approach promises to redefine the limits of what’s achievable in semiconductor manufacturing and advanced device fabrication.

One of the unique aspects of ATLANT 3D’s approach is the Direct Atomic Layer Processing (DALP®) technology, which allows for the fabrication of complex materials atom by atom. This innovative method can achieve the precise placement of materials, which greatly simplifies the manufacturing process by eliminating the need for multiple steps traditionally required in fabrication. Furthermore, ATLANT 3D claims that their DALP® technology can reduce material waste by an impressive 90%, providing a more sustainable solution to advanced manufacturing challenges.

Since the previous funding round in September 2022, ATLANT 3D has made significant strides. They launched the NANOFABRICATORTM LITE system, which allows for expedited material research, device R&D, and prototyping, becoming a key asset for institutions like the University of Vermont. As research institutions and corporations increasingly recognize its potential, ATLANT 3D has forged partnerships with over 50 organizations, including renowned global semiconductor manufacturers like STMicroelectronics and Sony.

Additionally, ATLANT 3D has seen substantial workforce growth, expanding to over 35 dedicated team members specializing in fields such as atomic layer deposition (ALD) and material sciences. They have also filed for 11 patents, with one granted in key global markets, further solidifying their position as a leader in this emerging field of technology.

With the new funding capital, ATLANT 3D intends to enhance their focus on technology leadership. Specific plans include expanding their global innovation network, expanding their application portfolio, and upgrading their sales and marketing teams to drive commercial growth. Dr. Maksym Plakhotnyuk, the company’s Founder and CEO, noted the crucial observations they made regarding the needs in today’s laboratories: a simple and efficient way to craft complex devices utilizing advanced materials without the conventional hurdles of extended fabrication processes.

Dr. Plakhotnyuk emphasized that their technology enables rapid creation and testing of advanced materials and devices, accelerating the research cycle significantly. Calling upon potential partners, he highlighted the growing demand from sectors like R&D, quantum computing, aerospace, automotive, telecommunications, and semiconductors, which shows the pressing need for innovative solutions. ATLANT 3D is eager to collaborate with entities aiming to develop groundbreaking devices, smart technologies, and high-performance materials suitable for space.
