Manufacturing Startup ThinkMetal Raises ₹27 Cr To Initiate Commercialisation

Manufacturing startup ThinkMetal has raised ₹27 Cr (around $2.8 Mn) in a funding round led by India Angel Network’s VC fund IAN Alpha Fund. Other investors, including deeptech focused VC 3i Partners, among others, also participated in the round.

The fresh funding will help ThinkMetal in developing its product stack, expand the type of materials it utilises as well as strengthening its R&D capabilities. The Chennai-based metal additive manufacturing startup is also looking to fuel its hiring with the fresh capital.

“This investment is an important step in ThinkMetal’s journey from technology development towards commercialisation. We’ll use this capital to strengthen our product development, expand our team and materials capabilities and accelerate adoption across industrial applications,” cofounder and CEO Sabyasachi Ghosh said.

Founded in 2021 by Ghosh and Arushi Sharma (CTO),ThinkMetal is a Chennai-based metal additive manufacturing startup that builds industrial printing systems that can manufacture tools such as moulds, dies, jigs and fixtures. 

Its SistemT1 machine uses metal fused additive manufacturing to build components layer by layer from wound metal feedstock. The process is followed by debinding and sintering to achieve the required strength. 

The hardware works alongside the startup’s proprietary FuseX materials and Thinkware software. ThinkMetal claims its system can produce metal parts up to 10X faster and at half the cost of conventional manufacturing methods.

Its customers include Ants Ceramics, ZeQube Technologies and Hosur CNC, while its components serve applications across the automotive, aerospace and defence sectors.
