Freeform raises $67 million Series B to scale automated metal 3D printing for aerospace and defense

Freeform has raised $67 million in a Series B round to expand manufacturing and push further into full-stack automation for metal 3D printing in aerospace and defense. Machina Labs also closed a $124 million Series C to build out smart-factory capacity, including a new 200,000-square-foot facility. First Resonance, which sells AI-driven manufacturing compliance software, said it serves nearly 100 aerospace, defense, and hard-tech customers. The developments underscore growing use of AI-enabled hardware and industrial automation across defense supply chains, without indicating any change to NVIDIA’s own financial or product guidance.
