About Twikit

Twikit is a technology company founded in 2012, specializing in mass customization and digital manufacturing. Headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium, with offices in the U.S., the firm provides a cloud-based software suite that facilitates an end-to-end workflow for personalized products. The core of Twikit's offering is the Twikbot platform, which enables brands to offer customizable products through 3D visualization and configuration tools. This system automates the process from customer design to production by generating manufacturing-ready files for techniques like 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC milling.

The company serves a diverse range of industries, including automotive, luxury goods, lifestyle, and medical sectors such as orthotics. In the automotive field, Twikit's software allows for the on-demand production of individualized vehicle parts, helping brands to create new business models and revenue streams. For lifestyle and luxury brands, the platform provides immersive 3D experiences that allow customers to become active participants in the product creation process. The business model operates on a SaaS basis, integrating with clients' existing ERP and MES systems through an open API structure. This enables a seamless connection between online points of sale and digital manufacturing flows.

Since its inception, Twikit has participated in several funding rounds, including a Seed round in 2013 led by imec.istart and a Series B1 round in 2020. The company has formed strategic partnerships, notably with HP Tech Ventures, the venture capital arm of HP, to further its reach in digital manufacturing.
