Roboze lands $10M to build out US production for aerospace and defence
What's the deal? Italian 3D-printing firm RobozeDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → has raised $10 million in late-stage venture funding to expand manufacturing in the United States and serve aerospace, defence and energy customers. Rialto VenturesDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → and Club degli Investitori led the round, alongside existing and new international backers.
Where the money goes: The company is targeting three priorities — scaling production of qualified end-use components, hiring across engineering, materials science and defence programs, and moving beyond its polymers and composites portfolio into new materials, including ceramic matrix composites and stealth-related components for aerospace and defence platforms.
What's the endgame? Roboze wants to shift customers from prototyping toward serial and distributed production. Founder and chief executive officer Alessio Lorusso said the funding supports building that capability "at scale in the United States and across allied industrial ecosystems."
Why now? Investors framed the round as a bet on resilient industrial supply. Alessandro Piol of Club degli Investitori said Roboze addresses the challenge of making "production of critical components more resilient, flexible and scalable."
What could go wrong? The raise is small for the sector. US rival Impossible Objects raised $40 million in September, while QuickpartsDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → added nearly $6 million for aerospace-and-defence capacity. Roboze's significance will hinge on converting expansion into customer-qualified, repeat production.
The signal: The round reflects additive manufacturing's pivot from prototyping toward production-scale capacity for aerospace and defence, as US programs keep funding the field. Rather than another printer-company raise, it reads as a targeted push to build local production — though at a fraction of recent sector cheques.
