3DEO, a Los Angeles-based leader in design, engineering, and metal additive manufacturing (AM), has secured a major strategic investment from Mizuho Bank, Ltd., a global financial institution headquartered in Japan. Mizuho Bank is committed to fostering innovation and sustainability, and this investment highlights its dedication to advancing AM technologies while supporting 3DEO’s efforts to unlock new opportunities in product design and development. The $3.5 million investment reflects a shared vision between the two companies for the future of manufacturing, particularly by leveraging 3DEO’s proprietary Intelligent Layering® technology and expertise in Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM). This strategic investment also aligns with Mizuho’s “Transition Investment Facility,” designed to promote sustainability and innovation across industries.
“We are honored to receive this investment from Mizuho Bank, a partner that recognizes the transformative potential of our technology,” said Scott Dennis, CEO of 3DEO. “This collaboration will not only accelerate our growth but also help us integrate advanced AM capabilities into key manufacturing sectors.”
Earlier this year, 3DEO also secured investments from IHI Aerospace, the Development Bank of Japan (DBJ), and Seiko Epson Corporation. Mizuho Bank’s involvement further strengthens 3DEO’s capabilities and fosters continued collaboration with DBJ and Seiko Epson.
Founded in 2016, 3DEO has developed an advanced end-to-end production process, offering comprehensive design and manufacturing services for high-precision metal parts. With this new investment, 3DEO aims to expand its presence in industries such as aerospace, medical, industrial, and semiconductors, reinforcing its mission to help customers scale innovative products through cutting-edge design and technology.
Mizuho Bank’s Transition Investment Facility is focused on projects that contribute to environmental and social sustainability. Its partnership with 3DEO demonstrates Mizuho’s commitment to supporting innovative technologies that address critical challenges in manufacturing and beyond.
