Fabric8Labs, pioneer in Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing, announced a $50 million funding round to expand U.S. manufacturing capacity for next-generation components in thermal management (AI/HPC), wireless communications (RF), and power electronics.
The round was led by NEA and Intel Capital, joined by Lam Capital, TDK Ventures, SE Ventures, Marunouchi Innovation Partners, SK hynix, Ericsson Ventures, Masco Ventures, and Toppan Global Venture Partners.
Funds will increase capacity from 5M to 22M components annually, expand engineering and production teams, and accelerate programs in AI/HPC, RF, and power electronics.
“This investment accelerates our mission to scale Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ECAM) for customers in high-growth, fast-moving industries where we are solving their most demanding challenges. With ECAM, we’re reshaping how critical components are designed and manufactured — delivering the performance, reliability, and supply chain resiliency that enables customers to rapidly innovate and deploy advanced systems,” said Jeff Herman, Co-Founder and CEO of Fabric8Labs.
Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ECAM) creates ultra-precise 3D metal parts at room temperature using electroplating principles, eliminating costly post-processing. Applications include:
- Thermal Management: Advanced cooling for AI and HPC chips.
- Wireless Communications (RF): 3D antennas on PCBs for compact, efficient systems.
- Power Electronics: High-current interconnects on ceramics for improved EV efficiency.
“We believe Fabric8Labs is redefining additive manufacturing with its breakthrough ECAM technology,” said Greg Papadopoulos, PhD., Venture Partner at NEA. “Early on, we recognized the potential of ECAM to deliver unmatched precision, scalability, and design freedom — unlocking new opportunities across thermal management, aerospace, and power electronics. We’re thrilled to continue supporting the team as they expand U.S. production and scale this transformative platform.”
Fabric8Labs operates an ISO9001-certified and ITAR-registered facility, ensuring quality and supply chain security, showcasing the future of advanced manufacturing.
