ATLANT 3D Nanosystems: the uniqueness of the technology
Startup ATLANT 3D Nanosystems from Denmark held a round of financing, led by West Hill Capital, a venture capital business from the United Kingdom. In total, the project managed to raise $15 million. The names of other investors were not disclosed, although it is known that one of them is a Japanese manufacturer. Experts suggest that it could be Sony Corporation. In 2020, the startup has already received funding from the company’s division that supports innovative projects. It should be noted that such an amount of investment, which is allocated as part of Series A for the development of the non-software or medical development segment, was a record for Denmark.
ATLANT 3D was founded in 2018 by scientists and programmers. The company’s development is a 3D printer, which allows complex patterns to be applied to various surfaces. In this case, the processing of materials is carried out at the atomic level, which can significantly reduce the production time of micro- and nano-devices. The technology from ATLANT 3D is based on AI, which allows materials to be processed not in months, as is the case with standard procedures, but in days. This discovery is extremely important for the field of electronics and the production of microchips and chips, the demand for which is regularly growing, and the production has not had time to meet it.
Those methods of releasing microdevices that are currently in use are resource- and time-consuming. In addition, they significantly limit the development of the field. ATLANT’s 3D development provides an opportunity to simplify complex operations with many steps, speeding up the production of important components, without which it is impossible to imagine modern life. The founders of the startup are confident that their innovative technology can modernize the electronics industry.
The technology from the Danish startup is used to develop microelectromechanical systems and integrated sensors. It has already successfully proven itself in such sectors as the production of optical and radio-frequency devices, photonic systems, and devices for energy processing and storage based on quantum technologies.
No one had made such discoveries before ATLANT 3D; the project specialists managed to develop a mechanism for creating atomic layers using a hybrid microreactor. It makes it possible to change the atoms of materials in order to obtain the desired device.
A total of $17.2 million has been invested in the Danish startup over the years. In addition, in 2020, ATLANT 3D received a grant from the European Innovation Council, an organization engaged in development in the field of innovation. The company plans to use the funding to further improve the technology and enter the international market. The startup has already demonstrated its potential and practical application, which will allow it to attract even more investments in the future.
