The investment will accelerate SAEKI ’ s development of autonomous factories that integrate quoting , 3D printing , machining , and inspection into a seamless process . “ We share SAEKI ’ s vision of European dynamism and strengthening Switzerland ’ s manufacturing position ,” said Alex Stöckl , Partner at Founderful .
“ Their interdisciplinary team has shown remarkable progress , demonstrating the potential to reshape industrial production .”
Manufacture the impossible : SAEKI raises $ 6.7M to transform large-scale manufacturing
As AI accelerates design capabilities , SAEKI is bridging the widening gap between what engineers can design and what can actually be manufactured , end to end . SAEKI ’ s autonomous factories will supercharge industrial productivity in Europe and heavy industry globally .
With global supply chains facing mounting pressures and costs continuing to rise , manufacturing is at a critical juncture . Industries like aerospace , automotive , and construction face long lead times and high costs for large-format components , relying heavily on fragmented supply chains and laborintensive processes . Today , manufacturing automation business SAEKI announced a $ 6.7M funding round to address these challenges through its innovative approach to digital manufacturing .
The seed round was led by Lightbird with participation from Founderful , 2100VC , Danobat , and multiple high-profile business angels .
Unlike traditional manufacturers who rely on manual processes , SAEKI combines large-scale additive manufacturing with precision CNC machining in a unified production system .
This hybrid approach enables the company to deliver precision-engineered components in days rather than weeks , while maintaining the highest quality standards through automated inspection processes .
By incorporating automated quality assurance , the company ensures every part meets stringent industry standards , enabling faster delivery times and improved cost efficiency for large-format components .
SAEKI is also announcing the launch of its breakthrough instant quoting platform , enabling customers to upload designs , configure requirements , and receive immediate pricing for precisionengineered parts .
By eliminating traditional quoting bottlenecks , SAEKI has reduced the procurement cycle from days to minutes .
