DDM Systems (
http://invest.ddmsys.com) is a revenue generating B2B digital manufacturing company disrupting and modernizing the manufacture of precision cast metal parts with advanced ceramic 3D printing in the global $16B investment casting industry. Investment casting is the process used to make the most high-value and high-precision metal components across diverse industrial sectors including aerospace and defense, industrial gas turbines, medical implants, fluid handling, oil and gas, automotive and other sectors. DDM’s patented 3D printing technology combining proprietary hardware, software and materials produces ceramic shells in a single step, replacing 7 out of 12 steps in traditional investment casting with a single 3D printing step, enabling precision metal castings to be made 10 times faster and at 50% of the prevailing cost. DDM currently sells printed shells to OEMs and foundries, enabling them to rapidly manufacture castings without any upfront investment in tooling, a key requirement in traditional investment casting. DDM's Digital Foundry technology greatly accelerates time to market for new component designs while also enabling the on-demand manufacture of spares and upgrades without any tooling. DDM has raised $19M to date in equity and debt from private investors, top tier VCs and lending institutions. DDM has worked with leading companies in aviation (GE Aviation, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce), Space Launch (Space X), power generation (GE Power, Siemens, Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, Alstom), automotive (Toyota), US Government (US Air Force, US Dept of Energy) and leading foundries (Signicast, Wisconsin Precision, TPM, TechCast, Seacast). The company's founders Dr. Suman Das (

In 2022, the company generated revenues of $1.1M. The company is now seeking to raise $5M to scale and industrialize its Digital Foundry technology, with a "Parts as a Service" offering and a pilot foundry capable of making advanced castings better, faster and cheaper than possible today.
