VulcanForms Raises $220 Million in New Financing to Scale Its Leading U.S. Integrated Digital Metal Manufacturing Platform

Series D round led by Eclipse and 1789 Capital accelerates capacity expansion and strengthens domestic industrial resilience

DEVENS, Mass., Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — VulcanForms, the company building the first fully integrated digital metal manufacturing platform in the United States, announced the close of an oversubscribed $220 million financing round led by Eclipse and 1789 Capital, with participation from Washington Harbour, Fontinalis, IEQ Capital, and others. The financing reflects growing demand for secure domestic production of next-generation metal products and reinforces VulcanForms’ role in strengthening critical American advanced manufacturing capability.

Today’s metal manufacturing supply chains are highly fragmented, with production spread across multiple vendors, facilities, and geographies. This introduces unnecessary cost, waste, and cycle time at every handoff. As geopolitical tension, trade disruption, and industrial policy reshape global manufacturing, this legacy model is proving increasingly inefficient and difficult to scale. VulcanForms is addressing this challenge by consolidating complex, multi-step supply chains into fully integrated, domestic digital factories designed for production-grade manufacturing at scale.

The capital supports the expansion of VulcanForms’ fully integrated manufacturing facilities. These facilities combine advanced metal additive manufacturing technologies, precision machining, automation, inspection, and proprietary AI-enabled software into a single end-to-end workflow. By compressing this supply chain into one integrated production system, VulcanForms reduces complexity, minimizes waste, lowers total system cost, and delivers finished, high-performance products at production scale with consistent quality and fully integrated, secure supply chains. The investment also enables continued execution of the company’s technology roadmap and R&D programs that strengthen the platform, advance the company’s materials portfolio, and support future capacity expansion.

Proven Adoption Across Critical Sectors

VulcanForms has moved from development into scaled industrial production while securing large multi-billion commercial programs across numerous market verticals including medical devices, consumer products, aerospace, defense, and industrial segments. These programs validate VulcanForms’ ability to deliver production-grade metal products at scale and show that organizations are shifting mission critical manufacturing back to the United States when a reliable and high-performance domestic supplier is available.

“American manufacturers need a domestic alternative that can compete with global production at scale with superior speed and precision,” said Kevin Kassekert, CEO of VulcanForms. “This financing enables us to meet surging demand and expand our role as a critical partner to companies rebuilding resilient domestic supply chains.”

VulcanForms operates a fully integrated digital metal manufacturing platform that unifies advanced metal production technologies, precision machining, automation, and proprietary software into one workflow. This integrated approach improves quality, repeatability, and lead-time predictability and strengthens domestic sourcing for mission critical components. As industries from aerospace to healthcare work to reduce foreign dependencies and accelerate innovation cycles, VulcanForms is providing the industrial capability required for the next era of American manufacturing.

“1789 Capital is thrilled to support VulcanForms, a company revitalizing America’s industrial strength and sharply reducing our dependence on foreign suppliers,” said Omeed Malik, President of 1789 Capital. “By restoring high-skilled manufacturing jobs to American soil, VulcanForms is helping to drive the next great chapter of American prosperity.”

“Rebuilding America’s industrial capacity requires bold engineering and the ability to manufacture at scale, and VulcanForms has proven it can deliver both,” said Greg Reichow, Partner at Eclipse. “Their platform brings production of mission critical components back onshore with unmatched precision, speed, and reliability. Eclipse is proud to back a team that is delivering real industrial output today while shaping the future of American manufacturing.”

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
