BETAKIT: Metafold 3D, which wants to make it easier for manufacturers to design and 3D print complex parts, has secured $2.35 million CAD ($1.78 million USD) in seed funding.

Toronto-based Metafold was founded in 2020 by a group of math, geometry, and architecture experts in CEO Elissa Ross, CTO Daniel Hambleton, and COO Tom Reslinski. Born out of Hambleton’s geometry-focused consulting agency, Mesh Consultants, Metafold sells design for additive-manufacturing software to sportswear and biopharmaceutical companies.

Metafold aims to help large-scale manufacturers become more environmentally and financially sustainable with its cloud and API-based 3D-engineering platform. It provides a geometric engine, lattice library, and direct-to-print capabilities to help teams develop, design, and produce complex 3D parts for a variety of additive manufacturing-related use cases.
