Autodesk Announces $100 Million Spark Investment Fund, the World’s First 3D Printing Investment Program
Autodesk, a leading software company known for its design and engineering solutions, has taken a bold step in the 3D printing industry. The company recently announced its intention to invest up to $100 million in 3D printing startups, entrepreneurs, and researchers over the next few years. This initiative is part of the Spark Investment Fund, a groundbreaking effort that aims to support innovation and accelerate the development of additive manufacturing.
The Spark Investment Fund, managed internally by Autodesk, is designed to foster collaboration across the 3D printing ecosystem. It will focus on companies and individuals working on cutting-edge hardware, software, materials, marketplaces, and maker spaces. In addition to financial backing, selected participants will gain access to marketing resources, technical support, and other services through the Spark Partner Program. This dual approach of investment and partnership is meant to strengthen the 3D printing landscape and drive the technology toward greater maturity and accessibility.
Earlier this year, Autodesk launched Spark, an open-source platform aimed at bridging the gap between digital design and physical production. Spark is compatible with any 3D printer and works with all types of materials, making it highly versatile. The platform encourages community involvement, allowing users to contribute to its development and improve the overall 3D printing experience.
Samir Hanna, vice president and general manager of Consumer Products and 3D Printing at Autodesk, emphasized the importance of open collaboration in driving innovation. “We’ve moved past the days of closed, top-down approaches,†he said. “By supporting startups and independent innovators, we’re helping to unlock the full potential of 3D printing.â€
For those interested in joining the Spark Investment Fund, more information can be found at [spark.autodesk.com/fund](http://spark.autodesk.com/fund). Whether you're a developer, researcher, or entrepreneur, this is a unique opportunity to shape the future of additive manufacturing.
