ATLANT 3D Secures $15 M Series A+ as Demand Grows for its Atomic Layer Processing Technology
West Hill Capital Doubles Down on Investment to Accelerate Market Expansion
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ATLANT 3D, whose atomic-scale manufacturing technology enables precise development of advanced materials and devices for optics, photonics, microelectronics, quantum computing, sensors, and space applications, today announced a $15M Series A+ funding round led by West Hill Capital.
West Hill Capital was also the lead investor in ATLANT 3D's $15M Series A round in September 2022. "Our continued investment in ATLANT 3D across both the A and A+ rounds reflects our deep confidence in their transformative technology and their ability to redefine microfabrication," says Alan Richards, Partner and Co-Founder, West Hill Capital. "The team has an unwavering commitment to disruptive innovation and strategic execution, and we believe ATLANT 3D is uniquely positioned to capture significant market opportunities in the semiconductor and advanced manufacturing sectors."
ATLANT 3D builds materials and devices, atom by atom, through its direct atomic layer processing (DALP®) technology, which places precise amounts of materials exactly where needed. The system creates complex structures for microelectronics, semiconductors, and advanced devices in a single step. By replacing traditional multi-step fabrication with direct atomic-scale manufacturing, this approach eliminates process complexity while reducing material waste by 90 percent. Different research teams use DALP® technology to create what was previously impractical or impossible, from quantum computing components to devices that will operate in space.
Since ATLANT 3D's series A round, the company successfully launched NANOFABRICATORTM LITE as a product and a prototype of industrial multimodular NANOFABRICATORTM FLOW. NANOFABRICATORTM LITE is a versatile system that uses DALP® technology to accelerate materials research, device R&D, and prototype development. The University of Vermont became the first institution to acquire the system, marking a significant milestone. ATLANT 3D has since established partnerships with over 50 industrial and research organizations, including major semiconductor manufacturers like STMicroelectronics, Sony and several other Fortune 500 companies.
ATLANT 3D also grew their team to more than 35 members, bringing in talent specializing in atomic layer deposition (ALD) and material sciences; filed for a total of 11 patents, with one granted in the U.S., Singapore, Japan, and South Korea; and expanded their validated materials library to a potential 20 materials. This allows for greater flexibility and innovation in developing new products and applications across various industries.
With the Series A+ funding, ATLANT 3D plans to continue focusing on technology leadership and industrial product development, extending its global innovation network, broadening its application portfolio and strategic partnerships, and expanding its sales and marketing teams and commercial growth.
"This investment marks the next chapter for ATLANT 3D," says Dr. Maksym Plakhotnyuk, Founder and CEO. "One of our key discoveries was that labs needed a way to build complex devices without the traditional constraints of multi-step fabrication as well as testing and adopting advanced high-quality materials. Our technology lets research teams create and test advanced materials and prototype devices in days instead of months and prepare them for scaling to manufacturing. With this funding, we'll continue developing tools that make atomic-scale manufacturing accessible to any lab, accelerating the pace of scientific discovery and industrial adoption. The demand we're seeing from R&D, quantum computing, aerospace, automotive, communication, and semiconductor markets shows we're solving a critical need. We are actively seeking partners who want to speed up their research cycles, develop previously impossible devices, and build the next generation of smart glasses, quantum computers, AI chips, and space-ready materials and devices."
ATLANT 3D has mastered control of matter at the atomic scale, enabling the creation of advanced materials and devices with unprecedented precision. The company's breakthrough technology allows research teams and manufacturers to build what was previously impossible - from next-generation quantum computers to devices that can operate in the harsh conditions of space - while significantly reducing resource consumption. Based in Copenhagen and London, operations in the US, ATLANT 3D partners with research institutions and industrial companies to expand the boundaries of technological possibility.
