AUSTIN, TX – Creative 3D Technologies (C3DT) has raised $5 million in seed funding to expand its modular “Factory-in-a-Box” manufacturing platform.

The Austin-based advanced manufacturing company secured participation from NJP, MetaLucks, Sher, Greenwood and Tech Bricks. The funding will support expanded production of its EVO system, further development of a semiconductor-focused roadmap, and broader deployments across defense, energy and advanced manufacturing sectors.

C3DT’s EVO platform is a rugged, large-format additive manufacturing system designed to process polymer, fiber-based and metal-filled materials at industrial scales. Built around what the company calls “Single-Cell Manufacturing,” the system consolidates what would traditionally require an entire factory line into one modular unit.

Future configurations are expected to integrate more than 20 production functions, including additive manufacturing, CNC machining, electronics assembly and pick-and-place through interchangeable toolheads. The goal is to enable localized, industrial-grade production without the infrastructure demands of centralized facilities.

The company reports early pilot programs with customers including the US Army and Disney, reflecting demand for distributed production in both mission-critical and commercial applications.

C3DT is also conducting early-stage R&D on a semiconductor-focused “Fab-in-a-Box” platform targeting specialty and prototype microelectronics.
