What ATLANT 3D does
ATLANT 3D Nanosystems ApS is a Danish deep-technology company founded in 2018 by Dr. Maksym Plakhotnyuk and headquartered in Høje Tåstrup (Taastrup), Denmark, with additional entities in the United Kingdom and the United States. The company develops and commercializes DALP® (Direct Atomic Layer Processing), a proprietary atomic-scale manufacturing technology that enables maskless, multi-material deposition with atomic precision in a single step, supporting a validated materials library of more than 450 substances (metals, semiconductors, oxides, fluorides, sulfides, nitrides) and reducing material waste by roughly 90% compared with conventional multi-step fabrication. DALP® is delivered through a three-tier NANOFABRICATOR™ product family: LITE for academic and research use (up to 2 materials, 100 µm line width, 100 mm samples, 200 mm/s deposition), PRO for industrial R&D, and ZERO-G for space-grade and microgravity manufacturing developed with NASA and ESA.
ATLANT 3D monetizes the platform through capital-equipment sales of NANOFABRICATOR™ systems, innovation and prototyping services, technology licensing, and non-dilutive EU/ESA research funding. Go-to-market is a consultative enterprise field-sales motion anchored by a 'Request a Demo' funnel, supported by regional channel partners (Future Dimensions for Saudi Arabia and the Middle East), value-added partnerships with Siemens Cre8Ventures (lab-to-fab / PAVE360 digital twin) and Quantum Italia (potential Manufacturing-as-a-Service), and a Nano Innovator Ambassador Program. The customer base spans more than 50 industrial and research organizations, including NASA, ESA, Thales Alenia Space, STMicroelectronics, Sony, Merck, the University of Vermont, the University of Manchester GEIC, NUS, and A*STAR IMRE, with the Singapore NUS and A*STAR/NAMIC MoUs in 2026 positioning DALP® as the synthesis core of shared AI-driven materials discovery foundries.
The company has raised $32.6M in disclosed equity funding (a $15M Series A led by West Hill Capital in September 2022 and a $15M Series A+ in March 2025, also led by West Hill Capital at a $32.6M post-money valuation), with prior non-dilutive support from the European Innovation Council and the EU Horizon 2020 MESOMORPH project. Headcount has grown from 15 in June 2021 to more than 35 by March 2025, and the IP portfolio includes 11 patent filings with grants in the United States, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea covering the core atomic layer process printer, plus registered trademarks (DALP®, NANOFABRICATOR™, ATOM BY ATOM®) across major jurisdictions. The board and advisory bench is anchored by deep semiconductor industry veterans, including advisory chair Dr. Tom Walsh (ex-Tokyo Electron, NEXX Systems, Novellus, IBM), Frank P. Averdung (ex-Oxford PV, SUSS MicroTec), and David Smyth (ex-Oxford Photovoltaics, Golden Telecom).
