Incus GmbH

What Incus GmbH does

Incus sells industrial capital equipment through direct enterprise field sales supplemented by service-bureau and integrator partners (MetShape, Azoth 3D, Indo-MIM, Element22, Neoshapes SA), with primary go-to-market centered on trade-show presence at Formnext, Euro PM, ICAM, and Rapid+TCT and an event-driven, application-engineering-led sales motion. Recurring revenue comes from proprietary feedstock and binder consumables tied to the installed base. The customer base is global and diversified across medical/dental, jewelry and luxury goods, refractory metals (Plansee SE), metal injection molding (Indo-MIM), electronics, and academic R&D (TU Wien, Chalmers CAM², University of Utah, Yale), with 25+ machines shipped worldwide within five years and a headcount that grew from 6 to 34+ experts during the same period. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds beyond the original AM Ventures investment, and is led by founder/CEO Dr. Gerald Mitteramskogler with Dr. Johannes Homa (Lithoz co-founder) serving as advisor.

Core offering

Incus GmbH develops, manufactures, and sells Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM) industrial metal 3D printers — the Hammer Evo35, Hammer Pro25, and Hammer Pro40 — together with proprietary metal feedstocks (316L, 17-4PH, Ti-6Al-4V, pure copper, refractory and precious metals) and specialized binder systems (BMP18, BM101XT). The technology uses stereolithography and photopolymerization to cure metal-binder feedstock layer by layer, followed by debinding and sintering, producing high-precision, fully dense metal parts in a powder-free environment without support structures.

Product overview

Incus GmbH offers a portfolio of Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM) metal 3D printers including the Hammer Evo35 (versatile printer for prototyping and small-scale production), Hammer Pro25 (industrial mass production system with dual projectors and 980 cm³/h throughput), and Hammer Pro40 (production-scale system). The company provides specialized metal feedstocks (Stainless Steel 316L, 17-4PH, Titanium Ti-6Al-4V, 99.9% Pure Copper) and binder systems (BMP18, BM101XT) optimized for the LMM process. LMM is a sinter-based AM technology combining stereolithography with photopolymerization to produce metal parts without support structures in a powder-free environment.
