March 11, 2022

Wei Haitao, Partner at Blue Lake Capital, remarked, “we firmly believe that any new process with a solid technical underpinning will have tremendous potential and explosive growth power in the manufacturing industry… Raise3D has had an impressive growth curve over the last six years since its founding. After leading the round of investment in Raise3D last year, we are very pleased to see the significant iteration of its premier model (Pro3) over the previous generation (Pro2), as well as whopping increases in sales. Furthermore, the industrial machine and metal 3D printing solutions successfully launched by the company last year attest to the remarkable exploratory spirit and product implementation of the Raise3D team in additive manufacturing. We are confident that the Raise3D team will replicate the high-growth shipment curve of the Pro2 and Pro3 series in its new product category, thus elevating Raise3D to an even higher level of business performance.”

Shanghai Fuzhi Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Raise3D”)—a global professional 3D printer manufacturer—recently announced the completion of its Series C financing round, raising 100 million RMB.
