Start-up micro factory, successful graduate from Batch #8 of the SCE Incubation Program (formerly SCE Start-up Certificate) has reached another milestone after winning the Strascheg Award 2022 in the category "Best business idea during the study period": Since the end of 2023, the start-up team has been funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection as part of the EXIST program.

The EXIST-Gründerstipendium is a funding program of the BMWK, which provides financial support and coaching as an important pillar in the further development of start-ups.

micro factory is revolutionizing the resin-based 3D printing market with a groundbreaking desktop machine that fully automates the entire process from printing and washing to curing. Their technology sets new standards for safety by safely encapsulating the hazardous materials used. They also enable easy scalability for mass production, controlled via state-of-the-art cloud technology.

Their dynamic team is led by founders Maximilian Strasser (CEO), Leonard Krebs (CTO) and Alexander Stieren (COO). They have recently expanded their team to include software developers Dennis Illi and Simon Rost as well as Lara Eckert, who is responsible for marketing and public outreach. They are currently in a crucial phase of product development and are looking for committed pilot customers who would like to be part of their innovation journey.
