Additive Appliances
Italian metamaterials company (legal entity Additive Appliances S.r.l., brand Phynamics) that engineers computationally designed lattice structures for noise and vibration control, commercialized via products such as the AMbelievable 3D-printed tennis dampener and earlier AM appliance components.

Technology & Products
Key Products
Phynamics computationally designed metamaterials for multi-resonant noise & vibration control, AMbelievable 3D-printed TPU tennis racket vibration dampeners (universal/tuned), AM heat-exchanger IP for coffee/household appliances, Material-by-design lattice IP for consumer & sports goods
Technological Advantage
By using additive manufacturing, Additive Appliances can rapidly prototype, iterate, and produce complex geometries that are impossible to create with conventional methods. This leads to more efficient, compact, and sustainable products, giving their clients a competitive edge in the market.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Program material behavior via meso-scale lattice metamaterials (not new chemistry) so vibration/noise can be selectively damped and products personalized at scale—using industrial polymer AM (e.g. TPU SLS/MJF) for lightweight, recyclable consumer and sports components.
How They Differentiate
Owns metamaterial / material-by-design IP (mesoscale lattices) and ships branded end products (AMbelievable) rather than acting as a pure print bureau; selective multi-frequency vibration control vs mass-based silicone dampers; industrial polymer AM for personalization at small mass (~1g).
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Consumer and sports end-users (DTC for AMbelievable dampeners); sports brands/resellers; appliance and industrial OEMs seeking vibration/noise metamaterial components.
Industry Verticals
Sports Equipment, Consumer Appliances, Noise & Vibration Control, Consumer Goods
Competitors
Traditional appliance component manufacturers; Other specialized additive manufacturing service bureaus
Growth & Milestones
Growth Metrics
TCT Awards finalist (AMbelievable, among 6 finalists with Microsoft/Formlabs per La Stampa 2023); Additive Startup Italia winner (AM Ventures-sponsored); live DTC sales of AMbelievable dampener; PitchBook headcount ~2.
