Authentise offers a workflow management platform purpose-built for additive manufacturing, addressing the need for transparency, efficiency, and compliance across complex production workflows. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Philadelphia, the company focuses exclusively on software for 3D printing rather than hardware or materials, positioning it as a specialized alternative to broader PLM or MES platforms from PTC or Materialise.
The platform functions as a manufacturing execution system for both metal and polymer AM, with features including secure streaming, process monitoring, and engineering collaboration tools branded as Threads. A USPTO-approved patent for secure streaming and monitoring in digital manufacturing underpins its data security and traceability capabilities, which are critical for regulated industries.
Authentise serves global manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, and medical verticals. Named customers include Ricoh, Danfoss, Ethicon Design, and Desktop Metal. Key partnerships with Autodesk and United Performance Metals extend its integration reach. The company has raised $7.33M from investors including Boeing HorizonX Ventures and Innovate UK, reflecting interest from both aerospace primes and public innovation agencies.
Competing with AMFG, 3YOURMIND, and AstroPrint, Authentise differentiates through its exclusive focus on additive workflow management and its patented secure streaming technology. The open question is whether its narrow specialization can scale against broader industrial software suites that increasingly add AM modules.
