Stage
Active
Technology & Products
Key Products
3D robot milling solutions (hardware, software, and training), with 3D/5D extruders in development for large-scale 3D printing.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary integration of refurbished industrial robots with milling hardware and software (e.g., SprutCAM Robot) creates cost-effective, scalable systems; 5D printing technology with 5 degrees of freedom offers advanced deposition capabilities.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces setup time and risk by offering pre-tested, turnkey robotic milling systems that are proven in demo setups, eliminating the typical trial-and-error approach of custom robot integration.
How They Differentiate
Focuses on refurbished robot-based systems rather than proprietary printers, offering lower-cost entry into large-format robotic milling compared to new equipment vendors; emphasizes hands-on training and proven configurations over off-the-shelf solutions.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial manufacturers seeking automated, large-format milling and printing capabilities for molds, prototypes, and production parts.
Industry Verticals
Industrial Manufacturing; Automotive; Aerospace; Marine; Art and Sculpture
Competitors

Growth & Milestones
Major Milestones
3D/5D robot extruders remain in development; Blueflame3D combines the capabilities of DamenCNC, IRS Robotics, HB3D / Spil Robotics, and its CAM software partner.
Blueflame3D operates as a cooperative pooling expertise in robot milling, printing, hardware, and software. Its core offering is a field-proven, turnkey robotic milling solution that combines refurbished industrial robots with specialized hardware and software, such as SprutCAM Robot. This approach reduces setup time and risk by eliminating the trial-and-error typical of custom robot integration. The company is also developing 3D and 5D extruders for large-scale additive manufacturing, with the 5D system offering five degrees of freedom for advanced deposition.
Target customers include industrial manufacturers in automotive, aerospace, marine, and art sectors seeking automated large-format milling and printing for molds, prototypes, and production parts. Notable customers include ASML, Philips, Airbus, and TNO. Blueflame3D differentiates by focusing on refurbished robot-based systems rather than proprietary printers, offering a lower-cost entry point compared to new equipment from KUKA, ABB, or FANUC. The company emphasizes a 'show-don't-tell' approach with demo cells to prove solutions before deployment.
As of March 2026, Blueflame3D employs 45 people and reported €4.1M revenue in FY 2025, a 320% year-over-year increase from €1.0M in 2024. It has deployed 12 printers and holds a production capacity of 500 kg/month in metal parts. The company has raised €12.7M from investors including BOM, High-Tech Gründerfonds, Innovation Industries, PhotonDelta, and Yes!Delft. A €2.4M EU Horizon grant and a 150% order backlog growth underscore market traction. Key partnerships include DamenCNC for hardware supply across 38 countries and SprutCAM for robot programming.
