Public Company Information: NASDAQ: ADSK  SAN FRANCISCO – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) has unveiled a bold new initiative to fuel the future of 3D printing. The company plans to invest up to $100 million over the next few years in promising startups, researchers, and entrepreneurs working at the forefront of additive manufacturing. This strategic move is led by the Spark Investment Fund, a groundbreaking venture launched within Autodesk that aims to support innovation and accelerate the next industrial revolution. Earlier this year, Autodesk introduced Spark, an open-source software platform designed to bridge the gap between digital design and physical 3D printing. Unlike traditional systems, Spark is hardware-agnostic and material-agnostic, allowing it to work with any printer and any material. The platform invites the entire 3D printing community to contribute, collaborate, and help shape the future of the industry—alongside the Ember 3D printer and its associated materials. The Spark Investment Fund is now open to companies and individuals developing cutting-edge solutions in hardware, software, materials, marketplaces, and maker spaces. Beyond financial backing, recipients will gain access to the Spark Partner Program, which offers marketing support, technical resources, and other developer services. By combining investment with partnership, Autodesk aims to expand the Spark ecosystem and drive meaningful advancements in 3D printing technology. "We’ve moved past the era of closed, top-down innovation in additive manufacturing," said Samir Hanna, Vice President and General Manager of Consumer Products and 3D Printing at Autodesk. "Entrepreneurs and startups bring fresh ideas and new approaches, and 3D printing is no different. The Spark Investment Fund empowers innovators to push the boundaries of what’s possible and unlock the full potential of this transformative technology."
