## About

Material Hybrid Manufacturing Inc., doing business as Material, based in the US, specializes in hybrid manufacturing, focusing on innovative energy solutions through advanced 3D printing technology for batteries, enhancing product design efficiency and space utilization. Co-founded in 2023 in Miami, US, by Gabe Elias, Miles Dotson and Christopher Reyes, Material specializes in hybrid manufacturing that integrates battery technology into product designs. The company recently secured USD 8.11 mn in Seed funding on November, 2025, co-led by Outlander VC and Harpoon Ventures, with participation from Demos, Giant Step Capital, GoAhead Ventures, and Myelin VC. This funding aims to scale their manufacturing capabilities. The founder's history is not broadly available, and the company's operational strategies have not indicated any significant pivots or changes since inception. Material specializes in innovative energy solutions through its proprietary manufacturing platform, HYBRID3D™, which enables the 3D printing of batteries directly into product designs. This technology allows for the creation of full-stack batteries—comprising anode, cathode, separator, and casing—within the contours of products themselves, thereby eliminating wasted space and design constraints. The end-use cases targeted by MATERIAL include consumer electronics, aerospace applications, and wearable technology. Notably, their products include a foldable charger compatible with major retailers such as Apple and Verizon, designed to charge multiple devices simultaneously. Additionally, the technology has applications in energy storage within airframes, offering aerospace manufacturers the potential for lighter and more efficient designs. The company primarily serves markets in North America and Europe, catering to both direct consumers and businesses in tech, defense, and energy sectors.MATERIAL's revenue model is structured around direct sales to retailers and partnerships within various industries, including consumer electronics and aerospace. Transactions primarily occur through B2B channels, where the company collaborates with manufacturers to integrate their battery technology into existing product lines. The firm also engages in direct-to-consumer sales, particularly for flagship products like their foldable charger. Pricing structures are reflective of the innovative nature of their offerings, with specific figures associated with individual products being determined based on production and partnership agreements. These arrangements facilitate a streamlined approach to revenue generation, aligning with the unique value proposition of integrating energy solutions directly into product designs. The November 2025  seed funding will be utilized to scale the manufacturing of its 3D printed batteries. The company aims to launch several new products that enhance energy solutions and expand into additional geographic regions. Specific regions targeted for expansion include untapped markets in Asia and increased presence in Europe, with plans to establish a foothold by 2027.
