Batch.Works

Idea

Introduction

The future of manufacturing needs to enable businesses to design, print, recycle and re-print, whenever required. It’s both agile and circular.

Here at Batch.Works, we’re aiming to lead this transition - providing businesses with the technological capabilities to perform their own fully circular 3D manufacturing.

Since 2017, with significant R&D, we’ve developed this technology and have been providing sustainable manufacturing directly to a number of major global brands. This is currently being performed from our two production locations in London & Amsterdam.

In parallel to this, with support from leading businesses and large funding from Innovate UK, we're building what we believe to be the UK’s first additive manufacturing subscription service - CMaaS (Circular Manufacturing as a Service). Businesses will subscribe to our custom hardware & software, enabling them to design and manufacture products in-house, using recycled material and generating minimal waste.

Substantial accomplishments to date

Monetisation strategy

Over the last six years, Batch.Works has seen strong revenue growth year-on-year.*

Under the current business model, Batch.Works has generated revenue by providing design consultancy and manufacturing services directly to our customers.

Design Consultancy; our growing team of inhouse designers provide specialist services from ideation to DFM (design for manufacturing) to align the vision of the customer with the printing capabilities, generating the appropriate software files for manufacturing.

Manufacturing Services; using our 80+ machines across our two production hubs, we directly manufacture and deliver the required B2B and B2C parts to the customers.

In 2024, we plan to launch our subscription model - CMaaS (Circular Manufacturing as a Service) - with the aim of growing revenue.

Cmaas; the Batch.Works manufacturing subscription service. An advanced digital warehouse and scheduling software allowing customers to bring manufacturing capabilities in house for a monthly fee.

Use of proceeds

Commercialisation - 30%
We plan to develop our sales team so we can deliver on our existing pipeline and begin sales for the CMaaS offering.

- Development and rollout of advanced tech (enabling CMaaS) - 70%
We will be continuing to develop AI driven, automated manufacturing hardware and software to move from our existing pilot project to an initial rollout in 2024.
