Euler Raises €2 Million to Advance AI-Driven Quality Control in 3D Printing
Icelandic deep-tech startup Euler has raised €2 million in seed funding to accelerate the rollout of its AI-based quality-control software for additive manufacturing. The round was co-led by Frumtak Ventures and Kvanted, who both join the company’s board.
Solving Additive Manufacturing’s Quality Challenge
As 3D printing moves from prototyping to serial production, process reliability and in-situ quality assurance are key barriers to scale. Euler’s software directly targets this gap by using AI and computer vision to detect print defects in real time – without requiring additional sensors or hardware modifications.
By analysing camera data from laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and selective laser sintering (SLS) systems layer-by-layer, the platform identifies anomalies such as spatter, recoater issues, or powder irregularities before they cause build failures. Early trials reportedly reduced failed builds by 77% and improved overall equipment effectiveness by 20%.
The Metrology Connection
For metrology and quality professionals, Euler’s approach represents a shift from post-build inspection to continuous, data-driven monitoring. The system’s output integrates seamlessly into a digital thread, linking design, process, and inspection data to enhance traceability and certification readiness.
Its hardware-agnostic and cloud-enabled design makes it deployable across multiple printer brands and production sites – a significant advantage for manufacturers aiming to scale additive manufacturing without costly retrofits.
Toward Predictive Precision
Euler plans to use the new capital to expand its team, scale operations, and extend compatibility across more printer platforms. Patent filings are underway to protect its algorithms for real-time defect detection and predictive analytics.
The company’s rise underscores a larger trend: AI-driven process metrology is becoming central to additive manufacturing. As the industry pushes toward first-time-right production, the boundary between metrology and manufacturing continues to blur – and solutions like Euler’s are helping define that new frontier.
