Angstrom acquires Mantle to scale metal Additive Manufacturing tooling
Angstrom Group, Southfield, Michigan, USA, has acquired metal Additive Manufacturing tooling manufacturer Mantle, based in San Francisco, California. The acquisition adds Mantle’s AM technology to Angstrom Group’s diverse portfolio of manufacturing-focused companies.
Mantle combines precision metal Additive Manufacturing and CNC machining to produce high-quality tooling components.

“With Mantle now part of the Angstrom family, our goal is clear: to industrialise this breakthrough metal additive technology and make it broadly accessible,” stated Nagesh Palakurthi, founder and CEO of Angstrom Group. “By offering financing solutions and integrated tool design services, we will help customers adopt and benefit from advanced metal 3D printing, transforming manufacturing at scale.”
Ted Sorom, Mantle’s CEO, added, “This is a very exciting day for Mantle and our customers. The Angstrom Group has a stellar reputation in the manufacturing industry, and by combining forces, Mantle will be able to further our mission of revolutionising toolmaking for plastic part manufacturers globally. Toolmakers should expect to see continued innovation and efficiency as Mantle’s TrueShape technology is further advanced and expanded with the full backing of the Angstrom Group.”
