Formlabs closed the funding Aug. 3 and announced a plan to ’strategically collaborate’ with CAD software giant Autodesk, which invested in the company alongside Foundry Group.

’We’ve been growing 100 percent year over year, but it also just shows a ton of promise with the company,’ Winston added. ’With $35 million we’re going to be investing a ton more in go-to-market, our customer-facing teams, sales, marketing, services, but also growing our R&D team so that we can bring more awesome products to market.’

Winston called the Autodesk collaboration ’extremely exciting’ and said the company is ’a titan of our industry.’ Details around the road map of the relationship have not yet been disclosed.

Formlabs will look to grow its partnerr community, which currently includes partners from the U.S., Mexico, France and Canada.

’We’ve started having more partnerships with potential resellers and distributors. We’ve got many partners worldwide, but particularly in the United States we’ve start putting more emphasis on value-added resellers,’ Winston said.
