Alloy Enterprises is developing a new way to manufacture complex aluminum parts on-demand at the unit cost of casting. The 16-person team is creating novel materials, hardware, and software to commercialize their manufacturing process. The Founders have a combined 10 startups between them and bring along hard lessons learned. Alloy values honesty and transparency, and we make sure to take care of our people. Founded in early 2020 in a Somerville carriage house, the company is venture-backed and has contracts with the National Science Foundation, the United States Air Force, and commercial customers.
