German deep-tech startup Quantica has closed a Series A funding round, with the deal size undisclosed. The company plans to use the capital to accelerate the commercialization of its proprietary NovoJet™ technology and push aggressively into global markets.

BigBang Angels, a South Korean accelerator that participated in Quantica’s 2024 seed round, has backed the company since its earliest stages. Quantica has developed a high-viscosity jetting technology that breaks through the limitations of conventional industrial inkjet systems. The company’s NovoJet printhead can process materials at viscosities more than ten times higher than standard industrial inkjet — up to 250 mPas under operating conditions, or up to 15,000 mPas at room temperature — opening the door to digital printing with high-performance industrial materials such as adhesives, coatings, and silicones. The production-ready printhead has achieved a manufacturing yield of 90%, up from 20% in earlier iterations, meeting the reliability standards required for industrial deployment.

Quantica has already established its technical credibility by supplying R&D systems to world-class research institutions including Fraunhofer IPA and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany. The company is now running proof-of-concept projects aimed at mass production with global leaders in consumer electronics, automotive, and aerospace, while a collaboration with specialty materials firm ELANTAS is helping it build out a full-stack digital manufacturing solution that integrates both hardware and materials.

Quantica’s NovoJet technology is widely regarded as a game-changer — replacing wasteful analog manufacturing processes like screen printing and spray coating with precise digital alternatives. The company is drawing strong interest across high-value industries, including electric vehicle (EV) battery coating, hydrogen fuel cells, and dental prosthetics, where process efficiency and precision are paramount.

“From the moment we invested at the seed stage, we recognized the disruptive potential of Quantica’s NovoJet technology,” a BigBang Angels representative said. “This Series A is an inflection point — proof that Quantica is ready to move beyond the lab and take on the massive manufacturing market.”

Looking ahead, Quantica is positioning 2026 as the first year of scalable commercialization, with a target of reaching approximately USD $196.2M (KRW 292.3B) in annual revenue by 2030 (based on €170M at 1 EUR = $1.1539). The company plans to expand its supply of high-performance coating and adhesive solutions in step with the rapidly growing EV and energy storage markets, broaden the application scope of NovoJet through sustained R&D investment, and deepen strategic partnerships with global manufacturers.
