Company Overview
Advanced Metal is establishing a hybrid manufacturing and R&D facility in Southern California. Our business model centers on uncovering inefficiencies across manufacturing processes and engineering targeted solutions that unlock measurable gains in performance and output.
Our initial product targets the plastic manufacturing sector, including blow molding and injection molding across food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and industrial applications.
Go-to-Market Product:
A next-generation extrusion blow mold tooling engineered to increase plastic container production speeds by 27% or more.
The AM-A1 Mold is engineered for radical thermal cooling through its proprietary internal structure, reducing cycle times and increasing throughput, while its high-strength alloy lasts significantly longer than conventional aluminum molds.
Target Customer: Plastics Manufactures
Our mold assemblies are projected to unlock $80K–$500K in annual profit gains per production line, depending on system type and production volume.
Our beachhead market includes companies that require or produce HDPE (plastic) containers, e.g. chemical, personal care, and pharmaceutical corporations.
Update in progress. Production trials complete.
Conventional
AM-A1 Verified Performance Results:
Doubled the cooling performance of conventional molds
Increased bottle production output by 27%
Performance validated through third-party R&D facility.
Investment Opportunity (Updated Q3 2025)
We are raising $18M to establish the first production facility, enabling full-scale delivery of high-performance molds to the plastic manufacturing industry.
Market/Revenue
-
Blow Mold Tooling Market Size: $12.7B global, projected to grow to $17.3B by 2030.
-
Sources: Grand View Research, Research and Markets report, SkyQuest Technology
-
Serviceable Obtainable Market: Our initial SOM is defined not by demand, but by production capacity.
At full operational scale (generating ~208 mold sales/month), we’re targeting $20M+ in annual net revenue, representing less than 0.5% of the global TAM.
-
-
Customer Impact: By increasing cycle efficiency and boosting unit output by 27% or more, our molds improve production economics for mid- to large-scale manufacturers, yielding an estimated $80K–$500K in additional annual revenue per-production line compared to conventional tooling.
-
Revenue Forecast: We are projecting ~$20M in recurring net annual revenue by Year 3 at full operational capacity, based on detailed unit economics and validated customer profiles.
-
Full manufacturing cost analysis and per-unit economics available.
-
Projected Investor Returns
-
Target IRR: ~40%, based on forecasted cash flows from mold sales and operating margins over a 5-year horizon.
-
Estimated ROI: Up to ~93% within 5 years, driven by unit-level profitability and modeled production volumes at full facility capacity.
-
Return Structure: Designed to balance near-term cash flow potential with long-term equity upside; structure can align with investor preferences.
-
Exit Potential: As production scales and market traction builds, we see potential for strategic acquisition or secondary equity events that could provide investor liquidity.
-
Capital Preservation: The majority of funds are allocated to high-value equipment with an estimated 75–80% resale value, offering built-in recoverability through tangible assets.
-
Our financial model reflects a focused plan for market entry and expansion, supported by adaptable thermal design principles and validated industry demand. In parallel, we’ve mapped growth paths into adjacent markets (such as plastic injection molding and high efficiency heat exchangers) with pivot points and R&D flexibility built into our operation.
-
Comparable businesses have shown that establishing a modern additive manufacturing facility can serve as a foundation for multiple scalable revenue streams. Our strategy is designed to execute on our core product while evaluating broader applications and growth potential of the platform.
