Fortius to showcase advanced large format metal 3D printing in the Innovative World Technologies category

LAFAYETTE, Colo. - Jan. 18, 2023 - PRLog -- Fortius Metals, Inc. was selected to present in the Innovative World Technologies category for the 15th annual SXSW Pitch (formerly SXSW Accelerator).

SXSW Pitch is the marquee event of South by Southwest® (SXSW®) Conference & Festivals (March 10 - 19, 2023), where leading startups from around the world showcase some of the most impressive technology innovations to a panel of hand-picked judges and a live audience. Out of the 731 companies that applied to present at SXSW Pitch 2023, Fortius Metals was selected among the 40 finalists spanning eight separate categories.

The two-day event will be held the first weekend of SXSW Conference & Festivals, Saturday, March 11 and Sunday, March 12, culminating with the 2023 SXSW Pitch Awards Ceremony on Sunday evening, March 12.

SXSW Pitch will feature finalists across the following 8 categories: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics & Voice, Enterprise & Smart Data, Entertainment, Media & Content, Food, Nutrition & Health, Future of Work, Innovative World Technologies, Metaverse & Web3, and Smart Cities, Transportation & Logistics.

Fortius Metals will present among other companies in the Innovative World Technologies category on Sunday, March 12, 2023.

"Fortius Metals is very excited to present at the 2023 SXSW Pitch," said Jeff Lints, Founder and CEO. "This is a prestigious event that attracts creative and ambitious people who are thinking about the future."  Fortius Metals' next-generation metal 3D printing will allow rockets to carry larger payloads and electric vehicles to extend their range. Fortius alloys are often twice the strength compared to what customers can source today, which could reduce the weight of a rocket by half. In addition, Fortius robotic fabrication cells will help customers test and adopt new methods of additive manufacturing in their own factories.

"Since its beginning in 2009, SXSW Pitch has significantly helped shape the early-stage venture ecosystem and connected promising companies with the resources they need to thrive, giving promising companies the resources they need to succeed when it matters most," said SXSW Pitch Event Producer Chris Valentine. "Of the 613 companies who have been selected as finalists since the competition's inception, over 93 percent have gone on to secure funding and numerous have been acquired by the likes of Google, British Telecom, Huffington Post, Apple, Live Nation, OpenTable, Meta, Michelin, Constant Contact, and Harmon. We're excited to see this year's impressive group of startups take to the stage and show us how their innovations will change the world."
