NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Sumitomo Corporation of Americas (“SCOA”) announced today its investment in Elementum 3D, Inc. (“Elementum” or “the Company”), an additive manufacturing research and development company that specializes in the creation of advanced metals, composites and ceramics.
