qualloy and AddiMap enter AM marketplace collaboration

qualloy, a digital marketplace for AM metal powders, has entered a collaboration with the world’s first process parameter Marketplace, AddiMap. This partnership aims to ’empower’ the AM industry by providing a comprehensive solution that encompasses both the sourcing of metal powders and the accessibility of validated printing parameters.

The collaboration between qualloy and AddiMap brings together two cutting-edge platforms – offering users everything they need to successfully use AM technology. By linking the two marketplaces, users will be seamlessly directed to the offerings of the other platform – offering access to a holistic ecosystem for their AM needs.

qualloy’s digital marketplace simplifies the powder market, providing a platform where sellers and buyers can connect and transact with ease. By leveraging an intelligent search algorithm, qualloy streamlines the sourcing process – enabling users to find the ideal metal powders for their specific machines and specifications from a range of certified global suppliers. This ecosystem empowers users to freely switch between different powder manufacturers – optimizing price, delivery time, and quality – all while ensuring a transparent and efficient procurement process.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with AddiMap and combine our strengths to create a comprehensive solution for the AM industry,” said Yannik Wilkens, Co-founder of qualloy. “With qualloy, we have simplified the market for metal powders, enabling buyers to find the perfect match for their printers quickly. Through this partnership, we aim to further enhance the user experience by providing seamless access to AddiMap’s extensive printing parameters database, empowering users to unlock the full potential of additive manufacturing.”

AddiMap, a pioneering digital marketplace for printing parameters in AM, offers a plug-and-play solution that significantly reduces the time and resources required for parameter development and qualification processes. By granting users access to AddiMap’s parameter library, mainstream users can transition from digital models to physical products without the need for extensive parameter studies.

“Cooperation is the key to leverage the full potential of metal AM. Less costs and more materials will lead to faster industrial adoption. With AddiMap, we aim to provide users with a vast range of process parameters, enabling them to increase productivity, optimize properties, explore new materials, and streamline their AM operations,” said Gregor Graf, Initiator of AddiMap.
