A new tripartite MOU pairs large-format LPBF systems, qualified powders and industrial process expertise with a clear bet on serial production.
Eplus3D, Rosswag Engineering and qualloy have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly advance next-generation metal additive manufacturing and the supply chains that go with it. The agreement brings together a machine builder, an industrial process specialist and a powder marketplace under one validated, production-ready ecosystem.
At the heart of the deal is Rosswag’s investment in an Eplus3D EP-M550 MPBF system. With 8 lasers and a 550 × 550 × 450 mm build envelope, it will be installed at Rosswag’s new AM facility and made available from June 2026 for customer-specific testing, validation and application development. The move extends Rosswag’s strategy towards larger and more complex components, a direction familiar to readers from the company’s earlier work on AddiMap, its LPBF process-parameter marketplace.
Eplus3D, with its 64-laser EP-M2050 platform brings its large-format LPBF systems to the alliance. qualloy, the metal-powder company launched in 2022 to make qualified powders cheaper and more transparent to source will act as supply chain facilitator.
qualloy powders designed for Eplus3D systems will be qualified at the company’s Innovation Center in Korntal-Münchingen and made available to European Eplus3D customers via the qualloy online shop, with validated process parameters and powder specifications.
Rosswag will contribute qualification and testing per industry standards. The trio is targeting energy machinery, pressure-bearing components, heat exchangers and broader industrial applications, fields that demand validated processes and benefit from the scalability of large-format metal 3D printing.
“By combining our large-scale, industrial LPBF systems with Rosswag’s application expertise and qualloy’s material excellence, we are creating a fully integrated ecosystem that significantly lowers the barrier for true serial additive manufacturing,” says Enis Jost, Deputy General Manager at Eplus3D Tech GmbH.
For Rosswag CEO Dr.-Ing. Sven Donisi, the EP-M550 marks “an important step toward larger and functionally optimized LPBF components”, a way to begin “closing the gap between today’s additively manufactured parts and complex large-scale forged and machined components.”
qualloy CEO Yannik Wilkens frames the partnership in commercial terms: validated, high-quality, cost-efficient materials matched to Eplus3D’s machines, “to drive industrial additive manufacturing toward scalable serial production.”
