qualloy, a digital marketplace for metal powders in additive manufacturing (AM), is now working with AddiMap, a process parameter Marketplace developed by engineering company Rosswag. As a reminder, AddiMap speeds up the parameter development and qualification processes by granting users access to its parameter library, enabling this way the transition from digital models to physical products without the need for extensive parameter studies.
This partnership aims to develop a comprehensive solution that encompasses both the sourcing of metal powders and the accessibility of validated printing parameters.
According to a press release, 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 helps users to freely switch between different powder manufacturers, optimizing price, delivery time, and quality, all while ensuring a transparent and efficient procurement process.
The collaboration between qualloy and AddiMap brings together two platforms that complement each other perfectly, 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, ensuring they have access to a holistic ecosystem for their AM needs.
“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.”
Gregor Graf, Initiator of AddiMap, emphasized the importance of cooperation and cost reduction in advancing the adoption of Metal AM, stating, “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.”
This collaboration between qualloy and AddiMap aims at streamlining the procurement process for metal powders and providing users with access to a comprehensive database of printing parameters. The announcement follows the integration of the LPBF process parameter marketplace into Autodesk’s Fusion 360.
