Sourcing metal powders in the additive manufacturing (AM) industry using traditional methods can be a painful, challenging task. With countless suppliers, different specifications and significant price differences, it is difficult to navigate the powder market. For many companies, it is not worthwhile to fully screen the market, select the optimal manufacturers and certify them, which in practice leads to compromises being made when sourcing powder. Unreasonable prices are often paid because the big brands appear to be trusted and the product appears complex. With qualloy’s marketplace, you can make informed decisions quickly.

With our pre-selection of certified suppliers, you can find your powder at fair prices, delivery times and good, stable quality. qualloy is your competent partner with extensive powder expertise.

Sourcing powders independently from suppliers

While metal powder for additive manufacturing (AM) may seem complex, it essentially becomes a commodity product once its specifications are met. However, some powder manufacturers may attempt to differentiate their products with artificial unique selling points. Moreover, there’s often no need to specific process parameters or product properties alongside the powder. Once you’ve established a stable printing process with a particular powder and its parameters, and you’ve thoroughly qualified the product properties, you can confidently utilize metal powder with specifications roughly corresponding to your previously used powder. This opens up the possibility of sourcing the powder from different manufacturers while maintaining consistency in your printing process.

Enhanced User Experience

qualloy’s new marketplace enhances the user experience by streamlining communication between customers and vendors. Our platform offers a variety of filtering options, including application, base material, atomization process, and particle size distribution. This allows users to find the most suitable metal powder for their requirements with ease. As soon as you have placed the powders in your shopping cart on our marketplace, you can order them with one click. Moreover, our intuitive interface and clear categorization of products simplify navigation, making the sourcing process effortless.

Partnerships and Quality Assurance

We’ve partnered with numerous metal powder manufacturers to expand our offering on the platform. All vendors undergo thorough vetting to ensure that only the highest quality powders are available on qualloy. This commitment to quality and reliability sets us apart in the market, giving customers confidence in their purchases.
