Eplus3D, Rosswag Engineering and qualloy have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly advance the use of metal additive manufacturing and their supply chains.
Through the collaboration, Rosswag Engineering will install a new Eplus3D EP-M550 metal powder bed fusion system. The EP-M550, which boasts a 550 x 550 x 450 mm build volume and eight lasers, will be installed in a new AM facility that is currently under construction.
Rosswag expects to have the EP-M550 machine available from June 2026 for customer-specific testing, validation and application development. From there, the company will pool its metal processing, heat treatment, machining and testing expertise with Eplus3D’s metal AM technology and qualloy’s metal powders to create an integrated manufacturing ecosystem.
Per the three companies, qualloy metal powder designed for Eplus3D systems will be ‘systematically qualified’ and then available to all Eplus3D customers with validated process parameters and powder specifications via qualloy’s online shop. To achieve this, all parties will engage in joint material qualification and parameter development.
The partners hope to validate industrial-grade process performance and develop user-ready applications and benchmarking capability, with Rosswag eyeing applications in energy machinery, pressure-bearing components, and heat exchangers, among other industrial components.
“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,” said Enis Jost, Deputy General Manager, Eplus3D Tech GmbH. “This collaboration is not just about technology, but about delivering validated, production-ready solutions with great part pricing that enable our customers to scale with confidence.”
“The EP-M550 combines a compact machine design with very high productivity and a large build envelope. This is an important step toward larger and functionally optimised LPBF components,” added Dr.-Ing. Sven Donisi, CEO, Rosswag GmbH. “It allows us to begin closing the gap between today’s additively manufactured parts and complex large-scale forged and machined components. Combined with our integrated process chain, we are well-positioned to bring additive manufacturing into industrial-scale applications.”
“We’re excited to partner with Eplus3D to develop a qualified powder line for their systems. With validated, high-quality and cost-efficient materials, we provide customers with an optimally matched material and process setup to drive industrial additive manufacturing toward scalable serial production,” offered Yannik Wilkens, CEO, qualloy GmbH.
