(Automation Alley: Troy, MI) -- Project DIAMOnD, the nation’s largest distributed 3D printing network led by Automation Alley and funded by Oakland County, has launched its new additive manufacturing marketplace. This is a secure, peer-to-peer platform where companies can submit 3D printing jobs at scale. Participating small manufacturers across Michigan can fulfill those jobs collaboratively.

The marketplace is designed to leverage the full network of printers for secure commercial transactions while also protecting intellectual property of the designs. Orders are distributed across participating manufacturers, with costs and payments shared to ensure that every company contributing gets its piece.
