Automation Alley’s Project DIAMOnD Launches Peer-to-Peer Marketplace for Distributed 3D Printing
The marketplace builds on the success of 50,000+ 3D print jobs, showcasing the power of distributed manufacturing in Michigan
TROY, Mich. – Sept. 25, 2025 – 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 – a secure, peer-to-peer platform where companies can submit 3D printing jobs at scale, and participating small manufacturers across Michigan can fulfill those jobs collaboratively.
How it works:
Companies that want to print at scale via the Project DIAMOnD Marketplace can reach out to contact@projectdiamond.org.
Manufacturers interested in joining the network to receive a free 3D printer and training can apply through the “Join” form at www.projectdiamond.org.
The marketplace is designed to protect the intellectual property of designers while giving them access to the full power of the distributed network. Jobs can be produced at higher volumes and faster speeds without requiring companies to purchase their own equipment. In fact, designers don’t need to own a 3D printer at all to benefit from the network. They can simply submit their designs and have them securely manufactured at scale by participating Project DIAMOnD members.
