Alloyed is a young venture-funded company of around 300 world-class metallurgists, mechanical engineers, technicians, and software developers working across offices in the UK and worldwide, building the future of advanced metal components. We use proprietary software packages and extensive experimental facilities to 3D-print metal components better and faster than anyone else.
At our premises in Yarnton and Abingdon, near Oxford, we are aiming to build the world’s fastest, smartest, and best-equipped facility for the rapid development of additively manufactured parts for the electronics, aerospace and industrial sectors, and novel metal alloys for better performance.
We use our technology to build businesses in a range of markets characterised by very different requirements and priorities, timescales, customers, and cultures.
Better alloys
When a new manufacturing method is invented, new alloys are never far behind. Using legacy materials in AM can lead to cracking, distortion, and force you back into designs shaped by manufacturing limits. ABD® uses metallurgy and advanced data science to navigate vast compositional spaces in days to design novel alloys. From lightweight Mg-, Al-, and Ti-alloys to materials for extreme conditions such as Ni-superalloys and Niobium.
Better designs & processing
In most cases, the benefits of using AM are not high enough to justify the cost and industrial effort required for adoption. Architect and Engine enable hand‑in‑hand optimisation of component design and manufacturing process. Our engineers move seamlessly between 2D and 3D representations, between geometry and toolpath, to deliver maximum performance at the lowest cycle time possible.
Better control
AM is ready for production in principle, but there are challenges in practice. Stochastic process behaviour and machine variability make qualification expensive and scaling difficult. Nexus is our manufacturing data backbone creating calibrated digital twins of the original builds, AI enabled for machine-agnostic predictable and repeatable industrialisation.
