Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered core, flagship and minor.

• BASF Forward AMcoreTechnology or IntegrationBASF Forward AM supplies Ultrafuse® metal filament materials (316L and 17-4 PH stainless steel) used in Jellypipe's FDM metal 3D printing process. The Ultrafuse® filaments consist of metal powder held together with polyoxymethylene binders, processed through debinding and sintering at Jellypipe's Print Partners.
• Hoffmann Group / SFS GroupflagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerJellypipe has been integrated into the Hoffmann Group within the SFS Group. Going forward, Jellypipe AG in Switzerland operates under the name Hoffmann Additive Manufacturing AG, and Jellypipe GmbH in Germany operates as Hoffmann Additive Manufacturing GmbH. This strategic move expands Jellypipe's geographic presence across Europe and creates a foundation for further international growth in additive manufacturing.

Direct peers

• Sculpteo: Sculpteo is a Europe-based online 3D printing service platform offering instant quoting and order management across multiple additive manufacturing technologies. It is highly comparable to Jellypipe in technology coverage, European positioning, and B2B digital quoting workflow.
• Xometry: Xometry is a global B2B marketplace for on-demand manufacturing, including 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal, and injection molding, with an AI-powered quoting engine. It is the most direct global competitor to Jellypipe in online 3D printing services marketplaces, though it operates at significantly larger scale and is publicly listed.
• Hubs (by Protolabs): Hubs is a global online manufacturing platform that connects customers with a network of manufacturing partners for CNC machining, 3D printing, injection molding, and sheet metal fabrication. Like Jellypipe, it operates an asset-light marketplace model with instant online quoting, but serves a much broader global customer base and includes non-3D processes.
• Shapeways: Shapeways operates an online 3D printing marketplace with instant quoting and a network of production partners, serving both prosumer and SMB customers. Its marketplace + partner-network model mirrors Jellypipe's structure, though it has shifted focus toward enterprise/industrial customers.
• Craftcloud by All3DP: Craftcloud is an online 3D printing price comparison and ordering platform that aggregates multiple 3D printing services globally. It competes directly with Jellypipe in offering instant online quoting for multiple AM technologies, though without a dedicated regional Solution Partner advisory layer.

Broad incumbents

• 3D Systems: 3D Systems is a global vertically integrated 3D printing hardware, software, and on-demand services company. Its on-demand manufacturing services business competes with Jellypipe for industrial 3D printing orders, though its primary identity is as a 3D printer manufacturer rather than a marketplace aggregator.
• Materialise: Materialise is a Belgium-headquartered global 3D printing services and software company offering industrial AM production, medical 3D printing solutions, and Magics software. It overlaps with Jellypipe on industrial 3D printing services in Europe and provides broader software and medical vertical capabilities.
• Protolabs: Protolabs is a leading global digital manufacturing service provider offering 3D printing, CNC machining, injection molding, and sheet metal fabrication with proprietary automated quoting. It is a broad incumbent in on-demand manufacturing and has acquired Hubs, making it both a competitor and a parent of a direct Jellypipe peer.
• Stratasys (MakerBot / Thingiverse): Stratasys is a global 3D printing equipment and services company offering FDM, PolyJet, and other industrial AM technologies with associated on-demand services. While primarily a hardware OEM, Stratasys's direct manufacturing services and MakerBot/GrabCAD ecosystem compete with Jellypipe on the B2B industrial 3D printing services side.

Emerging players

• Fictiv: Fictiv operates a digital manufacturing marketplace focused on mechanical engineers and hardware startups, with instant quoting and a curated partner network for CNC, 3D printing, injection molding, and sheet metal. It mirrors Jellypipe's online instant-quote marketplace model but is primarily US-focused and broader in scope.
