XJet, eqops Team Up for Advanced Manufacturing in UK, Ireland

XJet announced its collaboration with eqops, a UK-based engineering consultancy specialising in additive manufacturing and advanced manufacturing technologies, which will see eqops represent XJet as its sales and support partner across the UK and Ireland. The move reinforces XJet’s presence in the UK and Ireland—markets recognized for their concentration of high-performance industries.

The collaboration combines XJet NanoParticle Jetting technology with eqops’ additive manufacturing expertise and established operational infrastructure across the UK and Ireland. Together, the companies will support manufacturers through the full lifecycle of technology adoption: from system selection and installation through to process optimization, compliance, and long-term production performance.

eqops is led by Alwyn Pryse, Mark Caseley, and Liam Matthews, whose combined experience spans additive manufacturing, semiconductor service operations, CNC machining, technical service leadership, ISO consultancy, and health and safety implementation. The team has experience supporting additive manufacturing operations across multiple high-performance industries, including aerospace, defence, medical devices, energy, and electronics. This experience includes system installation, lifecycle management, process optimization.

"Partnering with XJet is a major milestone in eqops’ mission to equip UK and Irish industry with additive manufacturing technologies. XJet’s NanoParticle Jetting technology is unique; and the part quality and process simplicity delivered is a proposition for high-performance sectors we support,” states Alwyn Pryse, head of Business Development at eqops.

This collaboration comes as part of XJet's international growth strategy, with a focus on key industrial regions where advanced manufacturing is established and evolving. The UK and Ireland are long-standing centers of high-precision and high-complexity manufacturing across aerospace, defense, medical devices, energy and electronics—sectors where there is increasing demand for tighter tolerances, geometric complexity, and production-grade quality.
