Technology & Products
Key Products
["DM Series Large-Format FDM Printers (e.g., DM8, DM12, DM16 with build volumes up to 1600mm)","FGF Series Pellet Extrusion Printers (High-speed, low-cost material systems)","High-Temperature Industrial 3D Printers (Capable of printing engineering-grade plastics)","Customized Large-Scale AM Solutions and OEM/ODM services"]
Technological Advantage
Features proprietary high-temperature nozzles (up to 420°C), advanced auto-leveling systems for massive print beds, and dual-drive extrusion technology that ensures stability and precision in prints exceeding one meter in size.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Delivers high-precision, industrial-grade additive manufacturing for oversized parts at a significantly lower cost-per-volume through advanced pellet extrusion and robust large-format hardware.
How They Differentiate
Specializes in ultra-large build volumes (up to 2.4 meters) and Fused Granular Fabrication (FGF) technology, which utilizes plastic pellets instead of filament to reduce material costs by up to 80%.
