Recent coverage of Eplus3D

Why this company matters

Eplus3D positions itself as a leader in large-format metal additive manufacturing, offering laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) machines that scale beyond typical build volumes. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Hangzhou, China, the company has delivered over 100 super-meter metal 3D printers globally, targeting industries that require both size and throughput in production-grade metal parts.

The company's core technology is metal PBF-LB, with key products including the EP-M2050, EP-M1550, EP-M1250, and EP-M650. These systems are designed for customizable configurations — multiple lasers, adjustable build parameters — to accommodate diverse industrial requirements. Eplus3D emphasizes high material utilization rates and the ability to produce large, complex geometries in a single build, reducing the need for assembly or post-processing.

Primary end markets include aerospace, space, energy, automotive, mold-making, and electronics. Notable customers include Fuchshofer Advanced Manufacturing, LEAP 71, Paradigm 3D, and Möve. The company achieved a milestone by developing what it describes as the world's largest single-piece metal 3D printed rocket thruster, underscoring its relevance to space propulsion and aerospace primes. Partnerships with AM Futures support expansion into the UK market.

Eplus3D competes with Xi'an Bright Laser Technologies, Farsoon Technologies, and Nikon SLM Solutions. Its differentiation lies in large-format, multi-laser LPBF systems that offer high productivity and customization. The company has raised $141 million from investors including Beijing State-owned Capital Operation and Management and SDIC Unity Capital. A key open question is how quickly it can scale its EMEA and Americas operations from bases in Ludwigsburg, Germany, and Houston, USA, against established Western competitors.
