Technology & Products

Key Products

Metal SLM C-series (C250M–C1500M incl. C400M, C650M, C1200M) with person-powder isolation and powder auxiliaries (sieve/feed/suction; multi-machine centralized powder stations); laser flat/tube cutting (GP/GT), 3–5-axis 3D cutting (GC), laser cladding/quenching lines (e.g. AM450P-AT brake-disc line 2026), micro-nano texture (LT), welding lines, coil blanking (GL).

Technological Advantage

Integration of an 'Integrated SLM Support-free Module' directly into proprietary slicing software; uses a proprietary 'permanent' circulation filtration system and leverages Haitian Group's global supply chain to maintain high cost-efficiency and localized service.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Leverages 50+ years of Haitian Group precision machinery experience to deliver full laser processing solutions—metal SLM with person-powder isolation and multi-machine powder automation, plus industrial laser cutting, cladding and welding—aimed at stable, cost-efficient batch production.

How They Differentiate

Leverages the Haitian Group's 50+ years of precision machinery expertise to provide a 'full ecosystem' approach. Their primary edge is the 'Person-Powder Isolation' system and automated 'Concentrated Powder Supply Stations,' which optimize industrial-scale batch production safety and efficiency far beyond standalone 3D printers.

Why this company matters

AMPulse analysis, not a company disclosure

Haitian Additive is a metal additive manufacturing subsidiary of the Haitian Group, a global leader in injection molding and CNC machinery. Founded in 2021 and based in Ningbo, China, the company focuses on selective laser melting (SLM) hardware and integrated powder management systems for high-volume industrial production. Its market position rests on combining the group's 50-plus years of precision engineering with advanced SLM technology to deliver stable, cost-effective systems.

The core product line includes C-Series and M-Series SLM printers, but the company's distinctive offering is a centralized powder supply station that enables closed-loop, automated powder handling for multi-machine setups. This system, which includes automated sieving, drying, and transport, is designed to minimize human contact with metal powders and improve batch production efficiency. The company also integrates a support-free module into its proprietary slicing software and uses a permanent circulation filtration system.

Target customers include industrial manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, mold and die making, medical orthopedics, 3C electronics, and shoe mold manufacturing. Named customers include AVIC, BYD, and Huazhong Mold. The company competes with BLT, Farsoon Technologies, and HBD, differentiating through its person-powder isolation approach and the group's global supply chain for cost efficiency and localized service.

Haitian Additive launched four major SLM product lines within two years of founding and established regional headquarters in Ningbo and South China. The company is backed by the Haitian Group and has disclosed approximately $14.5 million in funding. Its strategic partnerships include the Shanghai Additive Manufacturing Association and Haitian Smart Solutions for factory automation integration.
