Hunan Luojia Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. occupies an emerging niche in the Chinese metal additive manufacturing market as an entry-to-mid industrial SLM provider. Founded with joint backing from the Yueyang City People's Government and Wuhan University, the company targets domestic aerospace primes and research institutions that require large-format laser powder bed fusion systems but face cost or access barriers with established competitors like Eplus3D and Bright Laser Technologies.
The company's core product, the SLM350A, is a selective laser melting system designed for industrial-grade precision and reliability. It offers a large build volume tailored for complex aerospace structural components and high-precision research needs. Luojia has also developed smaller platforms (SLM150, SLM250) and pursues adjacent technologies including intelligent sensors, semiconductor chip integration, robotics, and composite material manufacturing.
Customers include Wuhan University, Central South University, Aero Engine Corporation of China (AECC), and Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC). The company's R&D team comprises over 70% of total staff, and it holds more than 20 patents in metal additive manufacturing. CEO Liu Sheng, formerly Executive Dean of the Institute of Industrial Science at Wuhan University, brings over 20 years of mechanical engineering and intelligent manufacturing experience.
Luojia's strategic moat rests on its government-university partnership and focus on accessible large-format SLM for domestic aerospace and research. However, as an emerging player with a team of 11-50 and $5.5M in funding from Sany Group, it faces scale and brand challenges against larger Chinese metal AM hardware makers. Its ability to convert early institutional customers into repeat commercial buyers will determine its trajectory.
