Technology & Products
Key Products
["LiM-X Series: High-precision Selective Laser Melting (SLM) machines (e.g., LiM-X150, LiM-X400, LiM-X800)","LiM-X1300H/1500H: Large-format multi-laser systems for massive aerospace structural parts","LiM-S Series: Coaxial Laser Cladding (DED) equipment for repair and large-scale additive manufacturing","LiM-Control & LiM-Build: Proprietary software suite for process control and path planning","Custom Metal Powders & Additive Manufacturing Services"]
Technological Advantage
Maintains a full-stack technological advantage by integrating equipment R&D with TSC Group's large-scale service experience, offering one of the world's largest build volumes (up to 1500mm) with multi-laser synchronization.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Delivers high-stability, large-scale metal additive manufacturing with the ability to process complex materials like copper alloys at ultra-thin precision, significantly reducing weight and manufacturing lead times for critical components.
How They Differentiate
Specializes in extreme large-format Selective Laser Melting (SLM) with build volumes up to 1500mm and a specialized capability for ultra-thin 0.15mm copper alloy printing. Unlike pure equipment vendors, it leverages parent company TSC Group's deep heritage in aerospace manufacturing to provide integrated 'equipment + process + service' solutions.
