Technology & Products
Key Products
Heavy metal 3D printing service (electric-fusion additive manufacturing for large-scale components); SLM/SLS precision metal printing (stainless steel, titanium alloy, copper, superalloy); Pure copper heat sinks with micro-channel structures; Aerospace engine components; Conformal cooling mold inserts; Nuclear power main steam pipe penetrations and other reactor components
Technological Advantage
Proprietary heavy metal electric-fusion additive manufacturing (E-FAM) technology — an internationally首创 (first-of-its-kind) short-process, green, precision, digital AM method for large alloy steel components. Also masters SLM with both infrared (red) and green laser wavelengths for high-reflectivity materials (copper, tungsten, gold). 30+ patents. Cumulative R&D investment >80M RMB.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Heavy metal electric-fusion additive manufacturing (E-FAM) technology for producing large-scale, complex metal components with shorter lead times, lower costs, and superior material properties compared to traditional forging/casting
How They Differentiate
Focuses on ultra-large heavy metal components (nuclear reactor parts, main steam pipes) using electric-fusion AM rather than laser powder bed fusion. Targets nuclear-grade certification and heavy industrial applications where BLT and Farsoon focus on aerospace and tooling. Backed by a listed parent (NanFeng Holdings, 300004.SZ) with deep nuclear supply chain relationships.
