Technology & Products
Key Products
["SEBM (Selective Electron Beam Melting) Systems (e.g., Sailong-Y150, Sailong-S200, Y150 Plus)","PREP (Plasma Rotating Electrode Process) Powder Production Equipment","High-purity Spherical Metal Powders (Tantalum, Tungsten, Titanium alloys, Cobalt-Chrome)","3D-Printed Medical Implants (Tantalum and Titanium orthopedic units)","Titanium Alloy Orthopedic Implant Scale Additive Manufacturing Solutions","Customized Additive Manufacturing Technical Services"]
Technological Advantage
Vertical integration allows for total quality control over the material-to-part pipeline; their proprietary PREP technology produces powders with higher sphericity and purity than traditional atomization, while their EBM systems offer a domestic, cost-effective alternative to international competitors.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Offers a complete closed-loop industrial chain—from proprietary powder production to high-end EBM hardware and finished parts—enabling the high-quality manufacturing of reactive and refractory metals at scale.
How They Differentiate
Vertical integration covering the entire value chain: proprietary Plasma Rotating Electrode Process (PREP) for high-purity spherical powder, in-house Selective Electron Beam Melting (SEBM) hardware, and clinical-grade medical implant production. This allows for superior quality control and cost-efficiency in processing reactive/refractory metals like Tantalum.
