Technology & Products

Key Products

CRM-M Series (SLM): Selective Laser Melting machines (e.g., CR-M130, CR-M210, CR-M300, and dual-laser systems) for high-precision metal parts., CRM-P Series (Plasma Beam): Ultra-large-scale 3.5m-class plasma beam 3D printing systems for heavy industrial and maritime structures., Additive Manufacturing Materials: Specialized metal powders including Titanium, Cobalt-Chrome, High-temperature alloys, and Stainless Steel., Industrial Services: 3D printing processing, post-processing (annealing, screening), and custom equipment R&D.

Technological Advantage

Combines a strong academic-industrial partnership with Harbin Engineering University (HEU) and proprietary plasma beam melting technology to bridge the gap between small-scale precision parts and large-scale structural engineering.

Patent position

With 25 total families filed, CharmRay Laser trails Farsoon Technologies (41) but leads HBD (17) and BLT (13) among named peers, with all its filings based in China. AMPulse analysis
