Technology & Products
Key Products
Powder Extrusion Printing (PEP) technology for indirect metal and ceramic additive manufacturing, offering integrated 3D printer hardware, multi-material printing systems, post-processing equipment, and full-process chain solutions.
Technological Advantage
VERIFIED: Proprietary PEP/MEX process technology protected by 30+ patents; recognized as National High-Tech Enterprise; ISO9001/CE/RoHS certified; 50%+ R&D-focused team structure; full vertical integration (hardware, materials, software, services) reduces customer switching costs and improves margins
Patent position
Uprise 3D filed 7 patent families in 2022–2024 versus 6 in 2019–2021, a 17% rise, compared with an 8% rise in tracked AM filings in the same patent offices. AMPulse analysis

Differentiation
Value Proposition
Cost-effective indirect AM for complex metal and ceramic parts with faster iteration cycles than traditional manufacturing; comprehensive full-process chain (printer, materials, post-processing, software, services) reduces customer integration burden
How They Differentiate
Indirect AM via PEP process (not direct LPBF/EBM like market leaders); integrated full-process-chain solutions (printers + materials + post-processing + software + services); targeted at cost-sensitive aerospace/medical applications where indirect sintering economics outperform direct AM for certain geometries
