Technology & Products
Key Products
Additive manufacturing equipment for large-scale critical metal components; High-performance metal structures; Surface engineering technologies
Technological Advantage
Proprietary laser melting deposition process achieves high-density metal parts for structural applications, protected by over 285 granted or pending patents in additive manufacturing and surface technologies.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces lead times for large metal components from 18 months to 6 weeks while eliminating the need for multi-ton forging presses, enabling on-demand production of load-bearing structures.
How They Differentiate
Focuses exclusively on large-format metal DED systems for aerospace structural components, whereas competitors like EOS primarily offer LPBF for smaller parts and Shenzhen JR targets broader metal AM markets.
