Technology & Products
Key Products
["Large-format Multi-laser Powder Bed SLM Equipment","WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) Systems","DFAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) Software Solutions","Integrated Design-Process-Manufacturing-Verification Services","Cellular Sandwich Structure Reconstruction Technology","Feature Recognition Algorithm for Automatic Parameter Optimization"]
Technological Advantage
Combines world-class aerospace engineering expertise (CEO Dr. Zhang Hao's background as Chief Designer at China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology), advanced materials science from CAS Ningbo Institute, proprietary DFAM algorithms, and military-grade quality standards (GJB9001C with inspection criteria 3x stricter than national standards) to deliver integrated solutions that reduce R&D cycles from 18→5 months and complex assembly processes from 12 steps→1-step printing. Maintains 85%+ R&D staff ratio with flat management structure for rapid iteration.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Revolutionizes metal 3D printing through a 'design-driven manufacturing' approach that answers not just 'how to print' but 'why design this way' and 'how to print better and cheaper'—reducing component weight by up to 42%, compressing R&D cycles from 18 months to 5 months, and simplifying complex 12-step manufacturing processes into single-step 3D printing.
How They Differentiate
Unique 'design-driven manufacturing' approach distinguishing from pure equipment suppliers—offers integrated design-process-manufacturing-verification solutions with proprietary DFAM algorithms, feature recognition for automatic parameter optimization, and cellular sandwich structure reconstruction achieving up to 42% weight reduction. Military-grade quality standards (GJB9001C) with inspection criteria 3x stricter than national standards. CEO's aerospace engineering expertise from China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology provides deep domain knowledge in lightweighting complex aerospace structures.
