Anlun Optics: 11 years of core LCD 3D printing light engine technology, driving domestic substitution

Shenzhen Anlun Optics, a specialist in LCD 3D printing light engine solutions, has disclosed its 11-year track record in optical core component development, culminating in a product lineup that now supports up to 16K resolution LCD light modules. The company, led by General Manager Huang Jianyu, showcased its latest intelligent exposure LCD projection engines at the 2026 TCT Asia show in Shanghai. Anlun integrates optical design, ultra-precision mold development, high-precision lens customization, and injection molding to deliver turnkey optical subsystems for vat photopolymerization (VPP) printers, targeting both domestic Chinese OEMs and export markets.

This story is a clear instance of the Chinese localization arc (P2) in the polymer-VPP segment. Anlun is not merely matching Western optical specs from suppliers like Texas Instruments (DLP) or Epson (LCD); it is building a vertically integrated supply chain for LCD-based light engines that lowers system cost while improving resolution and uniformity. This matters because the consumer-electronics and dental-model printing verticals are increasingly price-sensitive and volume-driven, and LCD-based VPP has become the dominant architecture for desktop and production-scale resin printers in China. Anlun's 11-year grind mirrors the broader pattern where Chinese component suppliers move from spec-matching to cost-and-performance leadership, enabling domestic printer brands to compete globally on margin rather than just price.

For buyers and printer OEMs evaluating optical subsystems, Anlun's value proposition is straightforward: it offers a qualified, high-resolution alternative to DLP-based engines at a lower bill of materials, with local technical support and faster iteration cycles. The company's next execution challenge is scaling production consistency across higher volumes and securing qualification from tier-1 dental and jewelry printer brands outside China. The technology is proven; the commercial bridge is still being built.
