Bambu Lab secures 22.3 million yuan 3D printing procurement order from HuiNa Technology for FDM factory buildout

Chinese consumer 3D printer manufacturer Bambu Lab has secured a 22.3 million yuan (approximately $3.1 million) procurement order from HuiNa Technology, as disclosed in HuiNa's 2025 annual report filed on April 25, 2026. The order covers Bambu Lab consumer-grade FDM/FFF printers to be deployed in a large-scale additive manufacturing production base. HuiNa previously announced plans to purchase 15,000 Bambu Lab machines in batches to build what it claims will be China's first ultra-large FDM 3D printing factory. Separately, Chinese metal AM leaders BLT (Bright Laser Technologies) and Farsoon Technologies released their 2025 annual reports and 2026 Q1 results, with BLT posting 1.852 billion yuan in 2025 revenue, up 39.69% year-over-year, and Farsoon reporting 715 million yuan in revenue, up 45.43%.

This procurement order represents a significant validation of Bambu Lab's position in the polymer material extrusion segment, moving beyond the desktop/prosumer market into industrial-scale production deployments. The deal fits the Chinese localization arc pattern (P2), where a domestic entrant scales rapidly through supply chain integration and volume manufacturing. Bambu Lab, which has dominated the consumer FDM/FFF market with its X1 and A1 series, is now demonstrating that its platform can serve as the backbone for centralized print farms — a model that directly challenges traditional industrial polymer AM systems from Stratasys, 3D Systems, and HP's Multi Jet Fusion. The 15,000-machine target, if realized, would represent one of the largest single-site FDM deployments globally, potentially reshaping cost structures for mass-customized polymer parts. Meanwhile, BLT and Farsoon's strong revenue growth — both exceeding 39% — underscores the continued expansion of China's metal AM sector, particularly in aerospace and industrial applications, though Farsoon's Q1 2025 net loss of 3.64 million yuan signals margin pressure amid aggressive pricing.

From a practical standpoint, Bambu Lab must now demonstrate that its consumer-grade hardware can sustain the reliability and uptime required for production-scale operations, a very different use case from hobbyist printing. HuiNa's factory will be the critical test case: if it achieves consistent output at claimed volumes, it could accelerate a broader shift toward distributed FDM farms for low-to-medium volume production. For BLT and Farsoon, the divergence in profitability — BLT's net income grew 95% while Farsoon's net profit barely moved despite 45% revenue growth — suggests that scale alone does not guarantee margin expansion in metal AM, and both companies will need to focus on aftermarket services and material sales to improve unit economics.
