Farsoon Technologies has been selected among 16 additive manufacturing companies in China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) 2026 Industrial Machine Innovation Product Case List, announced by the MIIT Equipment Industry Development Center. The list includes 147 products across 112 enterprises spanning subtractive, equal-material, and additive manufacturing. Farsoon's metal 3D printing shoe mold equipment was specifically recognized, alongside systems from BLT, Eplus3D, Hanbang Laser, and others. The selection covers metal LPBF, sand binder jetting, composites, electron beam, green laser metal printing, and hybrid subtractive-additive systems.
This recognition places Farsoon within China's broader push to accelerate industrial machine innovation and scale adoption of domestic AM equipment. The list's emphasis on large-format, multi-laser, and high-throughput metal LPBF systems reflects the competitive landscape where Chinese OEMs are increasingly competing on production efficiency and reliability rather than just machine specs. Farsoon's shoe mold application is notable as it targets the consumer goods vertical, which has faster qualification cycles than aerospace or medical. The inclusion of multiple technology routes - from sand casting to continuous fiber composites - signals that China's AM ecosystem is diversifying beyond metal PBF-LB, though metal remains the core focus.
For Farsoon, the MIIT listing provides formal government endorsement that can support procurement by state-owned enterprises and defense contractors, particularly as China's defense and aerospace sectors prioritize domestic supply chains. The practical next step is converting this policy signal into repeatable production contracts, especially in shoe mold tooling where Farsoon must demonstrate consistent throughput and cost parity with conventional methods. The broader list confirms that Chinese AM policy is now actively shaping supplier eligibility, not just publishing aspirational targets.
