JPT showcases additive-manufacturing-dedicated lasers at TCT Asia 2024
Originally reported by 南极熊
JPT, the Chinese industrial laser maker, exhibited lasers dedicated to additive manufacturing at TCT Asia 2024 in Shanghai. Coverage centered on a concrete AM product category rather than general industrial photonics or mere booth attendance. The company presented beam sources aimed at AM machine builders and integrators, treating AM as a distinct application segment within its laser portfolio.
LPBF and other laser-based metal AM systems still depend on photonics suppliers for beam quality, stability, and serviceability, and Chinese machine OEMs increasingly source from domestic laser ecosystems. JPT's AM-focused showing extends that localization push into the component layer that sits under metal LPBF and related processes. For system builders qualifying laser sources into factory fleets, the practical takeaway is another China-based option when balancing cost, lead time, and process consistency-not a machine launch, but a supply-chain choice that shapes what fleets can scale.
