Shenzhen Guangyi Precision secures angel round from Qichuang Venture Capital and Leaguer Venture Capital

Shenzhen Guangyi Precision, a metal additive manufacturing startup founded in November 2025, has closed an angel round of financing from Qichuang Venture Capital and Leaguer Venture Capital. The company develops SLM (selective laser melting) equipment, manufacturing processes, and software. Its founding team includes a CEO with seven years of experience in laser weapons and seven years as chief technology officer at Shenzhen Sunshine Laser & Electronics (Shenzhen Sunshine) for 3D printing, who also participated in the 2025 X-Day Xilihu Roadshow Next Star special event. The company is headquartered in Shenzhen, China, and is now operational with its first funding tranche.

Guangyi Precision enters a crowded Chinese metal LPBF market already occupied by established domestic players such as BLT (Bright Laser Technologies), Farsoon Technologies, and UnionTech, as well as global leaders EOS and SLM Solutions. The Chinese metal AM equipment market is growing rapidly — Shenzhen reported a 71.8% year-over-year increase in 3D printing equipment output in Q1 2026, and national 3D printer production rose 54% in the same period. Guangyi Precision is a very early-stage entrant with no disclosed products, customers, or revenue. Its differentiation will depend on whether its CEO's combined laser weapons and SLM experience translates into a differentiated hardware architecture or cost structure, rather than simply matching existing open-platform SLM designs. The angel round is small and typical for a pre-revenue hardware startup; the company must now deliver a commercial machine and secure beta customers to justify follow-on funding.

For buyers evaluating Chinese metal AM equipment, Guangyi Precision is not yet a viable supplier. The company needs to demonstrate a working machine, secure at least one reference customer, and establish service and material supply chains before it can compete with BLT or Farsoon. This is a seed-stage bet on team expertise, not a market event.
