On September 23, 2026, a delegation from the Industry-Education Integration Center of Tianfu College, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (including faculty involved in copper powder and additive manufacturing projects), visited Mianyang Hengyi Technology Co., Ltd. for an enterprise visit, job development, and industry-academia-research collaboration meeting. The company's plant covers approximately 6,000 m² over two floors and includes functional zones for precision machining, 4-axis machining, metal 3D printing, and non-standard equipment assembly. Its equipment fleet continues to expand, and by year-end it is expected to reach manufacturing and pilot-scale capacity on the order of 40–50 units. Directions for university-enterprise cooperation include students entering the company for on-the-job training, job role briefings, safety training, and logistics support. Hengyi Technology offers students opportunities for deep participation in real production and operations scenarios. Mianyang is a key city for additive manufacturing in Sichuan (with multiple additive manufacturing enterprises clustered in Youxian District). Hengyi Technology's capacity expansion, combined with college training cooperation, strengthens the manufacturing and pilot-scale segments of additive manufacturing in northern Sichuan. Value to powder buyers: pilot-scale capacity of 40–50 units brings sustained procurement demand for titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel powders; equipment selection and consumables procurement at the industry-education integration base represent an entry point for powder suppliers into Mianyang's additive manufacturing ecosystem.
