On September 22, 2026, Chuanguan News · Luzhou Observer reported: In the production workshop of Luzhou Hanfei Aerospace Technology Development Co., Ltd. (Hanfei Technology) in Longmatan District, Luzhou, more than 40 metal 3D printers are operating at full capacity, producing aerospace engine blades, structural components, and more. Through 3D printing, the company has reduced the weight of aeroengine components by 30%, increased the finished product qualification rate from 20% to 98%, and achieved revenue exceeding 80 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 186%. Background: Luzhou is a highland for the Southwest Additive Manufacturing Industrial Cluster—Hanfei Technology has built a 30,000-square-meter production center (featured in an August Economic Daily special report), supported by Ningbo Zhongyuan New Materials' 30 powder production lines (5 lines in Phase I were put into operation in September 2025); this report provides data on full-capacity mass production and a surge in qualification rate, indicating that the cluster has entered a phase of volume ramp-up from the construction period. Xinhua Daily's 'Yangtze River Economic Belt High-Quality Development Research Tour' simultaneously published this content, and the scale effect of the Southwest Additive Manufacturing Cluster has attracted attention from media at or above the provincial level. Value to powder buyers: The full-capacity mass production of more than 40 machines directly amplifies the stable consumption of titanium alloy and superalloy powders; the leap in qualification rate from 20% to 98% confirms the maturity of the 'powder-process-post-processing' chain, bringing repeat purchase opportunities for Southwest powder suppliers. Pay attention to their powder procurement grades and specifications.
