On October 10, People's Daily Online Shaanxi Channel reported on the development status of the Weinan 3D Printing Industry Cultivation Base: The base has gathered two chain leader enterprises, BLT (Bright Laser Technologies) and Shaanxi Zhituo Solid-State Additive Manufacturing, along with numerous key supporting enterprises, forming an industrial chain driven by chain leaders, supported by key enterprises, and widely participated in by SMEs. Shaanxi Zhituo has grown from an annual output value of less than 5 million yuan to a national-level specialized and sophisticated 'little giant' enterprise and a chain leader in Shaanxi Province's additive manufacturing industry chain. Its developed microchannel plate heat exchanger was selected as a typical additive manufacturing application scenario by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Shaanxi Jugao has entered the medical and aerospace markets with R&D of PEEK high-performance material 3D printing equipment and materials. By 2026, the base's enterprise operating revenue is expected to exceed 850 million yuan. This year, 67 technology-based SMEs were recognized, and cumulatively, 45 high-tech enterprises, 13 above-scale enterprises, 4 specialized and sophisticated SMEs, and 1 national-level specialized and sophisticated 'little giant' enterprise have been cultivated. Value to powder buyers: ① The production capacity layout of metal printing chain leaders such as BLT in Weinan will bring continuous equipment supporting and metal powder consumption; ② The scaling up of typical application scenarios such as microchannel plate heat exchangers corresponds to the demand for printing powders such as aluminum alloys and stainless steel; ③ The expansion of the western additive manufacturing cluster ecosystem can serve as a reference node for powder manufacturers' regional channel layout.
