On October 22, 2026, General Technology Group Machine Tool Engineering Research Institute announced the candidate suppliers for its wire-powder coaxial feeding laser additive manufacturing system procurement project. Suzhou Rongsu Zhizao Technology Co., Ltd. ranked first, and Shanghai Xiqi Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. ranked second. The public notice period runs until October 26, 2026. The project number is CG202608-3132H, the procurement method is negotiated procurement, and the procurement agency is CNTIC International Tendering Co., Ltd. The procurement target is a wire-powder coaxial feeding laser additive manufacturing system. Its core feature is the simultaneous feeding of wire and metal powder into the melt pool within the same laser processing head, representing a hybrid feeding configuration within the directed energy deposition (DED) technology route. This route combines the high deposition efficiency of wire with the flexible control of composition and microstructure offered by powder, making it suitable for the additive manufacturing and repair of large metal components. The purchaser is the Machine Tool Engineering Research Institute under General Technology Group, indicating that the demand side is aiming at full-machine-level integrated verification of machine tool equipment and additive manufacturing processes, rather than outsourcing a single process. From an industry chain perspective, the inclusion of wire-powder coaxial feeding equipment in the procurement list of a national-level machine tool research institute means that hybrid-feed DED is moving from the laboratory toward the equipmentization and engineering verification stage. For the powder segment, such systems impose finer classification requirements on powder particle size distribution, flowability, and compositional matching with the wire. Powder suppliers need to have stable supply capacity for small batches and multiple specifications. Value for powder buyers: (1) Pay attention to the particle size classification and flowability indicators of metal powders for DED, and engage early with the compatibility requirements of hybrid feeding processes; (2) Watch for the small-batch, multi-grade procurement demand brought about by the implementation of wire-powder coaxial feeding systems, and assess your own supply flexibility; (3) Track General Technology Group's subsequent additive equipment procurement trends to identify the direction of incremental demand for powder categories.
