Baishida Completes Angel+ Funding Round, Focusing on Consumer-Grade 3D Printing Equipment

2026-10-26 · Impact score: 60

Reported on October 26, Baishida has completed an Angel+ funding round, with proceeds to be used for R&D of consumer-grade 3D printing equipment and channel development. The company targets the consumer market, focusing on entry-level desktop devices and supporting consumables; this round is in the tens of millions of RMB. The consumer 3D printing sector has seen active fundraising in recent years, but metal printing has yet to gain volume at this price point; whether the company later extends into metal consumables is worth watching. Value for powder buyers: (1) Consumer-grade devices do not currently create direct demand for metal powder, but if a desktop metal product line is launched later, it would replicate the small-package powder opportunity seen with Chromalab's GLB-M1; (2) The consumer channel's consumables repurchase model is mature, and powder manufacturers could explore small-format retail packaging; (3) This item has limited direct value for powder procurement and is included to track the equipment side's movement toward metal.

百世达完成天使+轮融资，专注消费级3D打印设备

10月26日报道，百世达完成天使+轮融资，资金将用于消费级3D打印设备研发与渠道建设。公司定位消费级市场，主打入门级桌面设备与配套耗材，本轮融资为千万元级。消费级3D打印赛道近年融资活跃，但金属打印在该价位段尚未放量；公司后续是否向金属耗材延伸值得关注。对粉末采购商的价值：①消费级设备暂不构成金属粉末直接需求，但若后续推出桌面金属产品线，将复制铬莱铂GLB-M1的小包装粉末机会；②消费级渠道耗材复购模式成熟，粉末厂商可探索小规格零售包装；③本条对粉末采购直接价值有限，收录用于跟踪设备端向金属延伸的动向。

Giant Intelligent Manufacturing Completes Tens of Millions RMB Angel Round: 40-Arc, 20-Meter-Class Ultra-Large Metal Additive Manufacturing

Reported on October 27, Giant Intelligent Manufacturing announced the completion of an angel funding round in the tens of millions of RMB. The company focuses on ultra-large metal wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) equipment and processes, targeting integrated forming of large aerospace structural components. Its self-developed equipment uses a 40-arc parallel wire-feed scheme, achieving a maximum build size in the 20-meter class—one of the largest metal additive manufacturing capabilities publicly reported in China—and, combined with machining, can deliver large titanium alloy and superalloy structural parts. The funding will be used for equipment delivery, capacity expansion, and advancement of aerospace customer validation projects. Wire-arc additive manufacturing uses wire feedstock and has limited direct powder demand, but it represents the accelerating penetration of metal additive manufacturing into ultra-large structural components. Value to powder buyers: (1) commercialization of ultra-large-scale wire-arc additive manufacturing will drive procurement of supporting titanium alloy/superalloy powders in hybrid processes; (2) once validation and volume production of large aerospace parts ramp up, supporting powder and wire suppliers will benefit in tandem; (3) it is advisable to track its equipment delivery customer list and subsequent funding pace to gauge the real progress of industrialization.

New Solvent-Free Debinding Process Achieves 98% Density in AA6061 Material Extrusion Printing

October 27 — Swiss research institute Empa, in collaboration with a Polish team, has developed a new solvent-free debinding process for AA6061 aluminum alloy material extrusion printing, achieving 98% relative density after sintering. Conventional metal material extrusion (MEX) debinding relies on chemical solvent immersion, which involves long process chains and high solvent disposal costs. The new process uses a dedicated binder system to enable purely thermal debinding, eliminating the solvent bath step, shortening the process chain, and reducing environmental compliance burdens. The process is currently at the laboratory scale-up stage; the team's next steps are to validate complex thin-wall structures and batch-to-batch consistency, and to assess feasibility for extension to other aluminum alloy grades. Value for powder buyers: (1) demand for MIM-grade fine aluminum alloy powders for material extrusion printing will rise as solvent-free debinding simplifies the process; (2) if AA6061 partially replaces AlSi10Mg laser powder in the market, it will affect the demand structure for mid- to low-end aluminum alloy powders; (3) monitor powder particle size and oxygen content specifications once the process is industrialized, and secure supplier qualification early.

University of Turku Adopts Aerosint Multi-Material Powder Deposition System, Targeting Fusion and Aerospace Components

Reported on October 27, the University of Turku in Finland has introduced an Aerosint multi-material powder deposition system for research on multi-material metal 3D printing of fusion energy devices and aerospace components. Aerosint's roller-based selective powder deposition technology can deposit two or more metal powders in different regions within the same layer, enabling integrated forming of dissimilar-metal gradient structures such as copper/steel and copper/tungsten; it is currently one of the mainstream approaches for multi-material LPBF. The University of Turku will work with European fusion and aerospace organizations to carry out material compatibility verification, with key focus areas including tungsten-copper divertors and thermal management components for extreme-service conditions. Value for powder buyers: (1) commercialization of multi-material powder deposition will open up new procurement combinations in which tungsten, copper, and steel powders are mixed by region; (2) if fusion devices move toward engineering deployment, demand for tungsten-based powders will rise significantly—watch the European ITER supply chain; (3) domestic players in multi-material powder-bed systems are scarce, and the technology window is worth tracking.
