On October 26, the Caizhaowang (Procurement and Bidding Network) published a project filing notice confirming that Jigang's additive manufacturing production line project has been officially filed. The project involves the construction of Jigang's additive manufacturing production line; in recent years, traditional steel enterprises have been accelerating their layout in additive manufacturing as they transition toward the new materials sector. The filing information comes from a government filing notice published on Caizhaowang; investment amount and production capacity figures are subject to the details in the notice. Value for powder buyers: (1) The entry of a state-owned steel enterprise into additive manufacturing will create new large-scale metal powder procurement, typically conducted through public bidding; (2) State-owned enterprises maintain strict supplier admission systems, so it is advisable to prepare qualification and track-record materials in advance; (3) Watch the Shandong Public Resources Trading Platform for upcoming equipment and materials tenders.
