The University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) has announced the award result for its laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing equipment procurement project (No. HCZB-2026-ZB1412). The winning supplier is AVIMETAL Additive Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., with a contract value of ¥963,000 and an evaluation score of 97.20 points. The project was tendered by Huacai Tendering Group Co., Ltd. The announcement specifies LPBF additive manufacturing equipment as the procurement item and lists the winner's registered address on Rongchang East Street in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (Yizhuang high-end industrial zone). The notice does not disclose process parameters such as equipment model, laser power, or build envelope, nor does it list compatible metal powder grades. AVIMETAL specializes in metal additive manufacturing equipment and metal powder materials; this delivery to USTB represents an installation for university research. As additive equipment continues to be deployed in academic research settings, the associated build qualification work will consume additive powders such as titanium alloys, superalloys, and stainless steels—a typical customer acquisition scenario for integrated equipment-plus-powder suppliers like AVIMETAL.
