On November 5, 2026, China Fortune Network cited an institutional research report stating that the Apple supply chain is expected to enter a new round of technological innovation from 2027 to 2028, with titanium alloy 3D printing, 3D glass, and on-device AI glasses identified as key areas for new capital expenditure. Working backward from the new product launch schedule, the supply chain will receive orders intensively before the end of the year to pave the way for mass production next year. The report named equipment players such as BLT and Farsoon Technologies, as well as Huichuangda, which strengthened its grinding and post-processing capabilities through the acquisition of Chuncas Technology, and Huicheng Vacuum with its PVD coating equipment, judging that the order catalyst is now in countdown. The report concludes that the penetration rate of titanium alloy 3D printing in the Apple supply chain will rise significantly, with the benefits covering three process stages: equipment, post-processing, and coating. The equipment stage corresponds to metal additive manufacturing systems, the post-processing stage points to grinding capabilities, and the coating stage involves PVD equipment; together these form the process chain that takes titanium alloy parts from printing to finished product. The report did not disclose specific powder grades, particle size ranges, or printing parameters, providing only a directional judgment on rising penetration and the timelines of year-end orders and mass production next year. The same report mentioned the accelerated deployment of embodied intelligence, with Agibot releasing its Lingqu OS 1.0 and multi-scenario hardware, and, alongside Meta's moves, related本体 and core component companies also drawing attention. This content was presented alongside the titanium alloy 3D printing supply chain in the report, without further explanation of a direct supply relationship with metal powders or the additive manufacturing segment.
