Germany-based GEFERTEC will exhibit a 700 kg WAAM wire-arc additive manufacturing compressor impeller at Formnext 2026 (November 17-20, Frankfurt, Berlin-Brandenburg joint booth, Hall 12.1 B101), one of the largest parts ever displayed made with the WAAM process. Also on show are a titanium alloy aircraft emergency exit frame, molds, and a first-time public reveal of a "fish-friendly" seawater pump impeller whose long airfoil-shaped blades let ingested fish pass through safely, a geometry that cannot be formed by conventional casting. Two new machines will be launched at the same time: the modular arc10X, which integrates into existing production lines and complements the arc80X with its maximum 8 m³ build volume, and the arcTitan dedicated to titanium alloys, combining plasma WAAM with a fully sealed inert atmosphere that keeps oxygen content controlled at 10-15 ppm throughout the process. Value for buyers: large structural components can replace castings and forgings with wire-based WAAM, offering high material utilization and lower overall cost than powder bed processes, making it suitable for energy, marine, and mold applications; the sealed titanium printing solution opens up the aviation structural parts market. GEFERTEC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Berlin industrial group B.I.G. (around 360 employees) and has announced plans to launch a containerized mobile additive manufacturing system aimed at in-situ, on-site production scenarios.
2026-11-11Zhongchao Holdings (002471.SZ) disclosed a report on its private placement to specific targets on the evening of November 11: 244 million shares at RMB 4.06 per share, for gross proceeds of RMB 992 million (net RMB 972 million), subscribed in cash by 17 investors, with Yixing Xingyi Guojin and Caitong Fund among the largest allotments. The proceeds mainly fund a high-end components project for aerospace engines and gas turbines: the implementing entity is its controlled grand-subsidiary Jiangsu Zhongchao Hangyu Precision Casting (Yixing, Jiangsu), with total project investment of RMB 1 billion (RMB 700 million to come from the proceeds), adding 1,000 tons per year of superalloy precision casting capacity, covering turbine casings, turbine rotors, guide vanes, combustor nozzles and other products; a further RMB 150 million will build an advanced superalloy precision forming intelligent manufacturing technology R&D project. The project has been filed and received environmental approval and has broken ground, with the new plant topped out; the construction period is 24 months, and annual revenue of RMB 1.852 billion is expected at full capacity. Customer lock-in is advancing in parallel: in September it signed a strategic procurement framework agreement with Qingdao Zhongke Guosheng, committing no less than 30% of designed annual capacity as dedicated reservation once the new plant is operational; in October it signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Beijing Zhongran Yuneng, with procurement expected to be no less than RMB 300 million over the next three years. As of the end of June, Jiangsu Precision Casting had orders in hand of RMB 60.1897 million, 2.46 times its first-half revenue. Buyer value: full capacity of 1,000 tons per year of superalloy castings will generate considerable demand for master alloys and alloy raw materials, and rising output of gas turbine and aero-engine components directly benefits superalloy powder and master alloy suppliers.
2026-11-11On November 11, the 10th page of PLA Daily published the feature "Metal 3D Printing Accelerates the Rewriting of Modern Military Industry": metal additive manufacturing is moving from trial production toward the systematic manufacturing stage, and the logic of military production and maintenance support will therefore be reshaped. Landmark cases: in March 2026, the U.S. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, after inspection, testing and certification, welded and installed a 3D-printed copper-nickel flange onto the piping of the Virginia-class nuclear submarine USS Washington — "printed parts being allowed aboard the boat" became a systemic turning point; in July 2026, during the Rim of the Pacific exercise, the U.S. Navy for the first time deployed a containerized metal additive-subtractive hybrid manufacturing system in an aircraft carrier hangar, enabling on-site manufacturing and repair of key components. Domestic progress: China's independently developed 3D-printed minimalist lightweight micro turbojet engine completed flight testing in November 2025 (carried by a drone to 6,000 meters, flying for 30 minutes at a maximum speed of Mach 0.75), with the number of parts reduced by about 60% and simultaneous improvements in fuel consumption rate and thrust-to-weight ratio; India's ISRO integrated 14 parts of its PS4 liquid rocket engine into a single 3D-printed piece, shortening the production cycle by about 60%. Value for buyers: military additive manufacturing "moving from emergency response to systematic" means that the military certification and volume supply window for copper-nickel, titanium alloy and superalloy powders is opening, and shipborne/vehicle-mounted mobile manufacturing cabins will drive demand for on-site powder inventory and supporting consumables.
