The 2026 Hunan Provincial Science and Technology Awards list was officially announced on August 17, with Farsoon Technologies' (688433) project, 'Multi-Laser Additive Manufacturing Technology and Equipment for High-Performance Complex Metal Components,' receiving the First Prize in the Hunan Provincial Technical Invention Awards, jointly conferred by the CPC Hunan Provincial Committee and the Hunan Provincial People's Government. Farsoon's R&D team has overcome core technical challenges in multi-laser metal 3D printing, launching a series of industrial-grade multi-laser metal printing systems that enable integrated, high-efficiency manufacturing of complex metal components. The dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of these components meet stringent requirements in high-end applications, and the technology has already been deployed at scale across multiple key industries. Multi-laser systems represent the core direction for large-format, high-efficiency metal additive manufacturing, and the province's highest technical invention accolade underscores that domestically produced multi-laser LPBF equipment has achieved the technical maturity to compete head-to-head with imported systems. Value for powder buyers: ① The growing adoption of large-format multi-laser equipment will significantly increase powder consumption per machine, boosting shipment volumes of mainstream grades such as TC4, IN718, and AlSi10Mg; ② Multi-laser systems impose stricter requirements on powder batch consistency, flowability, and satellite powder control, benefiting suppliers with robust quality management; ③ Keep an eye on powder supply tenders and long-term agreement opportunities from customers installing Farsoon equipment.
