August 17, 2026, Tianjin Daily (reposted by Northnet): Giant Manufacturing (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd. is committed to the "R&D in Beijing, transformation in Binhai" model and leverages the cross-scale additive manufacturing research team at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) to focus on ultra-large-format metal additive manufacturing, aiming to become a leading domestic 3D printing enterprise. Its core breakthrough is a first-of-its-kind support-free printing process, which can reduce component weight by over 30% and cut some costs by more than 70%, while paving the way for translating cutting-edge university research into industrial products in key sectors such as marine engineering and high-end equipment. By eliminating the design, printing, and removal of support structures, this process shortens delivery cycles and reduces support material waste. The forming of ultra-large components places higher demands on equipment stability, process control, and powder supply. Value for powder buyers: ① The support-free process boosts powder utilization and reduces losses from support material waste; ② Ultra-large components consume large quantities of powder per part, making orders from equipment-installed customers highly valuable, so it's worth building long-term relationships; ③ Watch for localized powder supply opportunities driven by the Tianjin Binhai metal additive manufacturing cluster and marine engineering orders.
