The newly added EP-M2050 by Jingye Additive is currently the world's leading SLM (Selective Laser Melting) metal 3D printer in terms of forming size, with dimensions reaching 2050mm x 2050mm x 1000mm. Equipped with 36 lasers, precise multi-laser positioning, and stitching accuracy control technology, it ensures efficient production and consistent print quality. It is capable of printing materials such as titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, high-temperature nickel-based alloys, mold steel, stainless steel, and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, making it suitable for the direct manufacturing of large, high-precision, high-performance components in aerospace and other fields.

The consistency of metal 3D printing equipment is a crucial indicator of the quality of metal 3D-printed parts. Through years of technical accumulation and practice, Jingye Additive has successfully developed multiple process integration and optimization paths related to "material-design-performance," skillfully applying key technologies such as topology optimization and support-free printing, and continuously making improvements. Notably, the company has achieved remarkable success in the application of large and super-large metal 3D printing equipment.

As of now, Jingye Additive has successfully delivered over 100,000 parts, with cumulative printing hours exceeding 300,000 hours, and the longest printing time for a single component nearing 1,000 hours. All delivered parts have received excellent feedback and high praise from customers, with a current sufficient order volume and equipment operating at full capacity.

As an essential part of the intelligent manufacturing industry, the advancement and innovation of metal 3D printing technology are of great significance. Jingye Additive has preliminarily implemented IoT (Internet of Things) process monitoring functions for some domestic 3D printing equipment, enabling remote real-time monitoring of key indicators such as powder spreading process, printing time, oxygen content, fan speed, and chamber temperature. This ensures effective control of print quality, significantly improves production efficiency, and reasonably reduces labor costs. Moreover, the application of IoT control technology marks a solid step forward in the company's digital management, laying a strong foundation for realizing a future unmanned factory.
