Top 50 Chinese Tech Companies List Announced; BMF Stands Out as the Only 3D Printing Firm

It is reported that this is the first time Fortune has released the "China’s Top 50 Tech Companies" list, featuring enterprises that are using Chinese innovation to influence global technology and demonstrating a strategic vision rooted in China while connecting with the world. These firms are expanding the application scenarios across various industries, demonstrating Chinese tech prowess while bringing practical solutions to countless sectors. BMF's inclusion on the list is not only a testament to its leading position in global high-precision additive manufacturing but also highlights the influence of this technology in the current wave of industrial transformation and technological revolution.

Founded in 2016, BMF focuses on micro-nano scale 3D printing technology. It was among the first in the world to achieve 2-micron optical precision and stably integrate it into industrial production. Its pioneering technology, which fills a critical gap in high-precision additive manufacturing, aligns with the growing trend of miniaturization, precision, and integration in industrial production, quickly gaining adoption by innovative companies and leading research institutions in fields such as healthcare, electronics, new energy, and AI.

At the end of 2018, BMF initiated its global platform strategy, establishing operations in cities across China, including Chongqing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Zhuhai, Xiamen, and Yancheng. Internationally, it set up divisions, R&D centers, or sales offices in Tokyo, Boston, San Diego, London, and Frankfurt, synchronized with its domestic operations.

By June 2024, BMF had established partnerships with nearly 2,200 cutting-edge companies and top research institutions across 35 countries.

Amidst China's industrial upgrade and the development of new production capacities, BMF continues to innovate, iterating on technology and equipment to play a pivotal role in driving breakthroughs across industries and products. For instance, the company successfully produced a strong yet ultra-thin zirconia dental veneer with a minimum thickness of just 40 microns, advancing dental restoration from invasive to non-invasive procedures. It also developed a new bio-culture dish (reactor) containing simulated capillary structures, offering significant value to new drug development and precision medicine.

BMF's place on the Top 50 Chinese Tech Companies list is closely tied to its exceptional technological innovation, breakthrough applications, and global operational expansion. In the first half of this year, BMF unveiled its next-generation dual-precision stereolithography 3D printing technology and launched the Dual Series (D Series) devices: microArch® D0210 and microArch® D1025. These devices significantly enhance speed, quality, and convenience, resolving the inherent contradiction between high precision and large-scale manufacturing in additive manufacturing, once again pushing the boundaries of industrial 3D printing technology.

The D Series devices maintain BMF’s mastery of ultra-high precision and tolerance control while introducing an automated operation platform that makes industrial-grade 3D printing more intelligent, stable, and efficient. For the first time, these machines enable cross-scale processing ranging from 2μm to 100mm × 100mm × 50mm. In rapid prototyping, they provide high-speed, flexible, cost-effective solutions for precision electronics, biomedical applications, high-end communications, and semiconductors.

Currently, BMF not only boasts a wealth of cutting-edge industrial and research information from its equipment sales and printing services but also leverages its global network to lead in data collection and analysis, customer insight, and market monitoring. This data accumulation positions BMF as a strong force for nurturing innovative technologies and driving industrial transformation. In recent years, BMF has strategically partnered with numerous pioneering enterprises, academic institutions, and local governments, leveraging the advantages of "industry, academia, and research" to provide technical support and solutions across different industries. This has facilitated deep integration of technology and industrial chains, spurred the development of mass-producible innovative end products, and continuously improved the precision, efficiency, and reliability of industrial production.

As global competition in technology intensifies, BMF and other Chinese additive manufacturing companies are expected to continue their innovative efforts, advancing the technology's applications and helping industries achieve precision and intelligent transformations in industrial production. This, in turn, will help Chinese manufacturing reach the global stage, contributing to worldwide technological progress and commercial growth.
