According to reports, the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society and China Machinery Industry Federation recently announced the 2024 winners of the Mechanical Industry Science and Technology Award. The project titled “High-Efficiency SLM Material Preparation Technology and Equipment Based on Gradient Powder-Laying” was jointly submitted by University of Science and Technology Beijing and 3D Painting Technology Co., Ltd. （三帝科技））(hereafter referred to as "3DPTEK") and has been awarded the second prize. Key team members include Zhang Baicheng, Qu Xuanhui, Chen Qingwen, Zhang Lin, Wen Yaojie, and Liu Min.

The Mechanical Industry Science and Technology Award, approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology, is a comprehensive national accolade within the mechanical industry. For 2024, a total of 430 projects received awards, with five grand prizes, 40 first prizes, 197 second prizes, and 188 third prizes. This honor bestowed upon 3DPTEK highlights the company's strong commitment and capability in technological innovation.

△Gradient Metal Parts: 316L-CuSn10; 1.2709-316L.

The awarded project introduces a pioneering concept of “high-efficiency gradient powder-laying technology for SLM materials,” developing a technique for the high-efficiency production of multi-phase continuous gradient SLM materials. This innovation facilitates stable placement of bi-phase or multi-phase continuous gradient powder layers, contributing significantly to advancing China’s high-efficiency material preparation technologies.

As a leading domestic provider of 3D printing equipment and rapid manufacturing services, 3DPTEK has independently developed equipment such as the gradient metal AFS-M120X(T) and the multi-material additive-subtractive gradient metal AFS-M300XAS. The AFS-M300XAS can support the development and research of composite metal materials, allowing up to four materials in a gradient, with continuous transitions in the horizontal direction and compositional changes or gradients in the vertical direction. This technology lowers the manufacturing barriers for gradient composite materials, reduces raw material waste, and enhances R&D efficiency. It has promising applications in high-throughput material preparation, aerospace, automotive, medical, and mold processing industries. 3DPTEK currently collaborates with numerous academic institutions, including University of Science and Technology Beijing, Shandong University of Technology, Lanzhou University of Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Beihang University, Central Iron and Steel Research Institute, and the Shenyang Institute of Automation, continuously advancing innovative, reliable, and practical solutions for gradient functional metal materials.
