Jinqi Toys: 5,500 FDM 3D Printers Driving Scaled Toy Production Across 6,000 SKUs

The 2025 Formnext Shenzhen exhibition welcomed more than 20,000 professional visitors onsite, while Panda3dp.com’s livestream drew over 34,000 viewers.

Among the exhibitors, Panda3dp.com visited Jinqi Toys, a company that has risen to prominence through large-scale adoption of 3D printing for consumer products. Manager Hua revealed that behind its vast product lineup lies a super farm of 5,000–6,000 FDM 3D printers, making Jinqi a model of scaled industrial application of additive manufacturing in China’s consumer sector.

Jinqi has become a widely recognized brand—featured multiple times on CCTV—with every toy on display produced entirely within its own printing farm.

1. Super Print Farm: Scale and Efficiency

· Equipment: 5,000–6,000 FDM 3D printers forming a formidable production backbone.

· Team: A workforce of 80–90 staff managing this massive digital production system.

· Technology: Primarily FDM, with extensive deployment of multi-color printing systems to achieve vibrant designs.

2. Expansive Product Portfolio: From Land, Sea, and Air to Stress Relief

Jinqi’s booth was filled with whimsical, playful designs across multiple series:

· Animal Models: Including vipers (printed in a single piece), fish, chicks, crocodile skeletons, dinosaur skeletons, turtles, and more.

· Land–Sea–Air Themes: Covering creatures and vehicles across all environments.

· Mythological Series: Inspired by legendary figures and folklore.

· Stress-Relief Toys: Interactive push-button and fidget toys with strong playability.

· Trendy Accessories: Such as keychains shaped like small animals.

3. Materials and Processes: Eco-Friendly PLA and Multi-Color Printing

· Material: All toys are printed in PLA (polylactic acid), a biodegradable, renewable-resource-based material particularly well-suited to children’s products.

· Process: While most toys in the market remain single-color, Jinqi has adopted multi-color FDM printing at scale. The brightly hued animal toys showcased onsite required no post-painting, demonstrating high efficiency and aesthetic appeal.

In a hall dominated by industrial-grade equipment, Jinqi Toys stood out by demonstrating the consumer-side industrialization of 3D printing. Rather than focusing on cutting-edge technology, its strength lies in proving that additive manufacturing is already capable of sustaining a mature, mass-market brand. With thousands of printers addressing FDM’s efficiency challenge through sheer scale, and with a sharp focus on consumer demand for personalization, rapid iteration, and diversity, Jinqi has transformed 3D printing’s flexibility and PLA’s eco-friendliness into core value propositions.

Its model offers a compelling case study for how 3D printing can evolve from prototyping to large-scale consumer manufacturing, delivering both economic viability and market relevance.
