Founded in 2017, Zhongti is a national high-tech enterprise specializing in research, production and sales of metal powders for 3D printing, with nearly 20 years of accumulated technology experience. Capacity exceeds 4,000 tonnes across more than 30 production lines. Research personnel account for over 20% of its workforce. Subsidiaries in Shanghai Hongqiao, Frankfurt and California support its international presence.
The company's two main exhibition themes were efficient thermal management and lightweighting.
A broad aluminum alloy portfolio
Ruan said AlSi10Mg is the most widely used mainstream grade. Zhongti's enhanced version achieves sphericity exceeding 99.6%.

High-strength Scalmalloy, an aluminum-magnesium-scandium alloy, is produced domestically under authorization from Airbus subsidiary APWORKS. It has tensile strength of at least 520 MPa and particularly good anodizing performance among aluminum alloys, serving aerospace and new-energy vehicles. Ruan said overseas subsidiaries are already using it to replace imported materials, with good compatibility across printing systems.

Zhongti also introduced the thermally conductive EX grade and aluminum 4-series alloys including Al40, Al0389 and Al0436. Developed with leading customers, these customized grades cover strengths from over 400 MPa to over 600 MPa, accommodating different strength and ductility needs.

Recycled titanium powder: approximately one-tenth the emissions
A differentiated offering converts waste powder and titanium chips through internally developed hydrogenation-dehydrogenation and plasma spheroidization into powder suitable for printing. Despite the recycled feedstock, performance is comparable with titanium alloy powder produced from conventional bar stock.
Zhongti obtained SCS recycled certification relatively early in the industry and has entered the supply chain of a major international consumer electronics company. Carbon emissions are approximately 10% of those from conventional EIGA processing, an attractive feature as ESG requirements become stricter.
Printing powder specifications include a 15–53 μm particle size range, flow time under 40 seconds and sphericity described as above 99.3%–99.5%, supporting printing consistency.
Other products and process capabilities
The booth also featured high-purity copper, copper-chromium-zirconium for strength and thermal conductivity, aerospace-grade copper-chromium-niobium, tool steel, high-temperature nickel alloys and precious-metal silver powders.

The company's process portfolio includes its internally developed AMP atomization, with twice the output of conventional standard atomization, plasma spheroidization, described in the source alongside PREP, and plasma atomization. Processes are matched to different powders.
Upcoming expansion
Ruan outlined several plans:
• Anhui factory phase two: Acquisition of 266 mu, approximately 177,333 square meters. Initial construction covers 70 mu with eight factory buildings, targeted for completion and use by the end of 2026.
• Shanghai research center: A new materials R&D facility exceeding 2,000 square meters in Hongqiao, collaborating with Shanghai Jiao Tong University and other universities.
• California: New aluminum and titanium powder lines for the local North American market.
• AI upgrades to its MES production system to improve intelligent manufacturing.
Nanjixiong's observation
The portfolio spans consumer electronics to aerospace. Recycled titanium's ESG positioning and deeper aluminum grade development illustrate a shift from selling materials toward materials solutions. Simultaneous expansion in Anhui and overseas indicates faster capacity growth and globalization among leading powder suppliers.
