标题: Lens Technology to Invest RMB 70 Million in Upgrading Production with 3D Printing, Targeting 1 Million Titanium Smartphone Frames per Year
On November 6, 2026, Nanjixiong learned that Lens Precision (Taizhou) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Lens Technology, recently announced a technical upgrade project for titanium frames. It plans to invest RMB 70 million, retrofit some aluminum-frame production equipment and processes at its existing site, and add 3D printers and supporting automation systems.

The project will not build a separate factory. Instead, it will repurpose existing capacity, shifting part of its aluminum-frame production to titanium frames. After the upgrade, it is expected to produce 1 million titanium smartphone frames annually, while total smartphone metal-frame capacity will remain unchanged at 15 million units per year.

Lens Technology mainly makes protective glass and metal structural components for mid- to high-end smartphones, serving major manufacturers including Apple. Titanium frames have become increasingly common in premium phones in recent years, from the Apple Watch Ultra to flagship models from Huawei and Xiaomi. Using 3D printing for mass production of titanium frames signals that metal additive manufacturing is moving beyond prototypes and small batches toward production lines at consumer-electronics scale.

Nanjixiong's view Consumer electronics is one of the major end markets for metal 3D printing. As a leading supply-chain company, Lens Technology's production-line investment direction may be a bellwether.
