HBD: Advancing Metal 3D Printing with Innovative Solutions

Founded in 2007, HBD has specialized in the development of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology for additive manufacturing. The company operates from bases in Guangdong and Shanghai and has recently expanded its international presence with a new office in Munich, Germany.

HBD is currently constructing two new factories, each with an area of approximately 50,000 square meters, in Shanghai and Zhongshan. These facilities are expected to be completed by 2024, further enhancing the company's capabilities in advanced manufacturing.

The HBD metal AM system earns high praise from industry users for its outstanding laser beam quality, optimized gas flow configuration, and consistent forming quality. Particularly, the HBD 1000Pro and HBD 400 have demonstrated significant advantages such as cost savings, shortened production cycles, and reduced component weight. These innovations have successfully addressed various challenges in industry manufacturing, resulting in stable partnerships with numerous prestigious scientific research institutes.

In a recent project involving the 3D printing of an aircraft regenerative cooling combustion chamber, the HBD 1000Pro metal additive manufacturing (AM) system triumphed over the challenge of treating internal surfaces. The combustion chamber's outer wall is characterized by a multitude of longitudinally curved rectangular internal channels, each with a cross-section of 1mm by 1.5mm.

Traditional manufacturing methods would take approximately two months to produce such a component, but the metal 3D printing process has not only lowered production costs but also drastically reduced the production timeline to about ten days. Furthermore, it has enhanced the product qualification rate and uniformity, significantly diminishing the reliance on manual craftsmanship.

In efforts to strengthen their technological expertise and innovative edge, HBD has embarked on extensive collaborations with companies in the Consumer Electronics Industry, focusing on exploring lean production models tailored for scalable additive manufacturing solutions.

One notable collaboration involves the Luban Titanium Alloy Hinge, independently developed by HONOR, with participation from several additive manufacturing companies including HBD. This hinge is a key component of the HONOR Magic V2, playing a pivotal role in achieving a remarkable thickness breakthrough of 9.90mm. By harnessing the benefits of titanium alloy technology, the axle cover within the hinge is made lighter and thinner, resulting in reduced overall thickness and weight of the folding screen.
