Since its inception, BCX Laser has dedicated itself to delivering cutting-edge laser processing solutions and high-quality 3D printing equipment. With robust R&D capabilities and outstanding market performance, the company has amassed extensive expertise in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and medical devices, earning widespread customer recognition. In 2024, BCX achieved significant milestones in expanding industrial applications and innovating products, laying a solid foundation for 2025.

Key advancements include:

- Technical Breakthroughs: Years of research culminated in the development of domestically produced lasers capable of matching the performance parameters of imported ones. The earliest models have been operating reliably for six years.

- Specialized Laser Products: The company offers a range of 3D printing lasers, including air-cooled (300–500W), water-cooled (300–1000W), hybrid spot (500/4000W), green light (100–500W), and 2µm wavelength systems. Notably, the water-cooled lasers feature short-term power stability of ±1%@24h, long-term stability of ±1.5%, beam quality factor M² ≤1.1, and a peak electro-optical conversion efficiency of 40%. The green wavelength lasers at 532nm excel in 3D printing applications for highly reflective materials like copper.

- Mass Production and Uniformity: By perfecting multi-laser consistency, the company's technology enables stable, synchronized operation across 40 units, ensuring superior print quality.

- Rapid Response Times: Specialized lasers achieve a minimum activation delay of 5–6 microseconds, enhancing processing efficiency by a factor of 10 compared to traditional lasers.

- In-House Development of Core Components: These include high-power pump sources, collimators, beam combiners, isolators, acousto-optic Q-switches, and emission mirrors, all achieving globally competitive performance.

These advancements have attracted an increasing number of 3D metal printing machine manufacturers who use BCX lasers across industries such as mold manufacturing, industrial components, and consumer electronics. For instance, over 100 metal 3D printers equipped with BCX lasers have been deployed in a shoe mold project, demonstrating cost-efficient investments.
