Bright Laser Technologies (BLT): From Automated Metal 3D Printing Lines to Aerospace-Grade Large-Scale Applications

At the 2025 Formnext Shenzhen exhibition, Bright Laser Technologies (BLT) showcased its latest achievements in intelligent manufacturing, large-scale equipment, and aerospace applications. As one of China’s foremost metal additive manufacturing enterprises, BLT has built a complete ecosystem encompassing equipment, software, materials, and large-scale production services.

1. Automated and Intelligent Production Lines

BLT demonstrated its automated production line tailored for metal additive manufacturing, seamlessly integrating powder management, intelligent monitoring, and post-processing.

· Powder Supply: Automated feeding ensures consistency and minimizes manual intervention.

· Intelligent Monitoring: Real-time data collection and closed-loop control guarantee stable quality across batches.

· Post-Processing Integration: Includes heat treatment, machining, and surface finishing for a true end-to-end solution.

This system has already been adopted by leading clients in aerospace, industrial tooling, and high-value manufacturing.

2. Large-Format Equipment: From Medium Builds to Extra-Large Structures

BLT has developed a diversified portfolio of large-scale machines:

· BLT-S800 (800 × 800 × 600 mm): Ideal for large-format industrial parts, supporting up to 12 lasers.

· BLT-S1500 (1500 × 1500 × 1200 mm): Capable of printing oversized components, with scalability to even larger custom systems.

These platforms support multi-laser collaboration, ensuring both efficiency and dimensional accuracy.

3. Aerospace Applications: Titanium Alloys and Beyond

BLT highlighted a variety of aerospace-grade components:

· Titanium Alloy Structures: Lightweight yet strong, covering fuselage components and structural supports.

· Large-Scale Engine Parts: Complex geometries that reduce assembly steps and improve reliability.

· Next-Generation Materials: Ongoing exploration of high-temperature alloys and specialty materials for extreme environments.

These achievements underscore BLT’s role as a core supplier within China’s aerospace additive manufacturing supply chain.

4. Mass Production Services and Industrial Ecosystem

In addition to equipment sales, BLT operates one of the world’s largest additive manufacturing service centers, with hundreds of installed machines providing batch production for clients across aerospace, medical, energy, and tooling industries.

Its vertically integrated ecosystem—encompassing equipment, powders, software, and production services—positions BLT not just as a supplier but as a full-spectrum solution provider driving industrial adoption of 3D printing.

BLT’s showcase at Formnext Shenzhen revealed a clear trajectory: scaling additive manufacturing from isolated applications to fully automated, intelligent, and industrialized ecosystems. From automated production lines and multi-laser large-format machines to aerospace-grade titanium parts, BLT is pushing the boundaries of metal 3D printing—transforming it into a backbone technology for the next generation of high-end manufacturing.
