Company Layout Analysis
Title 2023Global Large3DPrinter Market Share
“European and American Companies”: 68
“Chinese Companies”: 25
“Other Regions”: 7
Competitive Landscape of Technology Routes:
1. Metal Printing: The German duo (EOS/SLM) monopolizes the high-end market, while Chinese and American companies focus on large-scale deposition.
2. Construction Printing: Denmark’sCOBODleads the way, with China’s Yingchuang having the strongest engineering capabilities.
3. Multi-Material Printing: The United StatesHP/Desktop Metalis driving a revolution in binder jetting mass production.
Key Indicators for Purchasing Decisions
| Parameter | Industrial Grade Threshold | Civil Grade Threshold |
| Positioning Accuracy | ±50μm | ±200μm |
| Maximum Printing Speed | 300cm³/h（Metal） | 1000cm³/h（Plastic）
| Temperature Control Stability | ±2℃（全仓） | ±5℃ |
| Continuous Working Hours | >720Hours | >200Hours
| Software Ecosystem | SupportsSTEP/Parasolid | STLBasic Slicing |
Chinese Strengths and Breakthrough Directions
1. Platinum Technology: Achieving import substitution in aerospace and military industries, reducing titanium alloy printing costs to 60% of that in Europe and the United States.
2. Huashu High-Tech: Breaking through EOS patent barriers with an open-source strategy, reducing equipment prices by 40%.
3. Xinjinghe: Leading the world in giant component printing technology (>8m), serving the repair of the Three Gorges hydropower turbine.
> Warning: European and American restrictions on exports to China include metal printers with dimensions ≥1.5m. Domestic companies need to overcome high-precision long-stroke guide rails (error<0.01mm/m) and high-power lasers (>8kW) bottleneck technologies.
Industry Trend Predictions
1. Multi-Technology Integration:
– The penetration rate of hybrid manufacturing (printing + cutting) will increase from15%to40% by 2030.
2. Intelligent Upgrades:
– AIreal-time defect detection will become standard for high-end models (e.g., SiemensAdditive Quality).
3. Green Manufacturing:
– The recycling rate of metal powder will increase from60%to>95% (EU mandatory standard by 2025).
The essence of competition in large 3D printers is the integration of materials – equipment – software ecosystems. Chinese companies need to accelerate their layout in open material systems (e.g., supporting domestic high-temperature alloys) and cloud control platforms.
