Some people describe 3D printing as "the ideas of the last century, the technology of the last century, the market of this century".

The 3D printing industry, which has ushered in a boom in development with a wide range of application channels, is limited byLack of material types, production costs, and market awarenessand other problems, which have been difficult to develop on a large scale. In Yancheng, Jiangsu, there is a dark horse company, which has carried out a lot of software algorithm optimization, process improvement and machine design innovation in response to the challenges of metal 3D printing in terms of efficiency and cost. These technological innovations make the device in3C consumer electronics, shoe molds, oral denturesand other fields, which have given new vitality to the 3D printing technology with a history of more than 100 years. According to the official website of Qichacha, recently,Micron (Jiangsu) 3D Technology***(hereinafter referred to as "Micron 3D").The first round of strategic financing of nearly 100 million yuan, by the industrial sideYueda Automobile Industry**, Huagong Technology(000988) Co-led the investment, with the participation of Tianworm Capital and Xuzhou Airport Development Zone.

Company sinceSeptember 2021Since its establishment, it has focused on the production, manufacturing and related services of metal SLM equipment, committed to underlying technological innovation, self-developed slicing and control software, and achieved many disruptive designs and innovations.

This round of financing will be used for:Large-scale production and manufacturing of a new generation of SLM metal 3D printing equipment and promotion, accelerate titanium alloy 3C consumer electronics, shoe moldsand other areas of infiltration.

Up to now, Micron 3D has shipped more than 500 devices, of which the new metal SLM equipment market in 2023 is at the forefront of the marketThe new market share of dental SLM equipment ranks first

In just 3 years, it becameThe only one in the countryHow does a 3D printing company that integrates software algorithms, control and material technology to provide multi-threaded solutions do it? Let's start with its founder, Dr. Li Shuai.

Some people describe 3D printing as "the ideas of the last century, the technology of the last century, the market of this century". Because of 3D printing, it has gone through a hundred years of process from virtual to real. In 2021, Micron 3D, as a "specialized, special and new" industrial project, settled in Yandu District, Yancheng City. Its founders are Li Shuai and Chen Zhichao, the first batch of 3D printing doctors in China, who have been deeply involved in the industry for many years. The data shows thatDr. Li ShuaiStudied under the additive manufacturing research group of Huazhong University of Science and TechnologyProfessor Shi Yusheng(China's 3D printing leader), and Nanyang Technological University, the world's leading research institution for additive manufacturing, has been engaged in the research of additive manufacturing equipment, technology, application development and so on. Co-founder, Dr. Chen ZhichaoIt is known as the field of 3D printing software"Huake-Zhang Xiaolong".。Li Shuai recalls the process of starting a business and is still full of emotion. During his studies, he was exposed to 3D printing technology, especially metal 3D printing. Beyond the ideal, it is the reality, 3D printing to the market is to face the pressure of technological innovation and the impact of market demand, Micron 3D is no exception.

Micron 3D has been focusing on its own basic technology since the beginning of its business, and is committed to becoming the only company in China that independently designs all structural parts, software and control systems.

Dental SLM Equipment 2023

No. 1 in new market share

In December 2023, according to the latest data released by AMR, an additive manufacturing research company, the size of the 3D printing industry is expected to rapidly expand from $18.8 billion in 2023 to $119 billion by 2032. among othersslmThe technology route is growing almost exponentially in terms of growth rate and proportion, and is the sum of all other routes. 3D printing, also known as metal additive manufacturing and additive manufacturing, has gone through three stages of industrialization in the past decade. Since 2008, the United States ** Obama has provided manufacturing back to the United States, and Germany has provided industry 40 began, and the country began the exploration stage of industrializationIt is mainly research equipment purchased by domestic universities and research institutes;The second stage is mainly for the mass manufacturing of metal 3D printing in high value-added products, especiallyMilitary aerospace and other industries have high added value and are difficult to manufactureand other products; Since 2023, with the announcement of Honor, the folding screen Magic V2The shaft cover part of the hinge is made of 3D printed titanium alloyMetal 3D printing has entered a new stage of large-scale industrial application.

Since its establishment, Micron 3D has taken the integration of software and technology as the core of equipment development, continuously iterated software and optimized the process, realized the localization of parts and improved printing efficiency, and applied equipmentDental, shoe molds, consumer electronicsand other fields.

It is understood that the M140C dental special machine equipment launched by the company in May 2023 can achieve a daily printing volume of fixed dentures1000 capsules, which has changed the denture processing method of the existing small and medium-sized denture factories. Since its launch on the market,Achieve the first new domestic market share in the dental 3D equipment industry

In addition, in view of the high cost of traditional shoe mold technology and slow design, Micron 3D launched M300 and M420 equipment in the second half of 2023 to subvert the technical feasibility and cost advantage of traditional processing, and for the first time in China, the comprehensive cost of 3D printed shoe molds (considering powder, equipment depreciation, etc.) is lower than the manufacturing cost of traditional shoe molds.

In fact, at present, Micron 3D's software and process are already inNearly 1,000 unitsThe device is running. Customize exclusive software and operation interfaces for scenarios with different application fields and operation requirements to achieve intelligent one-click operationIt is the only multi-threaded solution in China that integrates software algorithms, control and material technology

As a benchmark enterprise in the 3D printing industry, Micron 3D has won about 100 million yuan in the first round of financing in the past three years!

It is worth noting that there is another amount of financing to be madeAutomotive industry**。Xu Pengtian, head of Yueda Automobile Science and Technology Innovation, said: "As an investment-oriented platform for the automotive industry, Yueda Automobile Group has made full efforts in vehicle manufacturing, parts, R&D and services, and has been paying close attention to the potential of additive manufacturing in the large-scale manufacturing of core components in the automotive field. ”

The times create heroes, and core technologies boost industrial development. As 3D printing has entered a new stage of large-scale industrial application, Micron 3D has also ushered in new development opportunities, and this 3D printing marathon has kicked off. Material for this article**:
