Eplus3D

Eplus3D, established in 2014 by founder Feng Tao, is a manufacturer of industrial-grade 3D printing systems. The company's origins are deeply rooted in its founder's extensive experience; Feng Tao was instrumental in developing China's first Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) equipment in 1993 and later, in 2002, collaborated with South China University of Technology to create the nation's first Selective Laser Melting (SLM) equipment. This multi-decade accumulation of technical expertise forms the foundation of the company.

The core of Eplus3D's business is the development, production, and sale of industrial 3D printers based on Metal Powder Bed Fusion (MPBF™) and Polymer Powder Bed Fusion (PPBF™) technologies. Its business model involves selling these high-value machines directly to clients and providing comprehensive solutions that include proprietary software, a range of printing materials (metal powders, polymers, and photosensitive resins), and technical consulting. The software suite is designed for ease of use, covering data preparation, print control, and quality assurance monitoring to enhance production efficiency. Eplus3D serves a global clientele across more than 40 countries, with facilities in Hangzhou, Beijing, Stuttgart (Germany), and Houston (USA) to support its international operations.

The company's product line caters to a diverse set of industrial sectors, including aerospace, automotive, energy, oil & gas, tooling, healthcare, and consumer electronics. For the aerospace industry, Eplus3D's technology enables the creation of lightweight, complex components, with clients like INNOSPACE using their machines for rocket part production. In healthcare, the printers are used to manufacture patient-specific medical devices and implants, with customers like BIOPROTECE S.A. in Argentina reporting a 35% market share increase after integrating Eplus3D's technology. A notable achievement is the delivery of over 100 large-format, "super-meter" metal 3D printers, which underscores the market demand for producing large, industrial-scale components. These machines, such as the EP-M2050 with up to 64 lasers, are particularly suited for high-speed, large-volume production.
