Against the backdrop of high-end manufacturing and emerging industry demand, AVIMETAL showcased a series of equipment-material integrated innovation achievements at the exhibition. These exhibits highlight the large-scale application potential of metal additive manufacturing in consumer electronics, automotive moulds, embodied intelligence, robotics, aerospace, commercial aerospace and sports equipment.

On the sidelines of TCT ASIA 2026, Mr. Qianlong Zuo, Executive Deputy General Manager of the Equipment Business Unit of AVIMETAL, was invited to deliver a keynote speech at the TCT INTRODUCING 2026 New Product Launch. He systematically elaborated on the innovative integration strategy for metal 3D printing equipment and materials of AVIMETAL. Supported by a host of industrial application cases, the presentation showcased the practical achievements of AVIMETAL in the large-scale application of metal 3D printing, while offering new perspectives and paradigms for the further development of the industry.

During the exhibition, AVIMETAL held its Additive Manufacturing Innovation and Development Forum at the booth over two days. Centered on the company’s progress in metal 3D printing equipment upgrading, material innovation, process optimization and industrial application, the forum staged 12 engaging keynote sessions, with lively and in-depth exchanges taking place throughout the event.

AVIMETAL engaged with customers from the aerospace, consumer electronics and automotive industries at the exhibition, discussing equipment, materials and processes while reaching preliminary cooperation intentions. We will continue to innovate core technologies and promote the industrial application of metal additive manufacturing with global partners. Many thanks for all the support as AVIMETAL wraps up a successful TCT ASIA 2026.
