The 3rd China Aviation Intelligent Manufacturing and Equipment Exhibition (CAEE2025) recently concluded successfully at the Xi'an Airport Economic Zone Convention and Exhibition Center. LiM Laser, a leading company in the additive manufacturing industry, showcased its LiM-X1500H ultra-millimeter-level metal 3D printing equipment, along with its latest cutting-edge technologies and industry applications, demonstrating the company's technological advancement and quality reliability in the field of metal additive manufacturing.

LiM-X1500H, ultra-millimeter-level equipment for on-site printing
Metal additive manufacturing technology, with its advantages of integrated molding of complex structures, lightweight performance, and high degree of customization, is gradually changing the production methods of the aerospace manufacturing industry. Direct and rapid manufacturing not only accelerates the development process of parts but also significantly shortens the production cycle, meeting the aerospace field's demands for customized and mass production.


At CAEE 2025, LiM Laser showcased its LiM-X1500H ultra-small size (UMS) equipment, which was put into operation on-site. This demonstrated the company's comprehensive solutions for manufacturing large-size, complex structural components in the aerospace field, meeting the high demands of aerospace users for high-performance, high-efficiency, and low-cost manufacturing.
A Full-Size Matrix Covering Diverse Manufacturing Needs
The rapid development of the aerospace industry is driving the application of metal additive manufacturing technology in advanced equipment R&D and mass production. With increasing demand, LiM Laser, leveraging its innovative technology and practical experience, is continuously expanding its forming size limitations, building a matrix of UMS equipment to comprehensively cover the diverse needs of the aerospace field, from component development to mass production.

To date, LiM Laser's UMS equipment models include the LiM-X1500HF, LiM-X1500H, LiM-X1300H, and LiM-X1250H, offering a wider range of forming sizes and more laser solutions to better support integrated manufacturing and large-scale mass production, achieving the goals of cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and quality enhancement.

Among them, the LiM-X1500HF equipment is the first to incorporate a self-developed "flying printing" technology solution. This solution uses multiple galvanometer devices arranged as unit modules, moving and printing station by station along the same direction. During this process, adjacent galvanometer systems employ a multi-galvanometer splicing method for printing, expanding the printing range using a limited number of galvanometers. This solution also lays the technological foundation for the subsequent development of larger-format and multi-laser metal 3D printing equipment.

Accelerating Production Line Construction, Enhancing Efficiency Through End-to-End Collaboration
Focusing on engineering applications and mass production in the aerospace field, LiM Laser, leveraging its proven technological foundation and comprehensive, stable solutions, is actively promoting the construction of intelligent production lines, achieving a leap from single-unit equipment to multi-unit collaborative production.

This solution not only expands equipment size and production scale but also systematically improves process stability, cost control, and end-to-end collaboration. Relying on a series of intelligent software programs to build a complete digital production process, it greatly improves the continuity and timeliness of production.
The construction of intelligent production lines with sub-meter-level equipment has demonstrated strong development potential in fields such as aerospace. Facing the more challenging manufacturing needs of the future, LiM Laser will continue to advance, leveraging its technological advantages and innovation capabilities in additive manufacturing to continuously upgrade and iterate equipment performance, providing more efficient, precise, and reliable support for intelligent manufacturing in aerospace.
