Metal 3D printing technology is gradually becoming a core productivity tool in the industrial manufacturing field, LiM Laser, with a full matrix equipment system covering large, medium and small molding sizes, promotes the deep integration of metal 3D printing technology into aerospace, energy and power, automotive manufacturing and other industries, and realizes the technology landing in the field with high quality and high efficiency production paths. LiM-X400 is equipped with a 400mm x 450mm x 550mm dual laser solution and a 450mm x 450mm x 550mm quad laser solution. The LiM-X400 is equipped with 400mm×450mm×550mm dual-laser program and 450mm×450mm×550mm quad-laser program, which has continued to break through manufacturing bottlenecks for industry users since its launch, and released a new laser heating program at TCT ASIA 2025, which is equipped with a 9,000W high-power multi-mode laser to heat up the current layer of powder in real time, with the highest heating temperature up to 1,000℃, breaking through the traditional heat transfer bottleneck and ensuring that each layer of powder is at an advantageous melting temperature. This breaks through the bottleneck of traditional heat conduction and ensures that each layer of powder is in an advantageous molten state, which can significantly improve the densities of parts and redefine the upper limit of metal 3D printing quality.
Industrial Production
Restricted by the machining process, traditional heat sinks are mostly designed with simple geometric structures (e.g. linear fins, planar substrates) and require multiple components to be welded and assembled, resulting in increased thermal resistance and limited heat dissipation performance.
