On October 25th, the third China Aviation Digital Intelligence Capability Building and Process Equipment Expo (CAEE2025) came to a successful conclusion at the Xi 'an Airport Economic Zone Convention and Exhibition Center. TSC & LiM Laser, as advanced enterprises in the additive manufacturing industry, showcased the LiM-X1500H ultra-meter-level metal 3D printing equipment and the latest cutting-edge technological achievements and industry applications, comprehensively demonstrating the company's technological advancement and quality reliability in the field of metal additive manufacturing.
Metal additive manufacturing technology, with its advantages such as one-piece forming of complex structures, lightweight performance, and high degree of customization, is gradually changing the production mode of the aerospace manufacturing industry. Direct and rapid manufacturing not only accelerates the development process of components but also significantly shortens the production cycle, meeting the demands of the aerospace field for customized and batch production.
TSC showcased the LiM-X1500H ultra-meter-level equipment at the CAEE 2025 exhibition site and started it up on the spot, comprehensively demonstrating the company's comprehensive solutions for the production and manufacturing of large-sized and complex-structured components in the aerospace field, meeting the high requirements of users in the aerospace field for high-performance, high-efficiency and low-cost manufacturing.
The rapid development of the aerospace industry is also driving the application of metal additive manufacturing technology in the research and development of advanced equipment and mass production. With the increase in demand, TSC, relying on its innovative technology and practical experience, continuously expands the size limits of forming, builds a super-meter-level equipment matrix, and comprehensively covers the different needs of the aerospace field from component development to batch production.
Up to now, the ultra-meter-level equipment models launched by TSC include LiM-X1500HF, LiM-X1500H, LiM-X1300H, LiM-X1250H, etc. With more comprehensive forming dimensions and more laser solutions, they better assist in integrated manufacturing and large-scale batch production, achieving the goals of cost reduction, efficiency improvement and quality enhancement.
Among them, the LiM-X1500HF equipment is equipped with the self-developed "flight printing" technology solution for the first time. By combining multiple galvanometer devices into unit modules and moving them one by one in the same direction to print. During this period, the adjacent galvanometer system adopted a multi-galvanometer splicing method for printing, using a limited number of galvanometers to expand the printing range. This solution also lays a technical foundation for the subsequent further development of metal 3D printing equipment with larger formats and more laser numbers.
Focusing on the engineering application and batch production in the aerospace field, TSC, with its long-proven technical accumulation and comprehensive and stable solutions, actively promotes the construction of intelligent production lines, achieving a leap from single equipment to the collaborative production of multiple devices.
This plan not only aims to expand the size of equipment and production scale, but also to achieve a systematic improvement in process stability, cost control and the level of full-process collaboration. Relying on a series of intelligent software to build a complete digital production process, it greatly enhances the continuity and timeliness of production.
The construction of ultra-meter-level equipment intelligent production lines has demonstrated strong development potential in fields such as aerospace. Facing more challenging manufacturing demands in the future, TSC and its subsidiary, LiM Laser, will continue to advance, leverage their technological advantages and innovation capabilities in additive manufacturing, and constantly upgrade and iterate equipment performance to provide more efficient, precise and reliable support for aerospace intelligent manufacturing.
