Envisioning the Year 20025
In 2025，TPM3D will focus on the innovation and application expansion of SLS3D printing technology, deepen the research and development of equipment and materials, expand production capacity and ensure supply to meet the diverse needs of the market.
1. Equipment R&D and Market Expansion
With the advancement of powder bed 3D printing technology, products from new entrants such as HP and Formlabs have gained popularity in the market, reflecting an increased acceptance of SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) powder bed fusion technology among users.TPM3D will continue to deepen its efforts in SLS 3D printing technology. In terms of depth, the company will develop large-scale equipment with four lasers to handle larger parts and improve production efficiency, meeting the demands of large-scale industrial applications. Simultaneously, the company will penetrate the consumer-grade market, planning to launch Desk-top SLS 3D printing devices suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises by 2025. These devices will offer better cost-performance ratios and user-friendliness, further expanding market coverage.
2. Innovative Materials, Expanded Applications
TPM3D will focus on development high-performance materials and innovative processes to meet diverse needs from the market.
For the rapidly growing drone market, the company will introduce carbon fiber-reinforced nylon material to support lightweight design and enhance drone performance. This material combines high strength with low weight, ideal for applications requiring lightweight solutions. Additionally, TPM3D will develop a high-toughness nylon material for rehabilitation support products, improving durability and comfort. It will be suitable for hand orthoses, ankle braces, scoliosis orthoses, and spinal surgical braces.

With technological advancements, an increasing number of users aim to directly produce end-use products using SLS 3D printing technology. TPM3D will integrate additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques, develop new materials and processes, and reduce the cost of final products. This initiative has the potential to revolutionize the additive manufacturing market, with plans for mass production by 2025.
3. Global Expansion and Capacity Upgrade
Powder bed 3D printing technology demonstrates higher maturity and application potential in overseas markets. To align with global standards and promote the globalization of TPM3D's products and services, we will continue to enhance our overseas market presence, strengthen brand promotion, and expand market outreach, thereby increasing TPM3D's global recognition and influence.
TPM3D's New Factory in Anhui Province
“I am optimistic about the development prospects of the powder bed technology market. From the trends at Germany's Formnext and the Rapid+TCT exhibitions indicate that the global expansion of Chinese enterprises is both a choice and an inevitable trend of the times. TPM3D will seize this opportunity to accelerate its strategic deployment and business expansion in overseas markets.
Chinese companies possess unique advantages, such as robust R&D capabilities, a well-established supply chain, and extensive manufacturing expertise. However, given the current global political and economic environment, we will adopt a prudent strategy, strengthen weak areas, enhance the support system and service network for overseas partners, and elevate brand recognition and reputation to ensure sustainable development in the global market.”
