A developer and manufacturer of powder bed laser melting (PBLM®) metal 3D printing equipment, and a technology partner for companies moving metal additive manufacturing into production.
Company Profile
XDM is a domestic and international developer and manufacturer of powder bed laser melting (PBLM®, also known as selective laser melting or SLM) metal 3D printing equipment.
In October 2017 the company released the XDM 750 large-format PBLM machine with a build envelope of 750 × 750 × 500 mm - the largest PBLM system in the world at the time - which attracted close attention from Chinese and international media. XDM has since built a complete PBLM machine series with forming capability from 120 × 120 mm to 2000 × 2000 mm, widely used in aerospace, tooling, automotive, medical and other industries.
The company holds an advanced, complete technical service capability covering equipment, software, process, materials and production application, serves well-known customers in China and overseas, and is recognised as a leader in metal 3D printing technology.
Our Advantages
Technical depth, product breadth and a service model built around industrial production rather than laboratory demonstration.
Our team began developing large-format SLM metal equipment early in the international market and has accumulated distinctive technical advantages and experience in large machines and their applications. The product series now covers small, medium and large formats from 120 × 120 mm to 2000 × 2000 mm.
The core team combines PhD and master's level engineers who have long been engaged in SLM research, experienced engineering and production staff, and overseas high-level technical talent - an R&D capability that spans optics, gas dynamics, motion control, software and metallurgy.
Supported by domestic and international industry-academia research partners, XDM holds a full technical service capability covering equipment, software, process, materials and application development, together with dozens of invention patents.
XDM positions itself as a 3D printing integrated service provider, a benchmark for metal 3D printing technology and an innovator in additive manufacturing business models.
Vision
Our positioning follows from that ambition: an integrated 3D printing service provider, a weather vane for metal 3D printing technology, and an innovator in additive manufacturing business models.
Vision & Positioning
Metal additive manufacturing is moving from prototyping to production. That shift demands more than faster machines: it demands documented processes, qualified materials, reliable service and a partner who understands the part, not only the printer.
Business Scope
XDM focuses on market development, customer cultivation, application development and technical services for precision additive manufacturing represented by SLM, together with the development and sale of XDM series equipment and complete process technology.
Opening new application markets for precision additive manufacturing represented by SLM, and building customer capability in those markets.
Developing part designs, support strategies, parameter sets and post-processing routes for specific industrial components.
Feasibility studies, sample builds, process qualification and on-site engineering support for installed machines.
Development and sales of the XDM machine series, together with the complete process package that makes each machine productive.
Driving precision metal additive manufacturing - particularly large industrial equipment and complete process routes - into industrial production.
Certificates & Intellectual Property

Team & Culture
Our R&D, software and application teams work in the same building as the machines. Design changes are validated on real builds, and customer feedback reaches engineering directly rather than through layers of documentation.
Laser delivery, scanner calibration, gantry dynamics and recoater stability - the physical foundation of part quality on every XDM platform.
IntelliProc® and IntelliMake® are developed in-house, which is why parameters can be opened to customers and why process data remains accessible.
Parameter development, metallurgy, heat treatment and mechanical testing for steel, titanium, nickel, cobalt-chrome, copper and aluminium alloys.
We welcome technical visits to our Suzhou facility and can arrange online design reviews or on-site assessments for production programmes.
