What Eplus 3d does

Eplus3D (易加三维) is a Chinese industrial additive manufacturing company founded in 2014 in Beijing (with a Hangzhou entity established in 2015) that designs, manufactures, and sells metal and polymer 3D printing systems for industrial customers. Its core technology centers on MPBF (Metal Powder Bed Fusion) and PPBF (Polymer Powder Bed Fusion) platforms, with a product portfolio spanning compact systems (EP-M150, EP-M260, EP-M300) through to ultra-large format machines culminating in the EP-M3050, which supports up to 256 lasers across a 3,058mm build plate and is positioned as an industry-first 3-meter-class metal AM platform. The portfolio also includes complementary EPHatch process planning and EPlus 3D Control software, Materialise Magics and VoxelDance integrations, and a range of metal, polymer, and photopolymer resin materials.

The company operates five global branches (Beijing headquarters, Hangzhou R&D, Dongguan manufacturing, Xi'an regional office, and a wholly-owned German subsidiary in Ludwigsburg established in 2022) and serves a customer base of more than 3,000 across 40+ countries. Primary verticals are aerospace, automotive, and industrial tooling, with secondary segments in consumer electronics, healthcare/dental, and research and education; named customers include Siemens, Hankook Precision Works, PWR, Peak Sports, and Rosswag Engineering. The business is dual-revenue: industrial hardware sales (systems ranging from entry-level to multi-million-yuan production machines with custom quote-based pricing) and AM services/part production for customers that prefer not to own systems. GTM combines direct enterprise field sales, a German-led European direct presence, and a channel partner network formalized through the Global Partners Summit program.

Eplus3D is privately held and founder-controlled (冯涛/Feng Tao, who led development of China's first SLS equipment in 1993 and first SLM equipment in 2002), with disclosed funding rounds in 2023 (SDIC Unity Capital-led) and 2024 (adding the China National Military Equipment Fund). The company has accumulated 40+ practical patents, holds ISO 9001/14001/45001 and CE/FDA/FCC/EMC product certifications, and has received Chinese government designations including High-tech Enterprise, Zhongguancun High-tech Enterprise, Specialized and Distinctive Enterprise (专精特新), and National Key Research Project status, signaling alignment with national industrial priorities in advanced manufacturing.
