Baochenxin: Compact Air-Cooled 300 W Laser Source for Metal AM

1 min read

The Chinese laser source could help integrate smaller LPBF systems, but it is not a complete metal printer.

Compact design

The reported enclosure measures 215 × 297 × 110 mm; air cooling may reduce the need for separate cooling infrastructure.

Technical claims

The manufacturer specifies 300 W output and good beam quality. Whole-machine performance also depends on optics, powder bed, controls and process parameters.

What comes next

OEM integration, long-duration operation and maintainability will determine its industrial value.

Commodore 64 Ultimate Returns: A Retro Legend, Not a 3D-Printed One

Commodore.net has officially relaunched its legendary home computer as the Commodore 64 Ultimate, rebuilding the classic machine on modern FPGA hardware. We cover it here as a curiosity: it has no direct 3D printing angle, since the case is produced with classic injection molding using the original 1986 tooling, not 3D printing.

Bambu Lab: construction advances on a planned 3-million-printer Shenzhen hub

Bambu Lab is taking a major step toward building one of the world's largest 3D printer manufacturing bases. Its planned “3D Printing Intelligent Manufacturing Headquarters Base” in Shenzhen's Guangming District has moved into site-preparation and construction-access work. The complex is designed for an annual capacity of more than 3 million 3D printers and will combine manufacturing with research and development, component production and materials-related activities.
