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.
