TCT Asia：Aerospace Manufacturing Showcases China's Strength

March 17, 2025, 5:30 PM

The 2025 Asia 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing Expo (TCT Asia) showcased China's capabilities in aerospace intelligent manufacturing. The core highlight of the exhibition was the Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD) technology jointly developed by Aerospace Engineering Equipment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. and the Institute for the Development and Quality, Macau. This technology has achieved significant breakthroughs in the manufacturing of high-performance metal components and has demonstrated broad application prospects in aerospace and marine sectors. Through concrete examples, data, and technical details, the exhibition demonstrated China's leading position in AFSD manufacturing and its profound impact on the relevant industrial chain and the transformation of the manufacturing sector.

The 2025 Asia 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing Expo (TCT Asia) officially commenced on March 17. At the exhibition, an Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD) workstation “printed” components on-site using AFSD technology, becoming the star attraction of the show. This equipment represents a newly upgraded solution jointly developed by Aerospace Engineering Equipment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (17.680, 0.01, 0.06%) (hereinafter referred to as “AEE”) and the Institute for the Development and Quality, Macau, specifically tailored to meet market demands.

At the exhibition site, the 3.35-meter-long rocket fuel tank bottom drew crowds of visitors and industry peers to stop and observe. This tank bottom was precisely printed using AFSD technology, leaving everyone in awe of its technical prowess. It is understood that AFSD technology will shine brightly in the aerospace sector, enabling the production of large structural components such as satellite adapters and rocket tank bottoms. This technology fulfills the need for weight reduction and efficiency gains in large structural parts, lowers production costs and cycles, and significantly enhances product quality and reliability. In the maritime sector, AFSD technology also demonstrates immense application potential. Key structural components like large ship hulls and propellers manufactured using this method exhibit excellent efficiency and durability, enhancing navigation performance.

The successful breakthrough of this technology will drive the refinement and upgrading of related industrial chains. As the technology gains wider adoption, an increasing number of enterprises are turning their attention to and investing in the AFSD manufacturing sector, propelling China's manufacturing industry toward digital, intelligent, and green transformation.
