Huirui-laser Unveils the Revolutionary Metal 3D Printing Solution

August 25, 2025

Overcoming Traditional 3D Printing Challenges

In the field of metal 3D printing, traditional equipment has often struggled to meet the needs of research users due to its large size, complex operation, insufficient reliability, and limited powder mixing capabilities. To address the demand for compact, high-precision, multi-component small-batch solutions from universities, research institutions, and powder manufacturers, Huirui-laser has developed the Metal+One® series – a metal direct energy deposition (DED) 3D printing system designed specifically for research and development.
