Introduction
TPM3D, founded in 1999, is one of China’s early pioneers in 3D printing, specializing in Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) additive manufacturing. Headquartered in Shanghai, it operates centres across China, including an R&D hub in Zhongshan, a manufacturing base in Hefei, and a medical 3D printing centre established with Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Zhongshan Chenxinghai Hospital.
In 2007, TPM3D became the first in Asia to launch a self-developed SLS system. From 2014 to 2018, it partnered with Stratasys in a joint venture, leading to enhanced technology and CE certification from German Rhein TüV. In 2019, TPM3D regained full independence and rebranded.
Today, TPM3D is a leading provider of industrial-grade SLS systems (S, P, C Series), over ten polymer powder materials, and professional 3D printing services. With 60+ national patents, it serves sectors including medical, automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, and education.
