The Guangdong facility is expected to drive HBD’s growth in key sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and healthcare, offering both enhanced production capacity and expanded design capabilities. With an emphasis on digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and sustainable manufacturing practices, HBD expects the facility to allow it to provide customers with customised solutions that improve production efficiency, reduce lead times, and lower costs while developing a more open and dynamic ecosystem that encourages cross-industry adoption of Additive Manufacturing.
During the opening ceremony, HBD CEO Liu Jianye emphasised that the new facility represents HBD’s vision of long-term innovation and commitment to smart manufacturing. He also noted that this new site will not only meet the increasing demands for high-quality metal AM but also offer advanced services such as factory planning, process optimisation, and operational support tailored to customers.
The new facility’s strategic significance is expected to extend beyond HBD’s internal growth. For customers, the factory will provide access to AM technologies and expert support that will help it optimise its own operations. With multi-model batch production capabilities and enhanced research and development support, customers are anticipated to receive higher-performance and more reliable parts for critical applications.
HBD states that its focus on sustainability at the new site aligns with global trends towards greener manufacturing practices. The facility incorporates low-carbon technologies and is built to meet the rising demand for environmentally friendly, efficient production processes.
