Overview
HBD is a globally oriented Chinese company specializing in metal additive manufacturing (AM), with a strong focus on Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology. Operating globally since 2007, the company has grown into a recognized supplier of industrial metal 3D printing systems, with production based in Zhongshan, Guangdong, and operations in Shanghai. Its international footprint includes an Asia-Pacific regional office in Vietnam and a European R&D and service center in Munich, Germany, operating as HBD Additive Europe GmbH. HBD's product portfolio spans compact platforms for dental and medical applications — such as the HBD 150D, 150D FLEX, and 200D — through mid- to large-format industrial systems like the HBD 400 and 500, up to large-format platforms including the HBD 600, 800, and 1600 designed for aerospace-scale production. The HBD 600 features an advanced 8-laser configuration, while the HBD 800 uses ten synchronized lasers with proprietary scanning optics delivering 30 µm alignment accuracy. The HBD 1600 offers a meter-scale build envelope with multi-laser collaborative manufacturing and a full-process intelligent closed-loop system. As of 2026, HBD reports over 1,100 installed systems across more than 40 countries and regions, and states that since 2019 it has consistently shipped more than 100 units annually. The company is certified to ISO 9001, SGS-CE, AS9100D, and ATEX standards, and serves industries including aerospace, thermal management, automotive, consumer electronics, the low-altitude economy, robotics, heavy industry, and medical applications. HBD positions itself as providing advanced metal 3D printing equipment and end-to-end solutions supported by deep process know-how and application expertise.
History
HBD has been operating globally since 2007, establishing itself as a specialist in metal additive manufacturing with a focus on Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology. The company built its production presence in Zhongshan, Guangdong, and maintains operations in Shanghai, reflecting its roots in China's manufacturing heartland. Over the years, HBD expanded its international footprint. It established an Asia-Pacific regional office in Vietnam and a European R&D and service center in Munich, Germany, operating as HBD Additive Europe GmbH. This global network was designed to deliver responsive, high-quality support to customers worldwide. A significant operational milestone came in 2019, from which point HBD has consistently shipped more than 100 units annually. By 2026, the company reported over 1,100 installed systems across more than 40 countries and regions, supported by over 1,100 global partners and clients. HBD's product line evolved from compact platforms for dental and medical applications to mid- to large-format industrial systems and ultimately to large-format platforms for aerospace-scale production. The company achieved certifications including ISO 9001, SGS-CE, AS9100D, and ATEX, underscoring its commitment to quality and safety standards. Its systems now serve industries such as aerospace, thermal management, automotive, consumer electronics, the low-altitude economy, robotics, heavy industry, and medical applications.
