Polymer 3D printers debuting at TCT Asia 2025

Over the last decade, TCT Asia has grown into one of the biggest additive manufacturing events in the world. Having transitioned from RepRap-style 3D printers to industrial-scale metal machines producing parts for well-known technology companies, China has cemented itself as one to watch and at this year’s TCT Asia, visitors will be able to get a first look at the latest developments coming from this increasingly competitive AM marketplace.

SinteringTechnology (Dalian) Co., Ltd. – Booth #8J35

SinteringTechnology will debut two machines at TCT Asia. The smaller of the two, the F200, is described as an industrial-grade 3D printing technology with high cost effectiveness, claiming reduced costs at around half of those of established brands. These efficiencies expand to the ease of use and size of the machine, which the company says can fit through the elevators in most office buildings to suit small and medium sized customers. It features a build area of 200 mm × 200mm × 300mm and can process polymers such as PA12, PA11, PA6, PP, TPU, and related composite materials.

The company will also introduce the F450, a large-scale SLS system with a maximum build area of 450mm x 450mm x 400/600 mm.

Shenzhen Elegoo Technology Co., Ltd – Booth #8E30

After dominating the entry-level machine sector at the back end of 2024 as one of the top four vendors in its price category, Elegoo will be bringing its latest machine, the Centauri Carbon to the show floor. Now considered its flagship FDM 3D printer, the Centauri Carbon features a fully enclosed chamber and dual-sided build plate complete with a PLA-specific side, heating to just 30° C, making it compatible with a wide range of high-temperature materials. Built for stability, the machine is said to deliver print speeds of up to 500 mm/s and acceleration of 20,000 mm/s² thanks to a powerful CoreXY motion structure. The company says the Centauri Carbon is designed ‘for high-speed, high-quality printing with unparalleled user-friendliness for all skill levels.’

3D Mellow – Booth #8J70

3D Mellow says its EvoBambu Series is aimed at DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade their Bambu 3D printers. The company, which specialises in the design and sale of 3D printer accessories, will present a complete upgrade kit which includes extruder and hot end components, four AMS feeder blocks, and a specialised nozzle cap for filament change wiping. 3D Mellow says the kit offers a plug and play experience with ‘direct, hassle-free swaps with no modifications required’.
