Joint Advancement of "AI + Additive Manufacturing" Technology: Qinghang Feimai and Zhongke Yuchen Sign Strategic Agreement
On November 3, 2025, a delegation led by Academician Zhuang Zhuo of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts—formerly the Party Committee Secretary of the School of Aerospace Engineering at Tsinghua University and now Chairman of Qinghang Feimai (Shanghai) Technology Software Co., Ltd.—visited Nanjing Zhongke Yuchen Laser Technology Co., Ltd. The two parties signed a strategic cooperation agreement on "AI + Additive Manufacturing." They will fully leverage their respective technological and industrial advantages to engage in in-depth collaboration centered on "AI-Enabled Additive Manufacturing," jointly driving technological innovation and industrial upgrading in the fields of intelligent manufacturing and high-end equipment.
With "AI + Additive Manufacturing" as the core focus, the two sides will collaborate on technological breakthroughs and application demonstrations in areas such as AI-driven generative design, AI-based topology optimization, AI-assisted material composition design, and AI-powered full-process digital manufacturing. By deeply integrating artificial intelligence technologies with advanced manufacturing techniques, they aim to jointly build an intelligent additive manufacturing innovation ecosystem encompassing "intelligent design—simulation optimization—manufacturing execution—data closed-loop."
The cooperation will primarily target strategic industrial sectors including aerospace, energy, and civil livelihoods. It will explore innovative applications of AI technology in intelligent design, cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and enhancing product yield rates, with a focus on key technologies such as lightweight design and process parameter optimization.
The symbolic significance of this collaboration lies in its representation of a high-level handshake between "top academic expertise" and "industrial hard technology." Academician Zhuang Zhuo's team possesses profound academic accumulation and cutting-edge model algorithms in the field of AI scientific engineering simulation, while Zhongke Yuchen has a solid foundation in laser additive manufacturing equipment, processes, and industrialization. The integration of the two is expected to truly bridge the "last mile" from intelligent algorithms to industrial applications, injecting powerful intelligent momentum into the high-quality development of China's additive manufacturing industry.
