标题: Kings 3D Interview: Over 10,000 Resin Systems Shipped, from Aircraft Tooling to Unmanned Boats
Nanjixiong introduction
TCT Shenzhen 2026 opened with hundreds of companies across the printing supply chain. Nanjixiong is covering the event as a strategic media partner.

On October 14, Nanjixiong interviewed Kings 3D marketing head Zhou Meng. The company brought its main resin, pellet, metal and polymer filament printing products.

Resin printer shipments exceed 10,000

A 600-series resin machine occupies a prominent position at the entrance. This was the company's original product category. Zhou described its 600 × 600 × 400 mm format as a classic, widely used in prototyping.

Cumulative shipments across its resin range exceed 10,000. Several major customers added 100–150 machines at the start of 2026. Painted escalator models, creative ornaments and medical parts displayed nearby were actual customer products.

Pellets and filament: aircraft wing tooling to unmanned boats

Three polymer machines were presented, the product line with the most launches in the second half.

FGF-800Pro upgrades the previous 800 model with an industrial CNC controller and higher-flow extrusion for better throughput and stability. A scaled aircraft wing mold used material resistant to 200°C. Zhou said several aviation companies had purchased customized three-meter pellet systems for aerospace tooling.

FDM-M1000Pro offers a one-meter-cubic build volume, also with upgraded control and flow. All three polymer systems support resuming after filament runs out. Zhou noted that a large job could require days or even 20–30 days of continuous operation, demanding reliability. Applications include new-energy vehicles and industrial production.

The FDM-M500 has a 500 mm-cubic build volume, positioned between desktop and industrial systems at a lower price for customers needing less capacity.

Two physical examples were an integrated, hollow drone frame in the 800-size class, weighing slightly more than one jin, approximately 0.5 kg, and printed in about 40 hours; and a pellet-printed yacht console installed on a boat after finishing.

Zhuhai is an important southern production base amid a concentration of shipbuilders. Several customers have printed and trial-produced two- to ten-meter unmanned boats using Kings pellet systems. Overseas examples already include integrated printed yachts more than ten meters long. Kings is developing a five-axis robotic-arm pellet system with the aim of printing an entire boat.

Outdoor sculptures and structures up to 30 meters

A striking two-meter WarGreymon sculpture was another customer case, combining filament printing and finishing in approximately ten days. Zhou said the company has completed more than 200 large sculpture projects, spanning two-meter creative figures to 20–30-meter forms, mall displays, parks, municipal projects and sporting-event characters.

A new desktop metal printer

The new desktop system has a stated build size of 120 × 100 mm and supports stainless steel, copper, titanium and orthopedic alloys. Market pricing is in the hundred-thousand-plus-yuan range. It targets dentistry, education and research, where small volumes save expensive powder.

The established 280 model, with a 250 × 250 × 300 mm build volume, is its highest-volume and most mature metal system. The portfolio spans stated sizes from 50 × 100 mm to 1.2 and 1.5 meters, with two-meter customization available. Supported materials include stainless steel, aluminum, copper, titanium and refractory metals such as tungsten.

Factories in Xianyang, Tianjin, Chongqing, Huizhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Changsha, Jiujiang, Zhejiang and Jiangsu cover six major Chinese regions. Zhou observed that metal machines, once absent from many prototyping businesses, have become standard as metal prototype demand grows.

Polymer filament is a new focus

Kings began expanding into filament and pellets this year for both business and consumer customers.

Filaments include silk PLA, high-speed grades, flexible TPU, transparent PETG including amber, ABS, wood PLA and matte single-color PLA. Growing printer installations are increasing material demand, prompting the expansion.

Pellet exhibits included carbon-fiber PPS, resistant to temperatures above 200°C for autoclave tooling and large drones; flame-retardant ABS; flame-retardant glass-fiber PETG; and glass-fiber ABS. Glass-fiber PETG is used for thermoforming molds and inspection/test components, which can be CNC-finished after printing. Specialty materials remain under development.
