It began making consumer FDM 3D printers in 2012 and shifted around 2023 to focus on research-grade 3D printers for university laboratories. At TCT Shenzhen, it brought direct ink writing (DIW) and binder jetting (BJ) machines to the show.
On October 14, 2026, Nanjixiong visited Sengo Technology's booth at TCT Shenzhen. Founded in 2012, the National High-Tech Enterprise initially made consumer FDM 3D printers. Through collaboration with university faculty, it later identified a key research need: research deals with the unknown—new materials, formulations and structures for which there are no ready-made answers. A standard machine with fixed functions is simply insufficient.

From selling machines to providing research platforms
Sengo's approach is to provide an experimental platform that can change and upgrade alongside a research project, rather than deliver a machine whose functions are all fixed. It has developed a technology platform covering four processes: direct ink writing (DIW), binder jetting (BJ/3DP), digital light processing (DLP) and fused deposition modeling (FDM). The product lines are organized around the AutoBio series (DIW) and ComproJet series (BJ), with customers mainly at universities, research institutes and corporate R&D centers in China and overseas.

The DIW machine displayed at the booth belongs to the AutoBio series. In addition to its basic configuration, it can be equipped with different functional modules: a UV curing head, high-temperature nozzle and low-temperature nozzle. The build platform can be heated or cooled to as low as −5°C to maintain the activity of biomaterials. It can print materials that can be extruded from a syringe, including biomaterials, gels, functional ceramics, bioceramics, electrode materials and pharmaceutical ingredients, for applications in medicine, biology and new energy.

BJ binder jetting printer: run an experiment with less than 100 ml of powder
The other machine was a desktop ComproJet-series BJ binder jetting printer. BJ works by spreading powder and then jetting binder ink to form the part. The powder itself provides support, so after printing, users can remove the powder and retrieve parts with complex internal channels without additional support material.
Several sintered samples were displayed: AI cooling components made from diamond/copper composite, as well as stainless steel parts with hardness comparable to conventional levels. Nanjixiong noticed that powders such as diamond and copper composite are expensive. This machine can run a rapid experiment with a minimum validation quantity of less than 100 ml of powder, saving considerable material costs during early formulation validation.

The BJ machine has a market price of a little over RMB 200,000, depending on configuration. Its desktop form factor fits in a corner of an ordinary laboratory and runs on standard electrical power.
Nanjixiong observation
Research-grade 3D printing is a narrow but stable market. University buyers do not prioritize speed or build size; they care about material compatibility and experimental flexibility. Modular functions, the ability to print new materials, low material consumption and a compact footprint make these machines a better fit than large industrial equipment. Sengo moved over from consumer FDM with a foundation in mechanical engineering and cost control, and found a gap in demand for customized research platforms at universities. The segment that large manufacturers overlook has become its room to operate.
