Introduction
Metal 3D printing powder manufacturer VILORY has secured another RMB 100 million, bringing cumulative financing to nearly RMB 800 million.
On October 11, 2026, Nanjixiong learned from VILORY that it had completed a Series C+ equity round. Jiangsu Guotou and Suneng jointly provided RMB 100 million in targeted investment, mainly for the phase-four Jiangsu VILORY New Materials Industrial Park and development of new materials and equipment. Preparations for a Series D round are beginning, with a target of RMB 300–500 million to strengthen its ten-thousand-tonne-scale capacity base and accelerate IPO preparations.
A national key specialized and innovative Little Giant and a recognized enterprise in the technology reform demonstration program, VILORY has completed multiple financing rounds totaling nearly RMB 800 million. Its approximately RMB 310 million Series C in December 2025 was described as that year's largest single domestic financing round in metal printing materials, at a post-money valuation of RMB 2.11 billion. The 2026 Series C+ expands its investor base and supports capacity growth.
Its phase-three unmanned factory is already operating. More than ten EIGA lines use centralized DCS control and a next-generation MES for automated management and detailed traceability. The CNAS testing center has expanded to meet demanding consumer electronics and semiconductor requirements. Additional lines include clustered zero-carbon titanium recycling, precision MIM feedstock preparation and RDA centrifugal atomization, forming a coordinated process portfolio. Titanium recycling is advancing industrial reuse and broadening supply for complex components and specialty fine powders. Delivery of titanium alloys, superalloys and specialty aluminum alloys continues to grow for aerospace, commercial space, new energy, consumer electronics, AI thermal management, embodied robotics and medical implants.
Phase four is accelerating under lights-out factory standards. Planned additional annual capacities include 3,000 tonnes of titanium, 5,000 tonnes of copper, 2,000 tonnes of aluminum and further high-strength steel powders. The project will increase delivery of advanced powders at scale, with emphasis on aluminum and copper, introduce AI into materials research and production, and expand domestic and international service networks to meet growing advanced application demand.
The Series D proceeds will support three priorities:
1. Expand intelligent advanced alloy powder lines, address specialty alloy capacity gaps and strengthen the ten-thousand-tonne industrial cluster.
2. Increase frontier materials R&D for next-generation AI thermal management, consumer electronics, semiconductors and aerospace, addressing critical domestic materials needs.
3. Expand domestic and overseas channels while preparing IPO funding and governance.
Following Series C and C+, the planned Series D reflects capital market recognition of domestic advanced metal powder production and VILORY's technology and products. The company intends to pursue both innovation and capacity expansion, strengthen domestic materials supply-chain capabilities and build a leading Chinese metal materials company with international competitiveness.
