Qingliang Zhizao
A manufacturer of 3D printing equipment focused on small businesses and manufacturing scenarios, offering four-nozzle printers with industrial-grade precision and positioned as a replacement for conventional manufacturing.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Lightweight Intelligent Manufacturing was founded in April 2025, will not do ToC for now at this stage, and focuses on the small-B market.
Lightweight Intelligent Manufacturing's core product is a four-nozzle 3D printer that uses industrial-grade linear motors and achieves a beam thrust of 110N.
Wang Zhiyu claims that Lightweight Intelligent Manufacturing's four-nozzle printer prints 4 times faster than Bambu Lab, changes color 5 times faster than the Kuaizao U1, is one to two orders of magnitude more stable, and is 100 times more precise.
Compared with single-head machines, Lightweight Intelligent Manufacturing's four-nozzle printer can save 75% of space and time, and halve both material and labor costs.
Lightweight Intelligent Manufacturing has developed its own desktop-grade filament production device, priced at over 1,000 US dollars, that can produce 30 kilograms of filament per day.
Lightweight Intelligent Manufacturing outsources manufacturing to Sunwoda, which dedicated an entire building to it, reaching a daily capacity of 400 units.
As of July 2025, Lightweight Intelligent Manufacturing has shipped 50 devices and has 200 units ramping up on the production line, with a new round of shipments to start in November.
Lightweight Intelligent Manufacturing's Kickstarter crowdfunding amount exceeds 3 million US dollars, ranking tenth in 3D printing crowdfunding history (excluding UV and resin projects), plus 3 million US dollars in offline orders.
Lightweight Intelligent Manufacturing's roadmap starts with four printheads, moves to 16 printheads in the next generation, then 64 printheads in the following generation, ultimately targeting 256 printheads, while the machine's size remains unchanged.
Wang Zhiyu stated that in the short term the company will not develop its own 3D generation foundation model, but will instead choose external cooperation, leaning toward the AI-assisted designer path.
