In the field of metal 3D printing, the technical parameters of the equipment, such as printing accuracy and forming speed, are important indicators for evaluating its advanced performance. However, on the other hand, the real and specific usage demands of users are also important engines that drive the continuous progress of LiM Laser technology and the continuous iteration of the equipment.

LiM Laser scientifically applies the QFD (Quality Function Deployment) system method, accurately converting user demands into the technical characteristics and functional design of the equipment, ensuring that the product closely matches the real usage scenarios of users from the initial stage of research and development.

QFD (Quality Function Deployment), which originated in the 1970s, is a systematic product design and quality assurance method oriented towards user needs. We use its core analytical tool - "Quality House" (House of Quality) - to complete the systematic conversion from customer language to technical parameters:

Customer demands (left wall): Collect user demands, such as printing density, equipment stability, ease of operation, etc.;

Technical characteristics (ceiling): Transform the vague user demands into technical parameter features;

Relationship matrix (room): Analyze the degree of correlation between each demand and technical parameters;

Target values (floor): Set achievable target values for each technical parameter based on the correlation analysis;

Competitive assessment (right wall): Compare the performance of market mainstream products in meeting customer demands.

Through this process, it ensures that the R&D team targets the real customer demands in the equipment design stage, avoiding development deviations from actual usage requirements.

During the equipment development process of LiM Laser, through interviews, research, after-sales feedback and other channels, the company collected the user demands from different fields and transformed them into technical issues such as uniformity control of the heat field, precision of multi-laser assembly, and optimization of gas flow field; key component reliability design and predictive maintenance development; functional designs such as modular powder boxes and automated powder cleaning processes.

The team conducted quality house analysis and regarded the key influencing factors as the key directions for resource investment, strengthening technological research and overall optimization, to provide users with metal 3D printing solutions that are more suitable for industry needs, and to precisely respond to market demands.

For example, equipment like LiM-X1500H, which is adapted for large-scale production in high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace and energy power, and the LiM-X400M series solutions that meet the full chain requirements of users from prototype development to batch production; non-standard equipment that meets the application scenarios and process requirements of users, etc. The successful development of each device is inseparable from the in-depth research and demand transformation in the early stage, as well as the collaboration of various departments.

At LiM Laser, quality is not the final inspection checkpoint, but is integrated into the entire process of design and production. We understand that each device not only needs to have advanced technical indicators, but also needs to truly respond to user demands. Metal additive manufacturing is an important engine for the optimization and upgrading of traditional industries and the cultivation and growth of emerging industries. We will continuously accelerate technological innovation and development, strengthen quality management and optimization, and make greater contributions to promoting the high-end, intelligent and green development of the manufacturing industry.
