On the morning of October 25, 2025, Professor Chen Zhiping, vice president of the Hydrogen Energy Research Institute of Zhejiang University, Director of the Pressure Equipment Research Laboratory of the Institute of Chemical Machinery and Director of the Pressure Vessel Design Research Laboratory, and his party visited the company to have in-depth exchanges with Chen Renxian, Chairman of Zhejiang Chengxin Medical and Chemical Equipment Co., Ltd., and Chen Minsheng, Chairman of Zhejiang Shengtai Defense Technology Co., Ltd. On the innovative application of 3D printing technology in the field of pressure vessel manufacturing.
At the meeting, Professor Chen Zhiping combined with Zhejiang University's research results in the field of hydrogen energy equipment and advanced manufacturing, focusing on the breakthroughs of 3D printing technology in the integrated molding of complex structural pressure vessels, material lightweight and performance optimization.He pointed out that 3D printing technology can significantly shorten the research and development cycle of pressure vessels and improve product safety and reliability, especially for the manufacture of pressure vessel components with complex structures and easy welding deformation.
Chairman Chen Renxian welcomed the arrival of Professor Chen Zhiping and introduced the company's technology accumulation and industrial layout in the field of pressure vessel manufacturing.Chairman Chen Minsheng introduced the specific application and industrialization prospects of 3D printing technology. There was a heated discussion on topics such as technology research and development, industry-university-research cooperation, and achievement transformation. The three parties agreed that 3D printing technology will become the key driving force to promote the transformation and upgrading of the pressure vessel industry, and initially reached a cooperation intention to jointly carry out technical research and train professional talents.After the meeting, Professor Chen Zhiping and his party visited Shengtai Defense's 3D printing workshop and main products.
This exchange has injected new momentum into the company's technological innovation in the field of high-end pressure vessel manufacturing. In the future, the two sides will further deepen cooperation and jointly explore the industrialization path of 3D printing technology in the field of complex structure pressure vessels to help the high-quality development of the industry.
