At TCT Asia 2025, BLT showed what’s possible to produce here and now with real-world machines and systems, real parts and real results. For manufacturers looking to scale, speed up or cut costs, here’s what stood out at the show.
BLT-S1025: more height, more lasers, more output
The newly launched BLT-S1025 raised the bar for industrial-scale production. Built on the success of the BLT-S1000, this next-gen system offers a towering 2500 millimeter build height and up to 32 lasers. This makes it ideal for oversized components and high-throughput workflows.
An aircraft part printed on the BLT-S1025 drew heavy attention at the show, showcasing both scale and precision in one single build.
Compact but powerful: the upgraded BLT-S400
BLT also unveiled the upgraded BLT-S400, designed for space-conscious production environments. With a compact 3.36 square meter footprint and smart powder circulation, the system offers higher throughput without compromising quality. Its improved Z-axis stability, enhanced powder spreading system and long-life filter make it ideal for serial production. Over one million 3C blanks have already been manufactured with the new BLT-S400.
Smarter processes, faster cycles
BLT’s new smart powder-spreading system adapts in real-time using intelligent algorithms. It boosts spreading speeds up to 300 millimeters per second while maintaining consistency. This is especially the case across large build platforms. In a nutshell – more output, same precision.
BRIGHTENLINES: end-to-end AM production
Automation took center stage at the show with BRIGHTENLINES. This is BLT’s new modular production line for additive manufacturing. From powder handling to substrate disassembly, the system offers a fully integrated solution to scale AM production without the usual manual bottlenecks.
Materials that perform under pressure
With two recently launched high-performance alloys, BLT showed what’s possible when material and machine are developed together.
BLT-K438/In738 is a nickel-based superalloy for aerospace and energy sectors. It offers corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength and structural stability. A turbine blade printed with this material was on display.
BLT-AlAM300C is a thermal-conductive aluminum alloy used to produce lightweight liquid cooling plates. These parts, printed on the BLT-A320, are already being explored for electric vehicles and electronics thanks to their efficient heat transfer and low pressure drop.
