On Nov 21, the highly anticipated 15th National Games concluded in Shenzhen, Guangdong province. Taizhou Sirui Additive Manufacturing Technology, located in the Xinghua Economic Development Zone in Jiangsu province, leveraged its rich expertise in 3D printing to provide multiple stage props for the event.
During the opening ceremony's warm-up performance, the company seamlessly fused Lingnan cultural heritage with modern technology, creating a breathtaking audio-visual spectacle. Sirui played a pivotal role in designing and crafting props, notably long spears that became a technological highlight in the cultural-sports dialogue.
For a Cantonese Opera performance that showcased female warriors' prowess through spear choreography, the company designed and produced spears with high-precision 3D-printed resin heads and tails adorned with Lingnan lion dance motifs and finished with dual-tone gold and silver electroplating.

Founded by a team from the Shenzhen aeronautical engine 3D printing powder engineering lab at Southern University of Science and Technology, Sirui has introduced China's first-ever "cold shaping" technology, enabling cost-effective regeneration of spherical powders without significant oxygen increase.
Since its launch in October, the company has launched various specialty metal and alloy powders, widely applied across 3C electronics, consumer decorations, healthcare, new energy, automotive, marine engineering, and aerospace sectors, securing supply chain partnerships with numerous Fortune 500 companies in China.
