Supporting Education, Giving Back to Society | Xi'an Intelligent Remanufacturing Research Institute Supports Talent Cultivation in Additive Manufacturing at Chengdu University of Technology

October 27, 2025
In the face of the global technological competition landscape, the strength of the manufacturing industry, as its foundation and carrier, directly determines a nation's practical capability for technological iteration and industrial dominance. Additive manufacturing, a key technology for the digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing, is gradually and profoundly reshaping traditional production models. In September 2025, the "Construction Plan for a High-Quality Standard System for Industrial Machine Tools" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology explicitly proposed the goal of achieving "world-leading standards in certain areas of additive manufacturing" by 2030.
The promulgation of this policy also charts a direction for talent cultivation in higher education. Additive manufacturing technology is increasingly becoming a vital component of the "Emerging Engineering Education" initiative. However, domestic universities currently face multiple challenges in additive manufacturing education, such as a disconnect between teaching resources and industry development, an incomplete curriculum system, and insufficient interdisciplinary integration between majors like mechanical engineering, materials science, and software.

To effectively align university curricula with industry advancement, enhance interdisciplinary integration, and ultimately achieve the goal of cultivating practice-oriented talent, the "Light of Technology, Intelligent Manufacturing Future" equipment donation ceremony and teaching cooperation launch event between Xi'an Intelligent Remanufacturing Research Institute and Chengdu University of Technology was held on October 23. Xi'an Intelligent Remanufacturing Research Institute Co., Ltd. entered Chengdu University of Technology, starting with the donation of advanced additive equipment, to support the discipline construction and talent cultivation in the university's College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. This donation ceremony is not only a significant move by the Research Institute to fulfill its social responsibility but also marks a key step in university-enterprise collaboration for synergistic talent cultivation and scientific innovation in the field of intelligent manufacturing. The ceremony was presided over by Zeng Bing, Party Secretary of the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.

At the donation ceremony, Wang Yang, Operational President of the Research Institute, and Deng Xingqiao, Dean of the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, jointly signed the donation agreement. University leaders from Chengdu University of Technology presented the donation certificate to the enterprise. As a leading domestic R&D institution in intelligent remanufacturing technology, Xi'an Intelligent Remanufacturing Research Institute has always been committed to the development of talent pipelines for China's manufacturing industry. The donated equipment represents cutting-edge technology in the additive manufacturing field. Featuring an integrated design, it offers high mobility, simple operation, and modular upgradability, making it well-suited for both teaching and research needs in additive manufacturing technology. Once operational, this equipment will significantly enhance the teaching and research hardware capabilities of the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in intelligent additive manufacturing, providing teachers and students with an end-to-end practical platform for learning technical principles and conducting hands-on exercises, effectively filling the gap in the college's additive manufacturing training equipment. Wang Yang, Operational President of the Xi'an Intelligent Remanufacturing Research Institute, expressed the hope that this equipment donation would help synchronize Chengdu University of Technology's teaching resources with technological advancements, enable students to engage with real-world industrial scenarios, and enhance their practical innovation abilities.

Currently, China is deeply implementing the strategy of building a strong manufacturing nation, promoting its high-end, intelligent, and green development. Deepening industry-education integration is both a concrete action responding to the spirit of the 20th National Congress and the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee, and a key pathway for planning the future towards the 15th Five-Year Plan. Seizing the opportunity presented by this donation, Xi'an Intelligent Remanufacturing Research Institute will actively link universities with industry, integrating corporate technological capabilities with academic intellectual resources to inject sustained momentum into the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
In the future, the
the Research Institute will continue to uphold the tenet of "Supporting Education, Giving Back to Society,"
collaborating with more universities to contribute to the cultivation of intelligent manufacturing talent in China,
and to the realization of technological self-reliance and the building of a strong manufacturing nation.
