Guangdong Origin Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd., founded in 2015, is a company dedicated to the development, production, and manufacturing of multi-axis CNC systems—often referred to as the “brain” of industrial mother machines—with a focus on five-axis and higher-axis linkage systems. By integrating CNC systems with industrial software, the company offers intelligent manufacturing solutions centered around laser CNC machine tools.
Through continuous technological innovation and product breakthroughs, Origin Intelligence has rapidly risen to become one of the few innovative enterprises in China that possesses dual R&D capabilities in high-end five-axis and above CNC systems and multi-axis ultra-precision laser machine tools. The company has been honored with titles such as National “Little Giant” Enterprise in Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative Development, and National Intellectual Property Advantage Enterprise. According to Laser Manufacture News, Origin Intelligence’s development over the past decade can be divided into two strategic five-year phases:
The First Five-Year Plan (2015–2019): This was a period of technical breakthroughs and product stabilization. During this phase, the company successfully achieved core technological advancements in both CNC systems and mechanical machine tools, forming its two main business lines: high-end CNC laser machine tools and high-end CNC systems.
The Second Five-Year Plan (2020–2024): Building upon its earlier foundation, Origin Intelligence entered a phase of continuous innovation, tackling a series of technical challenges ranging from CAM software to advanced optical systems. During this period, products began to be produced in volume and were highly recognized by customers. The company’s flagship five-axis laser machining centers are now widely applied in fields such as ultra-hard materials, lab-grown diamonds, mold texturing, 3C electronics, and semiconductors.
In this issue’s Cover Figure feature, Laser Manufacture News interviewed Dr. Qian Daishu, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Origin Intelligence. He provided in-depth insights into the company’s development path from perspectives including technical R&D, market competitiveness, core products, marketing strategies, customer service, and future planning—offering readers a glimpse into the company’s upcoming third five-year plan.
- Laser Manufacturing Review： Dr. Qian, Origin Intelligence has been recognized as a national “Little Giant” enterprise in specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative development. The company has established multiple innovation platforms and boasts strong R&D capabilities. Could you introduce the structure of your R&D team? What strategies has Origin implemented to maintain its leading edge in technological innovation?
Qian Daishu:
In recent years, Origin Intelligence has recruited more than 20 high-level professionals, including PhDs from leading domestic and international universities and senior engineers. This has allowed us to build a highly qualified and skilled team, laying a solid foundation for sustained technological innovation and long-term development. Moreover, we have been actively promoting deep integration of industry, academia, and research to enhance our innovation capabilities. In the field of precision and ultra-precision CNC machine tools, many common industry challenges—such as the complexity of manufacturing processes, and the long cycles required to validate stability and reliability—cannot be easily overcome by a single enterprise alone in a short time frame. To address this, we have established long-term collaborative partnerships with renowned institutions such as the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology & Engineering, Central South University, and Guangdong University of Technology. By building a think tank of industry experts and forming joint innovation teams with external partners, we conduct collaborative research and tackle key technical problems together. This approach has significantly improved our R&D efficiency and accelerated the pace of technological breakthroughs.

- Laser Manufacturing Review：How is your product positioned in the market, and what is your current market share? What marketing strategies and sales channels has Origin Intelligence adopted for market expansion? Are there any ongoing plans or initiatives to expand internationally?
Qian Daishu:
Origin Intelligence focuses on two main business segments: high-end laser CNC machine tools and advanced CNC systems. Through continuous technological innovation and product breakthroughs, we have quickly grown into one of the few innovative enterprises in China with dual R&D capabilities in multi-axis precision laser CNC machines and high-end CNC systems. Notably, 90% of the core components in our high-end laser CNC machines have been localized, making us a trusted supplier in sectors such as aerospace, ultra-hard materials, and lab-grown diamonds. In terms of market expansion, Origin Intelligence is pursuing several key strategies:
1.Positioning of CNC Systems in the Mid-to-High-End Segment
Our self-developed CNC systems are clearly positioned in the mid- to high-end market. Backed by a wealth of technical expertise and patented innovations, our CNC systems have been verified through extensive industrial applications and are now used by several leading enterprises in the industry. This marks a significant breakthrough in overcoming long-standing dependency on foreign high-end CNC technology.
2. High-Quality Laser CNC Machines Enable Import Substitution
The performance gap between Origin’s laser CNC machines and similar models from top international manufacturers has been significantly reduced, enabling effective import substitution. Our machines are designed not only to replace imported laser equipment but also to substitute traditional grinding machines and metal-cutting centers.
For example, in the ultra-hard cutting tools sector, our Light5X 40V (for 3C applications), Light5X 40VP (for ultra-precision machining), and Light5X 60V (for the automotive industry) offer performance metrics comparable to major international brands. Additionally, core components—including the CNC system, laser source, rotary table, and optical control system—are now entirely localized, enabling high-speed, high-precision machining of complex ultra-hard tools, such as PCD micro-edge cutters. Origin also has a significant price advantage. Based on market surveys comparing base model configurations, our five-axis laser machining centers are typically priced at around 60% of similar overseas products, offering exceptional cost-performance value.
3. Integration into the Supply Chains of the Cutting Tool and Aerospace Sectors
Our expansion is closely tied to high-growth downstream industries, which provide a stable foundation for long-term revenue. Customer industries include aerospace, ultra-hard tooling, automotive, mold manufacturing, medical devices, and semiconductors—sectors that are generally resilient to market fluctuations. In particular, the cutting tool, aerospace, and automotive industries are benefiting from increased defense spending, supportive policies, and ongoing technological innovation, all of which ensure a sustained high level of demand. Leveraging our technical strengths and product quality, Origin has successfully entered the supply chains of leading companies in the CNC tooling industry. Our laser five-axis machining centers have also been included in Guangdong Province’s Key Equipment Technology Catalog (First Set Program).
The laser processing market is becoming increasingly diversified, with both domestic and international players expanding across various segments, from laser sources to full laser systems. While large, well-established firms lead in technology and market share, many SMEs are thriving through innovation and market segmentation. In such a competitive environment, Origin Intelligence is placing greater emphasis on combining technological innovation with market demand. By offering differentiated products and services, we aim to meet the diverse needs of our customers and promote the sustainable development of the laser processing industry.
