Founded in 2007, TOPNC has spent nearly two decades advancing the development of high-end five-axis CNC machine tools and intelligent manufacturing equipment.
Today, the company serves as one of China's leading suppliers of advanced manufacturing systems for the aerospace industry, supporting some of the nation's most ambitious aviation and space programs.
TOPNC's technologies have been applied in major aerospace projects, including commercial aircraft manufacturing and next-generation launch vehicle programs.
Industry Leadership in Five-Axis CNC Technology
According to Frost & Sullivan, TOPNC ranked among the leading companies in China's aerospace five-axis CNC machine tool market, achieving a 10.0% market share in 2025.
As the demand for domestic high-end CNC equipment continues to grow, TOPNC has become a key contributor to China's advanced manufacturing ecosystem through continuous innovation and independent technology development.
Breakthrough Technologies
Over the years, TOPNC has developed a number of industry-leading technologies, including:
- Mirror Milling Technology
TOPNC developed the world's first 3-meter vertical dual five-axis mirror milling machine and China's first 5-meter vertical dual five-axis mirror milling machine.
This technology enables environmentally friendly, high-precision mechanical milling as an alternative to traditional chemical milling processes.
- Five-Axis Flip Milling Systems
Designed for efficient machining of aluminum and titanium structural components, these systems combine high-rigidity machine structures with automated loading and positioning solutions.
- Carbon Fiber Composite Machine Structures
TOPNC developed the world's first high-precision five-axis gantry machine utilizing carbon fiber composite moving components, reducing moving mass by up to 70% while significantly increasing machining speed.
- Five-Axis Friction Stir Welding Machines
The company pioneered China's first five-axis friction stir welding machine for rocket fuel tank manufacturing, enabling precision welding of complex curved aerospace structures.
Innovation Driven by Research
Innovation remains at the core of TOPNC's development.
By the end of 2025, the company had:
-
More than 90 granted patents
-
Over 40 patent applications filed
-
159 R&D professionals
-
Nearly 30% of R&D personnel holding master's degrees or higher
These investments continue to strengthen TOPNC's position in advanced manufacturing technologies.
Expanding Beyond Aerospace
While maintaining its leadership in aerospace manufacturing, TOPNC is actively expanding into two key growth areas.
- Compact Five-Axis CNC Machines for General Manufacturing
Leveraging aerospace-grade technology, TOPNC has introduced compact five-axis CNC platforms designed for broader industrial applications.
These systems help manufacturers reduce equipment requirements, labor costs, and production footprints while making advanced five-axis machining more accessible.
- AI-Powered CNC Systems
TOPNC is also developing next-generation AI-driven CNC solutions that aim to simplify traditional multi-stage machining workflows.
The vision is to transform complex programming and machining processes into an intelligent workflow that connects part design directly to finished production.
This initiative has received support from the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization and represents an important step toward the future of intelligent manufacturing.
Why This Matters for TOPFAB
The technologies behind TOPFAB originate from the same engineering expertise and manufacturing foundation developed by TOPNC over years of serving demanding aerospace applications.
As TOPNC enters a new chapter as a publicly listed company, we remain committed to making advanced manufacturing more accessible to creators, makers, designers, and innovators around the world.
Products like the TOPFAB TF500 represent that vision — bringing true five-axis CNC capability from industrial environments to modern creative spaces.
Looking Ahead
Listing on HKEX is not the finish line—it is the beginning of a new journey.
With continued investment in innovation, intelligent manufacturing, and next-generation CNC technologies, TOPNC will continue expanding its global presence and empowering the future of advanced manufacturing.
