3D printing is a type of rapid prototyping technology, also known as additive manufacturing. It is a technology that uses adhesive materials such as powdered metal or plastic to construct objects through layer-by-layer printing based on digital model files.
From the perspective of the 3D printing industry chain, the upstream industries mainly include raw materials, core hardware, auxiliary tools, etc.; the midstream industries mainly include equipment manufacturers and 3D printing service providers; the downstream industries are mainly used in machinery manufacturing, aerospace, automobiles, and medical care. , education, military, culture, etc. Special applications mainly include biology, food, architecture, portrait printing, etc.
The application of 3D printing technology in the consumer goods/electronics field mainly includes mobile phone cases, headphones, watches, toys, accessories and other products. Personalized customization, rapid prototyping and small batch production can be achieved to meet the diverse needs of consumers.
Applications in the medical field mainly include prosthetics, teeth, bones, organs and other products. According to the individual differences of patients, medical devices and human tissues can be manufactured that meet their body structure and functional needs to improve medical effects.
Applications in the field of industrial equipment mainly include molds, parts, tools and other products. It can realize the manufacturing of complex structures and high-performance materials, reduce production costs and time, and improve the reliability and efficiency of equipment.
Applications in the automotive field mainly include engines, wheels, instrument panels and other products. It can realize the rapid design and verification of automobile parts, improve the performance and safety of automobiles, and also meet consumers' personalized needs for automobile appearance and functions.
Applications in the aerospace field mainly include rocket engines, satellite parts, aircraft structures and other products. It can achieve lightweight and optimized design of aerospace devices, improve the performance and reliability of aerospace vehicles, and also reduce manufacturing costs and time.
3D printing technology is used in the construction field to print building structures and components, such as precast concrete wall panels and building exterior decorations. This reduces construction costs, speeds up construction, and enables more complex and innovative designs.
