3D printing, one of the fast forming techniques, is a technique for constructing objects by layer-by-layer printing, using a bindable material such as powdered metal or plastic. 3D printing technology is often used in manufacturing models such as mold manufacturing and industrial design and is gradually used in the direct manufacturing of some products. There are already parts printed using this technology. The technology has applications in jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC), automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education, geographic information systems, civil engineering, and other fields.
1. The 3D printing will replace the traditional manufacturing industry?
As a manufacturing technology, 3D printing cannot replace the traditional manufacturing industry. However, compared with the traditional manufacturing industry, 3D printing has its unique comparative advantages, reflected in the personalized, difficult and complex technical characteristics. It can be said that 3D printing is the gain and supplement of the traditional manufacturing industry, and it has significant advantages in the early design and modeling stages of the traditional manufacturing process.
2. 3D Printing: suitable for mass production?
Is 3D printing a good solution for commercial mass production? Some designers want to print the products they design in bulk for sale, even thinking they just have a sales department and hand the rest over to the 3D printer to complete.
However, if you consider the cost and length of time required for 3D printing, you will come to the conclusion that 3D printing to commercial mass production does not make much significance in use.
3. 3D Print object: No support required?
Many beginners who have just stepped into the field of 3D printing, often forget that the important point is to have a comprehensive understanding of the printed objects before printing.
Because the 3D printer works by printing the entire object through additive manufacturing. So we need to add support structures to many objects with complex structures.
4. Future of 3D printing: worrying prospects?
Scientists and engineers use 3D printing technology to create prosthetic limbs, businessmen use it to prototype and test new products, and artists use 3D printers for sculpture and art-making.
Similarly, we also use 3D printing technology in space exploration, and astronauts can use 3D printing technology to replace emergency parts for more distant aviation detection.
The growth of the industry has brought technology from cosmic space to the desk of ordinary people. Over time, 3D printing will eventually become a technology that everyone can master.
