3D printing technology: domestic manufacturers "do not know how to start"

China's manufacturing industry is upgrading to intelligence. In this process, domestic companies are optimistic about the development of industrial robots. The reason is that the labor costs in the future are high and the labor force will be seriously insufficient. By contrast, although 3D printing technology is regarded by the industry as the future of manufacturing, many companies have been watching it. The reason is rather frustrating. Luo Jun, chief executive of China 3D Printing Technology Industry Alliance, explained to the media that domestic manufacturers "do not know how to start."

3D Printing Market: The Prospect of 200 Billion Yuan and Three Bottlenecks

3D printing can also be an additive manufacturing technology. It is a kind of rapid prototyping technology. The principle is to use three-dimensional digital model design, using laser sintering and other technological means to achieve raw material superposition molding.

Compared with traditional manufacturing, 3D printing has the advantages of low cost (including the cost of manufacturing complex items, cost-saving product diversification, cost-saving without assembly, etc.), environmental protection, and accurate physical copying. With the above characteristics, 3D printing is regarded as the future of manufacturing development with a bright future.

The industry is optimistic that the size of the global 3D printing market can increase from the current more than 30 billion yuan to 200 billion yuan in 2020. However, under the trend of good development, the bottleneck in the current development of 3D printing technology can not be ignored, mainly in terms of materials, costs and talent.

In theory, all materials should be able to be used for 3D printing. However, in practice, the materials that are easy to use are very limited, with only a dozen materials such as gypsum, inorganic powder, photosensitive resin, plastics, and ceramics, and they are expensive. According to the industry, there are few manufacturers who can produce these materials due to technical restrictions, so 3D printing materials are very scarce.

In terms of cost, 3D printers and 3D printing materials rely on imports, which makes the cost of domestic use of 3D printing technology high.

In terms of talents, professionals who really understand 3D printing technologies and applications in China are still very scarce.

Hundreds of companies are waiting for their efforts. How can "add value" of additive manufacturing be expected?

At present, there are about 100 companies in China engaged in 3D printing business, mainly in Beijing, Qingdao, Xi'an, Wuhan, Nanjing, Chengdu and Zhuhai.

A shares market, there are engaged in 3D printing services, laser gold, silver Jubilee technology; involved in 3D printing materials business with Asia-Pacific Technology, Bao Titanium shares; downstream molding companies have Han laser, Jiangnan Jiajie, Lida photoelectric.

Under the general trend of smart manufacturing, China’s policies are continuously improving the development of 3D printing. Inspired by this, there will be more and more companies engaged in 3D printing in the future. However, the existence of bottlenecks in materials, costs, and talents is a hidden danger in the future development of domestic 3D printing and should be resolved as soon as possible.

The industry believes that it can be broken from three aspects. First, the policy promotes the development of 3D printing material technology, encourages manufacturers to improve process technology and reduce costs; second, the use of foreign capital, the introduction of crowdfunding and PPP mode, to provide financial protection for the development of 3D printing Third, the company promotes technology and promotes the mature application of 3D printing in a certain area, and continues to promote this technology.
