Follow Shanghai Inside3D Printing Exhibition to explore the trend of 3D printing in China|

[Tianji.com Enterprise Channel] [Tianji.com Office Channel News on November 6] As the global summit forum and tour of the Inside 3D printing industry (hereinafter referred to as 3D Inside), the final battle, from November 4 to 5, 2014, at The Shanghai Exhibition Center officially opened the Inside 3D tour, attracting nearly 382 3D printing professionals from 21 countries and regions to participate in three summit forums, and 51 exhibitors and nearly 4,156 visitors participated in the exhibition. It has become the vane of China's 3D printing industry, and provides a large enough platform for domestic 3D printing industry stakeholders to communicate in various aspects such as technology and business.

The world's most authoritative 3D printing professionals from all walks of life presented the audience with wonderful speeches one after another during the 2-day 3-session summit forum. Through the on-site speeches, the audience had a further understanding of 3D printing. Understand, you can feel the development trend of 3D printing in China. First of all, it is necessary to evolve from made in China to created in China, so that 3D printing technology can rely on its own strength to innovate and develop, and rely on application terminals to accelerate the exploration of business models and make 3D printing equipment change. higher precision and higher quality.

Evolving from Made in China to Created in China

Since the popularization of open source technology, domestic 3D printing manufacturers have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but the overall pattern still presents users with a small and scattered feeling after years of development. During the exhibition, experts and exhibitors believed that how to successfully transform Chinese manufacturing into Chinese creation will be related to the future direction of China's 3D printing industry.


During the summit forum, academician Lu Bingheng, the only 3D printing academician in China, and Terry Wohlers, a global 3D printing authority, both put forward their views on China's future 3D printing road. The biggest challenge facing China's 3D printing industry now and in the future is innovation. From 3D printing materials, equipment to services, carefully consider what contributions China's 3D printing industry has made. If the local government supports enterprises to develop 3D printing, then how to create a good innovation atmosphere for enterprises is also very important. There are many domestic manufacturers of 3D printing products, but most of them lack their own special products, which may eventually lead to bankruptcy. From Made in China to Created in China, during this period, China's 3D printing still has a long way to go. to go. At the Inside 3D exhibition, it can be seen that well-known domestic printing companies such as Dongguan Zhiwei, Tianwei, Xitong, etc. have begun to attach importance to the independent research and development of technology and knowledge patent protection. However, in the process of innovation and development, it is necessary to find a suitable direction to make the space of 3D printing more and more extensive.

Accelerate the exploration of business models with application terminals

How to solve the bottleneck in the development of the 3D printing industry is the key to the innovative 3D printing industry. Successfully integrating 3D printing with traditional industries and creating value-added products with high personalities is the best way to popularize 3D printing. At the Inside 3D exhibition, it can be seen that starting from the application is the choice of many companies, starting the business model exploration of related personalized customization services, and starting to try to provide a complete set of solutions to provide 3D printing individual entrepreneurs with integrated equipment and services .

The 3D photo studio exhibited at the exhibition has become a breakthrough for many companies to choose. The new 3D printing commercialization model that everyone saw this time - "10,000 yuan to start a 3D photo studio", successfully controlled the personal entrepreneurial cost of the 3D printing photo studio to about 70,000 yuan, and provided scanners and FDM 3D printers. And backend cloud service support. Manufacturers are also working hard to change and launch their own commercialization models, from the practical application of digital technology to the 3D diffuse imaging system that combines software and hardware, so that 3D printers can be more reasonably introduced to the public.


3D printing equipment pursues high precision and high quality

The 3D printing industry as a whole is in a stage of rapid growth. Both technology and the market are in a period of rapid development and change. In the future, 3D printers will definitely focus on the high quality of house printed products. It will take a long time for the new army of the 3D market and the traditional printing industry giant HP's 3D printers to come into the market. After the continuous improvement process, the metal additive high-precision 3D printers have a broader market. market space.


Although relatively speaking, the price of FDM type is higher and the market popularization will take a certain period of time, but there are still many manufacturers in this Inside 3D focusing on exhibiting high-precision 3D printers based on DLP (Digital Light Processor) technology. The light-curing 3D printer adopts the surface forming printing method, which can significantly improve the accuracy and does not affect the printing speed. The desktop-level high-precision DLP light-curing 3D printing equipment launched by Zhiwei Molding Co., Ltd. is only half the price of foreign machines with the same performance.

The two-day 3D tour officially ended with the enthusiastic participation of speakers, exhibitors, and audiences. During this Inside 3D tour, the exhibition and the summit were combined very well, forming a good integration between entrepreneurs and scientists , successfully diverged thinking and obtained more information. The Inside 3D exhibition is well-organized, high-end, and professional. The audience is also very professional, which has played a positive role in promoting the entire 3D printing industry.
