"The ideas of the last century, the technology of the last century, the market of this century", in fact, 3D printing technology is not a new product. 3D printer technology has always been concerned and used by a few people during its growth and development period, but it is not an exaggeration to make 3D printing one of the most interesting technologies in the world at present, and some people even claim that 3D printing will be the first The beginning of the four industrial revolutions.
Medical Application
Rescue the wounded requires the full use of the potential of medical resources, and 3D printing has become the right arm of the doctor. Today, the medical industry already has a full range of 3D printed products and applications ranging from instruments, organs to surgery. The simplest application is the use of metal, plastic and other non-living tissue materials to customize medical devices such as prosthetics, dental, orthopaedic implants, hearing aid shells, etc. This application is already very popular. Advanced, you can also use 3D printing to make blood vessels , cartilage and other living tissues, and what’s more, it can even print artificial livers, hearts, etc.
Architectural Design
In the construction industry, engineers and designers have embraced 3D printer-printed building models as a method that is fast, low-cost, environmentally friendly, and beautifully produced. It is completely in line with the designer's requirements, while saving a lot of material.
Component Printing
For different parts design concepts, 3D printing can be printed immediately and quickly, considering the requirements of different levels, saving time, effort and cost.
Toy Anime
Whether designers or ordinary people, they can design toys by themselves with the help of 3D printers, and everyone can design their favorite toy models. For toy manufacturing companies, upgrading the traditional product development model to technology and using 3D printers for product development proofing can greatly reduce the product development cycle and cost.
Daily Necessities
In addition to clothes, 3D printing also includes shoes, heightening insoles and other necessities of our daily life. Although 3D printed clothing, shoes and insoles are out of reach now, they are increasingly entering our vision, entering our life, and even running through our daily life in the future.
Automobile Industry
Back in September 2013, Popular Mechanics published an article that a car that is basically 100% 3D printed can go 100 miles per gallon. The hybrid vehicle consists of 20 parts and has a white ABS body. Additionally, Arizona-based Local Motors is looking to transform the entire automotive industry by building carbon fiber/ABS composite cars through 3D printing. In fact, Local Motors will complete mass production and sales of 3D-printed cars by next year.
It has to be said that in the world of 3D printing, there are only unimaginable things that cannot be done. No one thought that 3D printing technology could penetrate into the automotive, food and other industries. With the development of this industry, the speed of printing items in the future will be faster and faster, the printing cost will be lower and lower, and it will even be more reliable than traditional manufacturing. At the same time, the popularity of drawing software such as 3D printers and CAD means that more people will be exposed to 3D printing technology, which in turn stimulates the healthy development of this industry.
