new opportunities in the context of industry 4.0: 3D printing

in 1986, Charles hull, an American scientist, developed the first commercial 3D printing machine. Since then, mankind has entered the era of 3D printing. However, due to the high cost of 3D printing, 3D printing has not yet fully entered the commercial field. With the reduction of the cost of 3D printing machines and consumables, 3D printing technology began to enter the industrial field more and more. On February 28, 2015, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the national development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the national additive manufacturing industry development promotion plan (year) (hereinafter referred to as the "plan"). The plan gives instructions on the development of 3D printing technology in terms of general requirements, specific promotion plans, and policies and measures, and requires local industrial management, development and reform, finance and other departments to strengthen communication, closely cooperate, and earnestly do a good job in relevant guidance and services. In the context of welcoming the comprehensive arrival of industry 4.0, China's 3D printing industry is facing unprecedented opportunities

3d printing is listed in the key project of industry 4.0

the plan points out: "At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial reform is emerging, forming a historic intersection with China's industrial transformation and upgrading. The world's industrial powers have cultivated additive manufacturing as a new growth point for future industrial development, formulated national strategies and specific promotion measures for the development of additive manufacturing, and strive to seize the lead. The project will also build a new production clean room and a laboratory for polymer outsourcing research service projects." Technological and industrial commanding heights. " Germany also proposed that the fourth industrial revolution (industry 4.0) is quietly taking place in the world, and 3D printing technology is included in the key projects of industry 4.0 planning. The development of 3D printing technology has become the focus of the global era

Li peixue, head of Sandi spacetime, said: 3D printing technology, as an emerging technology, has not formed a complete industrial chain at present. The government needs to increase support in technology research and development, and the development of all aspects needs to be further improved. Now the three ministries and commissions have issued the plan to increase the support for the development of 3D printing industry in all aspects, and support, guide and Ensure the healthy and rapid development of 3D printing industry

sinoces has set up 3D printing exhibition areas for three consecutive years. 3D printing enterprises are no longer satisfied with displaying desktop level 3D printers, but more enterprises have brought 3D printers that can be used in the industrial field. The heads of several 3D printing enterprises told that 3D printing technology will eventually be used in the industrial field in order to bring greater benefits

this year, the national 3D printing market will reach 20billion yuan

data show that the output value of 3D printing in China was close to 10billion yuan in 2015. If it is promoted smoothly, it will double to 20billion yuan in 2016. Some experts said that although China's relevant technology temporarily lags behind the world's advanced level, this does not prevent us from becoming the world's largest 3D printing market. Professionals predict that in the next 3-5 years, China's 3D printing market is expected to grow at least twice the rate each year

in China, 3D printing has shouldered the major mission of manufacturing industry transformation, and the policies -- the "green supply chain", "low-carbon transformation" in Europe and the United States, the rise of new product design concepts such as zero emissions in Japan, have shown great enthusiasm for the 3D printing industry. With the introduction of the "national additive manufacturing industry development promotion plan (year)" and "made in China 2025" and other policies, Additive manufacturing represented by 3D printing has been promoted to the national strategic level

the above growth data seems to confirm the famous economist Jeremy? Rifkin's view is that with the continuous development of Internet and the progress of science and technology, the manufacturing industry will take 3D printing and related intelligent manufacturing methods as a breakthrough, and transition from centralized manufacturing to national manufacturing, which will greatly improve human productivity

3D printing has entered many fields

3D printing has broad application prospects in the industrial field, medical field and IOT field. At the end of 2015, American industry giant 3D Systems announced that it would withdraw from the "consumer" market and turn to the more profitable professional and industrial 3D printing market. Some experts pointed out that in the future, the industrial field will also be the mainstream market of 3D printing, and more enterprises will reluctantly abandon the consumer market and focus on the industrial market. The platform, intelligence and systematization of 3D printing industrial applications in the future will be inevitable

at the same time, it is predicted that 3D printing will be more widely used, especially in the medical field. In the past five years, the pursuit of 3D printing in the investment community has brought 3D printing technology and materials into a period of rapid growth. Among them, there are more and more kinds of materials that can be applied to orthopedic surgery assistance and implantation. More medical applications can adopt 3D printing materials, from guides to prostheses, from rehabilitation devices to crowns, and the future cell printing technology. The development of 3D printing in the medical field is worth looking forward to

"IOT" as an important element of modern products, more and more consumer goods are installed with sensors or other electronic components. In the future, the use of artificial intelligence to design products will become the mainstream, and many components of these intelligent products can only be produced by 3D printing. Joe ˙ Ellison wrote in the article "the impact of 3D printing on the manufacturing industry soon": "today, 3D printing is still regarded as a technical solution, but in the future, 3D printing will be a commercial solution"
