It is often used in mold manufacturing, industrial design and other fields to make models, and then gradually used in the direct manufacturing of some products. Parts already printed with this technology. This technology has been applied to jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), automobile, aerospace, dentistry and medical industry, education, geographic information system, civil engineering, guns and other fields.

The influence of 3D printing on production and lifestyle: promoting the change of manufacturing mode. 3D printing technology has greatly adjusted and changed the second industrial revolution with production line as the processing mode, and began to develop in the direction of intelligence, personalization and customization.
Changes in the manufacturing process. 3D printing has changed the traditional way of cutting and assembling raw materials, thus effectively saving raw materials and time. For example, in aerospace manufacturing, the main metal material is solid titanium, and more than 90% of the material will be wasted. If titanium powder 3D printing technology is used, materials with the same characteristics as traditional solid titanium can be processed, thus greatly saving raw materials.
Promote the progress of manufacturing technology. 3D printing technology is a high-tech that combines the advantages of many disciplines. With the continuous development and maturity of 3D printing technology, it will have a revolutionary impact on the development of new materials and intelligent manufacturing technology, and then drive the development of other related industries.
