Because 3D printing is an additive manufacturing technology, the upstream depends on the material, which is different from the traditional production process, so it basically solves the material problem that everything can be printed.
Here are some industry examples to illustrate:
Application of 1.3D printing in medical science and technology
In a previous program, Sister Shan accidentally saw a 3D printed blood vessel model for the on-site display of newly developed medical devices (as shown below).
In fact, the application of 3D printing technology in medical treatment is very common now, whether in medical research or practical application. News about 3D printing technology and medical technology is not uncommon.
What we don't know is that 3D printing technology has been widely used in the field of medical science and technology, such as 3D printing dentures, ears, skulls and so on. There has been a successful precedent that has benefited some people. With the maturity of technology, it is only a matter of time before these people are popularized.
The development and achievements transformation of these 3D printing technologies in the biomedical field have realized more accurate and customized medical services and treatments, effectively alleviated the pain of patients, reduced the treatment procedures and improved the cure rate.
For example, in the future, the application of 3D printing dental implants can realize the bionic tooth implantation well, realize immediate implantation effectively, accurately fit everyone's alveoli, reduce the implantation steps, relieve the pain of patients and effectively reduce the cost.
The Application of 2.3D in Industrial Manufacturing
The application of 3D printing in industrial manufacturing is also an increasingly common phenomenon and future trend. Aerospace, architecture, textile, jewelry technology, etc. 3D printing is gradually replacing some projects in traditional manufacturing industry, which is a revolution in new industrial manufacturing.
The 3D printed parts in C9 19 civil aircraft that make Chinese people proud, the 3D printed office building that Dubai plans to put into use, the 3D printed sports shoes launched by Adidas and so on. From aerospace to small household objects, it is not difficult to see the shadow of 3D printing.
(Adidas is the world's first mass-produced 3D printed sports shoes)
The application of 3D printing in these industrial manufacturing just meets the demand of customization and rapid elimination in the current and future consumer markets. The addition of 3D printing can effectively shorten the manufacturing cycle, reduce the manufacturing cost and protect the environment. It is believed that it is not a problem to realize a large number of customized services in a short time in the future.
For example, in jewelry technology, 3D printing wax pattern or lost wax resin is usually used to complete investment casting instead of the traditional steps of carving wax pattern by craftsmen, which effectively shortens the process of jewelry manufacturing and improves the efficiency of jewelry manufacturing.
3.3D application in teaching and education
Maker education is also increasingly respected in school teaching, which is what we are now committed to promoting.
In our contact with many teachers and users, we know that the application and innovation of 3D printing in teaching has effectively increased students' initiative and enthusiasm, and through the three-dimensional display of images, children's understanding of theoretical knowledge and the establishment of graphic thinking have been strengthened. Effectively develop children's creativity and imagination.
The changes that 3D printing has brought to education are conducive to the real implementation of quality education, and at the same time solve the previous cramming teaching, so that children can truly understand and apply knowledge.
4. Film and television animation industry
In addition, 3D printing is also widely used in animation, movie scenes and special effects. The scene effect is realistic, which is convenient for fast and low-cost scene construction.
These are some industry examples, and 3D printing has many applications.
In the future, 3D printing will be applied to more fields, more research and practical applications. Perhaps, many people have not really understood 3D printing, and many people are confused about the future of 3D printing.
But it is undeniable that 3D printing combined with various applications has gradually benefited our lives. After all, technology is still in people's hands. How to use it effectively and efficiently and create a more convenient and better life with it depends on the efforts of everyone in the industry.
