Today, the 3D printing industry has gradually grown into a key industry that can meet industrial production and realize manufacturing transformation. New industrial chains such as design, software, materials and digital manufacturing derived from 3D printing technology are gradually optimizing the traditional manufacturing industry and building a new manufacturing ecology. So in which industries does 3D printing technology have great development potential?

Biological 3D printing

Biomedical 3D printing refers to the rapid production of medical-related products with biomedical materials and cells as new discrete materials through technical design. At present, biological 3D printing can be divided into four levels: medical aided model, artificial prosthesis, tissue engineering scaffold, living cell printing and artificial organ. It is estimated that by 2024, the scale of 3D printing medical market will reach 9.639 billion yuan.

If the microporous prosthesis is used as the carrier, 3D printing technology can also become 4D printing technology, that is, some drugs can be added to enrich its functions, which will become one of the future development trends of biological 3D printing technology.

Foundry and forging industry

For the casting and forging industry, the manufacturing process needs to be separated from casting and forging, welding and milling, which requires a lot of technology and equipment, and it takes a long time and causes great pollution. Zhang Haiou, a professor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said that through the integrated manufacturing technology of three-dimensional casting, forging and milling, better forging performance can be obtained than traditional forging.

Metal 3D printing field

In the field of metal 3D printing, there are mainly two modes: powder spreading and powder feeding. Laser selective melting of powder spreading is a model, which is transported to the machine by slicing software for selective melting or selective melting, and then piled up layer by layer to make parts with very complicated internal structure. If the in-situ feeding and material reduction technology are combined, it will be a very good development trend and realize the improvement of quality and efficiency of manufacturing means.

The above is the industry analysis of 3D printing technology with great development potential introduced by Wukong Printing Workshop, hoping to provide you with reference.

Wukong Printing Workshop is a Shenzhen 3D printing company, which provides various printing services, such as 3D printing die hand, 3D printing animation hand, 3D printing building model, 3D printing portrait and so on.
