What is 3D printing


3D printing (3DP) is a kind of rapid prototyping technology, also known as additive manufacturing. It is based on digital model files, using powdered metal or plastic and other bondable materials to construct by layer-by-layer printing. technology of objects.

3D printing is usually achieved using digital technology material printers. It is often used to make models in the fields of mold manufacturing and industrial design, and is gradually used in the direct manufacture of some products. There are already parts printed using this technology.




Application fields of 3D printing technology


Architectural Design

In the construction industry, engineers and designers have embraced building models printed with 3D printers, a method that is fast, low-cost, environmentally
beautiful. It fully meets the designer's requirements and can save a lot of materials at the same time.

Medical industry

For example, with the help of 3D printing technology, porous titanium metal bone implant prosthesis is used to treat patients with fracture and dislocation in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Automobile manufacturing industry

When the automotive industry conducts work such as safety testing, it will replace some non-critical components with 3D printed products to reduce costs while pursuing efficiency.

Traditional manufacturing

Traditional manufacturing also needs a lot of 3D printing products, because 3D printing is much better than traditional manufacturing in terms of cost, speed and accuracy. And 3d printing technology It is very suitable for mass production in itself, so the manufacturing industry can bring many benefits to use 3D technology, and even quality control is no longer an issue.

Scientific research

Through 3D scanning of the fossils, a 3D model suitable for research was made using 3D printing technology, which not only retained all the external characteristics of the original fossils, but also made comparisons.

The number of cases is reduced, which is more suitable for research.Product prototype
For example, Microsoft's 3D model printing workshop, after the product is designed, prints out the model through a 3D printer, which allows the design and manufacturing department to better improve the product.

Protection of cultural relics


3D printing technology is of great significance in restoring and preserving historical culture. It can restore the authenticity of cultural relics and record the history of these cultural relics that have suffered disasters.
Effectively avoiding the obliteration of human historical memory.

Food industry

In the food industry, researchers are already experimenting with printing chocolate. Perhaps in the near future, many foods that look exactly the same will be printed with 3D food machine "printed" out.

Accessories

This is the broadest market. In the future, whether it is your personalized pen holder, or the mobile phone case with your half-body embossed, or the unique in the world that you and your lover have the unique custom 3D printed figurines may be printed by a 3D printer. It doesn't even have to wait until the future, it can happen now.




3D printing can greatly reduce the loss of raw materials in the production process, and in the fields of complexity, precision, and personalization, traditional production processes are difficult to achieve.

There is no problem with 3D printing.In the near future, 3D printing can bring more changes to our lives. 3D printing can go deeper into our lives, and can
Play a role in more fields!

What is Selective Laser Melting (SLM) 3D Printing Technology

图片
 The application of 3D printing technology can be traced back to the stereolithography (SLA) technology developed by Charles Hull of the United States in 1986. In the next 20 years, a number of 3D printing technology patents such as layered solid manufacturing (LOM) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) came out one after another. , SLM solution, etc.  Since 3D printing technology started earlier in European and American countries, after more than 30 years of development, technologies such as SLA (stereolithography) and SLS (selective laser sintering) have been relatively mature. It is relatively perfect in R&D and manufacturing of high-temperature metal materials and equipment. The development status of 3D printing technology Since the beginning of the 21st century, various subdivisions of additive manufacturing technology have been further developed, such as digital light processing (DLP), multi-head jet technology (PloyJet), etc. have been developed. Special 3D printing ...

What is 3D Printing？ 3D printing is a method of additive manufacturing, which can process objects layer by layer according to 3D model files. 3D printing can ignore the complex structure of the model, and print out the model, which can be well personalized and customized. Production. The molding method of 3D printing is very suitable for the production of toy models. Magic Box will introduce to you the main advantages of 3D printing toy models  . The general process of 3D printing toy models is conception → manual drawing of floor plans → computer software drawing of 3D modeling → 3D printing → re-verification. After several iterations, the design is finally completed, and 3D printing generally only takes one day to complete, which can greatly reduce production time. The Main Advantages Of 3D Printing Toys: (1) Personalization of toys is easier: because of 3D printing, customization or highly personalization of toys is already very easy to achieve. (2) Development of new toy produ...

What is the Development of 3D Printing

图片
With the development of society, there are always some new technologies appearing in our lives and playing an increasingly important role. The 3D printing we are going to talk about today is such a technology. 3D printing has only appeared for decades, but its development is visible. Many people may mention that the first thing that pops up in the mind of 3D is 3D movies watched in cinemas, which is indeed a kind of 3D technology. application, but today we are talking about 3D printing, a technology that is more widely used in our lives and has changed our lives the most. 3D is now widely used in many fields such as manufacturing, medical treatment, education, aerospace, military and so on. Since the birth of 3D printing technology in the 1980s, it has been considered as a rapid prototyping technology for a long period of development, but in the past five to ten years, the application field of 3D printing technology has gone beyond the prototype Instead, it has gradually evolved toward...
