Reading: 3D printing market expands | Desktop 3D printers have great potential | 3D printing market expands | Desktop 3D printers have great potential

At present, with the continuous development of technology, 3D printers have been widely used in many fields of industrial production. In the process of promoting the application, the demand for desktop-level 3D printers continues to grow, providing many conveniences for people's production and life. 3D printing Market-scale expansion of desktop-class 3D printers has great potential.

Science and technology is the first driving force for industrial development. In recent years, China has introduced a number of policies to promote the development of cutting-edge technology. 3D printing as one of the cutting-edge technologies, the traditional process, production line, factory model, industrial chain combination, etc. Has a profound impact, and has effectively changed the development process of the manufacturing industry.

China's 3D printing market continues to expand

From concept to rise, 3D printing has experienced a long process of development. Since the 1980s, China has started research and development of 3D printing technology, and has formed four research and development centers of Beihang University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University and Tsinghua University. With the unremitting efforts of R&D personnel, the number of patent applications for 3D printing technology in China has exceeded 9,000 in 2017, and the development speed of 3D printing technology is accelerating.

In recent years, with the continuous development of technology, the application scenarios of 3D printing have been continuously expanded. At present, the application of 3D printing in China is mainly concentrated in the fields of medical, aerospace, automotive and other transportation, home appliances and consumer electronics. According to the “3D Printing Industry Market Demand and Investment Potential Analysis Report” released by Prospective Industry Research Institute, from 2012 to 2016, the compound growth rate of China's 3D printing industry exceeded 49%, which is a rapid growth.

Under the impetus of many parties, China's 3D printing industry has continued to develop in a good manner in recent years, and the market scale has continued to expand. In 2017, the market size of 3D printing in China exceeded 1.7 billion yuan, an increase of over 47% year-on-year. With the continuous advancement of technology, the demand for 3D printing in aerospace, automotive and other industries will continue to increase.

Relevant policies drive 3D printing devices to accelerate application

Overall, 3D printing includes not only 'fusing molding', 'laser sintering' and other technologies, but also 3D printing equipment and corresponding supporting services. 3D printer as a device that can 'print' out real objects, The application value of various industries is increasingly recognized by researchers. At present, researchers at home and abroad regard 3D printers as a new engine to promote the continuous development of related industries.

In order to promote the practical application of 3D printing equipment, China has introduced a number of policies in recent years. In 2017, the “Implementation Plan for Key Technology Industrialization of Major Technical Equipments” was released. The program pointed out: Leading by key enterprises, and joint related units to accelerate development 3D printing equipment, to meet the needs of black and aluminum alloy castings in large engines, aerospace and other fields, which shows that the role of 3D printing equipment in industrial development is more and more important.

Under the policy guidance, the technology research and development of 3D printing equipment has been accelerating, and many manufacturers have begun to strengthen communication with their peers and strive to produce printing equipment with different functions. In 2017, the global shipment of 3D printers has exceeded 390,000 units, a year-on-year increase. More than 30%. At the same time, although there is a certain gap between the manufacturing level of China's 3D printers and developed countries, Chinese brands' 3D printers also occupy a certain market share.

Users are looking forward to the future of desktop 3D printers

At present, the demand for desktop-level 3D printers is increasing in many types of printing devices. Among the users of desktop-level 3D printers, the proportion of education and students is large, and the mechanical manufacturing industry is the main extension. Group, product development related practitioners also occupy a certain proportion.

Compared with industrial-grade 3D printers, the price of desktop-level 3D printers is relatively low. The desktop-level 3D printers used by ordinary people often use FDM3D printing technology. This technology prints products closer to people's daily necessities, and is easy to operate. Therefore, it is sought after by some users. At the same time, users have more expectations for desktop 3D printers.

For example, the print time of a desktop 3D printer can be shortened. When using a desktop 3D printer, users often have to wait for a long time. If you need to print more files or more data, it will take a long time. Some desktop printers can only interconnect print devices, but not scan devices. This defect needs to be improved.

In addition, managers can only implement decentralized management for desktop-level 3D printers. Centralized management is more difficult. If users have multiple desktop-level 3D printers, the management is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Best of all.

In short, users are looking forward to networking, automatic detection, etc. for desktop-level 3D printers. I hope that desktop-level 3D printers can continue to improve in performance and achieve intelligent upgrades. Enterprises only continue to design, performance and other aspects. Enhance, you can truly build the core competitiveness of desktop-level 3D printers, and provide more convenience for users to use desktop-level 3D printers!
