The advantages of 3d printing

1 Time and raw material cost advantages

3D printing has become a trend, and has begun to be widely used in the design field, especially industrial design, digital products, etc., can be completed within a few hours to print a mold, saving a lot of product to market development time. This type of printer is four times faster than conventional construction methods and uses only one-third to one-half of the raw materials used, and more importantly, it produces almost no waste.

2 diverse types

3D printers can print 3D models using various raw materials, use 3D assisted design software, engineers design a model or prototype, whether it is a house or a prosthetic heart valve, and then print and print through 3D printers produced by related companies. The raw materials can be organic or inorganic materials, such as rubber, plastic, or even human organs, and the printing materials provided by different printer manufacturers are different. Applications for 3D printers can be any industry as long as these industries require models and prototypes. Industries with large demand for 3D printers include government, aerospace and defense, medical equipment, high technology, education, and manufacturing.

3 The strong function of the connection

In the heavy machinery and high-end precision machinery equipment used in the aircraft, nuclear power and thermal power industries, the traditional welding and component reinforcement methods make the connection between components insecure, but using 3D printing technology, the products that come out are natural Seamless connection, the stability and connection strength between the structures is much higher than the traditional method. This is widely used in high-end equipment manufacturing industries such as aircraft and nuclear power. In August 2011, engineers at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom designed and tested the world’s first “printed” aircraft. The aircraft's shell is made up of a 3D laser printer that prints nylon specifically and is superimposed on top of each other. It's very light. Given its speed of 100 kilometers per hour, its tightness is indeed beyond people's imagination.
