1. China is no longer a factory of the world
Today, almost all products are printed with "Made in China." However, in the future, with the development and popularization of 3D printing technology, localized production will become very extensive and China will lose its position as a “world factoryâ€. Even Harvard Business Review agrees with this point. A few years ago, there was an article pointing out that the emergence of 3D printing will enable those countries with technological and cost advantages to re-enter the industrial production road.
2. Mass customization
The essence of 3D printing technology makes mass customization possible. Whether printing the same product with 500 different styles or printing 500 different products of the same style, 3D printers can do it. In traditional production methods, the cost of modifying the design is very expensive. With 3D printing, as long as there is design software, designers can modify the design at almost zero cost, making mass customization possible.
3. Produce unprecedented parts
In traditional production methods, the more complex parts, the higher the price. Complicated parts must also be manufactured in multiple parts and involve additional assembly processes. The 3D printing technology can solve these problems at one time. The production speed is fast, the production cost is low, and the complicated shape is not a problem.
4. New materials continue to emerge
The change in production technology will inevitably promote the development of materials technology, which is particularly prominent in 3D printing technology. However, 3D printing technology has only been used for 30 to 40 years. There are thousands of printing materials. In the future, more new materials will surely appear to meet the development requirements of production technology.
5. Multi-material products
The more advanced 3D printers have been able to print a variety of materials at the same time. By sintering, melting and mixing, materials such as metal, plastic and glass can appear in the same print product. With the development of production technology, 3D printers will be able to integrate more materials, so future products will have a variety of materials.
6. Reduced resource consumption
As we all know, products manufactured by 3D printers use less raw materials while having the same strength and durability. Therefore, in the future, the consumption of resources in industrial production will be reduced and the production costs will be reduced accordingly.
7. Speed ​​up production
The 3D printing technology has made many companies no longer need to go through complex and time-consuming mold construction stages when producing prototypes, which will significantly reduce production time. Manufacturers can design, print and modify products in one day or even hours, until the final completion.
8. Industrial production is more environmentally friendly
3D printing technology not only saves energy but also eliminates the transportation of products, so future industrial production will become more environmentally friendly. In the future, people's cars may be produced in the town's 3D printing factory, and they can go directly to the factory to pick up the car. This mode of production also saves storage costs. Not only that, the development of environmentally friendly materials will eventually make industrial production more environmentally friendly.
9. Mixed production
Not long ago, there was a news report about an integrated machine that integrated 3D printing, CNC machine tools, and Laser Cutting. The disadvantage of 3D printing is that, in most cases, post-processing of the prints is required, and the advantages of CNC machine tools are such that the two can exactly complement each other. Future industrial production will integrate various technologies, complement each other, and obtain the most optimized production technology.
10. Change in the supply chain
More and more companies are applying 3D printing technology, localized production networks are gradually forming, supply chain and supply methods will also change. Some supply chains will change, some may disappear. As long as there are 3D printers, raw materials, and design software, manufacturers do not have to rely on traditional supply chains, and products can be produced locally. The future supply chain must change to adapt to the trend of 3D printing.
3D printing technology is about to change the next ten major events
The “turning out of the world†of 3D Printing technology may have strained many companies that are deeply pursuing traditional manufacturing methods. But in fact, the traditional industry should face the convenience brought by 3D printing technology. Its essence is not to and can not subvert the traditional manufacturing, but only through a new model to better serve traditional manufacturing. Everything in traditional manufacturing is now in the process of transforming 3D printing technology.
