3D printing has a wide range of applications. It is used in many industries such as education, medical care, apparel, advertising, architecture, handcrafts, industrial manufacturing, prototyping, molds, and restoration of cultural relics.
Because 3D printing is a kind of additive manufacturing technology, the upstream depends on the material, different from the traditional production process, so basically solves the material problem is everything can be printed.
The following examples of some of the industry to illustrate:
1.3D printing used in medical technology
Previously, a program in the flash sister inadvertently saw a 3D printed blood vessel model for the new research and development of medical instruments used in the field show (the following figure).
In fact, now the application of 3D printing technology in health care has been very common, both in medical research and practical applications. News about 3D printing technology and medical technology is also common.
Unbeknownst to us, 3D printing technology has been heavily utilized in medical technology, like 3D printing of dentures, ears, skulls, etc., all of which have had successful precedents and benefited some people. As the technology continues to mature, it's only a matter of time before these are popularized to the masses.
The development of these 3D printing technologies in the biomedical field and the transformation of results to achieve more accurate and customized medical services and treatments, effectively reducing the patient's pain, reducing the treatment process, while improving the cure rate.
For example, the application of 3D printing dental implants in the future can well realize the bionic tooth implantation, effectively realize the immediate extraction and planting, and can accurately fit everyone's tooth groove, reduce the implantation steps, alleviate the patient's pain, and effectively reduce the cost.
2.3D application in industrial manufacturing
3D printing in industrial manufacturing is also an increasingly common phenomenon and future trends. Aerospace, construction, weaving, jewelry craft and so on, are using 3D printing gradually replace the traditional manufacturing part of the project, can be described as a new style of industrial manufacturing revolution.
Let the country proud of the C919 civil aviation machine in the 3D printing parts, Dubai plans to put into use 3D printing office building, Adidas launched 3D printing sneakers, etc., on the aerospace, down to the household small objects are not difficult to see the shadow of 3D printing.
(Adidas world's first mass-produced 3D printed sneakers)
The use of 3D printing in these industrial manufacturing is in line with the current and future consumer market demand for customization of the embodiment of the fast-moving consumer demand. 3D printing in which to join, effectively shorten the manufacturing period, reduce the cost of manufacturing can be environmentally friendly, I believe that the future of the realization of a large number of differences between the individual customization of the service in a short period of time will not be a problem. will not be a problem.
For example, in the jewelry industry, 3D printing wax molds or wax-loss resins are now commonly used to replace the traditional artisan carving wax steps to complete the casting of the molten mold, which effectively shortens the process of jewelry manufacturing and improves the efficiency of jewelry manufacturing.
3.3D Application in Teaching Education
Creative education is also becoming more and more respected in school teaching, and is something we are now committed to promoting.
In our contact with a number of teacher-users, we learned that the application and innovation of 3D printing in teaching, indeed effectively increase the initiative and enthusiasm of students to learn, and through the image of the three-dimensional display of the children's understanding of theoretical knowledge and the establishment of graphic thinking. Effectively develop children's creativity and imagination.
3D printing to bring changes to education, is conducive to the real implementation of quality education, while solving the previous fill-in-the-blank type of teaching, really let the children understand the knowledge, the use of knowledge.
4. Film and animation industry
In addition, the use of 3D printing in animation, movie scenes, special effects is also more common. Realistic scene effects, while facilitating fast and low-cost scene construction.
The above are some examples of industries where 3D printing has many applications.
In the future, 3D printing will be used in more fields, more research and practical applications. Perhaps, there are many people who have not really understood 3D printing, and there are many people who are confused about the future of 3D printing.
But it is undeniable that 3D printing combined with various applications has gradually benefited our lives. After all, the technology is still in the hands of people, how to effectively and practically use it, as well as use it to create a more convenient and better life, but also lies in the industry everyone's efforts.
