What fields can 3d printing technology be used in?

Construction industry

Construction industry is one of the main battlefield of 3d printing in the future. Because 3d printing can save a lot of labor and material resources. Now 3d printing has been successfully applied in the construction industry, the most common is to make building models. The production of these building models, in the past need to spend a lot of financial resources and manpower to produce. Because the building model is relatively small, and requires a rigorous structure. Therefore, in the past, architectural models were usually more expensive, and the production cycle was also longer. Now 3d printing technology has been successfully applied in the model production, only need to draw the model drawings in the computer, directly imported into the 3d printing machine can directly get the model. These models are cheap, the production cycle is also relatively short, by the construction industry personnel favorite.

Medical field

In the medical field, now people have begun to gradually explore the application of 3d printing technology. Now there are hospitals have successfully utilized 3d printing technology to print titanium alloy prosthetic limbs for patients to use. In the medical field now, people have begun to accept 3d printing technology, at this stage can see a lot of utilization of 3d printing out of human joints. The use of these technologies allows more patients to be saved, but also reduces the patient's expenditure on medical treatment. At this stage, there are already hospitals and related research institutions to set up research institutes, for example, in Shaanxi province has appeared the first three d medical research and application center with Xi'an Jiaotong University.

Automotive industry

The traditional automotive industry requires a large number of parts and components, which in turn need to be imported from different countries. As a result, automobiles have spawned many related industries and manufacturing. But now the traditional automobile cost is too high, facing more fierce competition. 3d technology appears, gives the automobile industry a major development direction. There are related car companies to further reduce the cost of car manufacturing, reduce cross-border assembly and procurement links. Began to try and research independently three d printing, now there have been related car companies to use 3d printing technology, manufacturing some key parts, so as to achieve more accurate than the traditional more precise and accurate size. A few years ago, the world's first 3d printing car was born in the United States, his appearance to the whole industry set off a wave of fever, the future of the automotive industry, it is likely to be occupied by 3d printing technology.
