The 3D printing industry chain is mainly divided into three parts: upstream raw materials and basic accessories, midstream 3D printing consumables and 3D printing equipment R & D and manufacturing, downstream 3D printing services and applications. Among them, industrial-grade metal 3D printing equipment is the key direction for future development. China's 3D printing industry chain representative enterprises are distributed in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui and other regions, China's 3D printing industry agglomeration trend is obvious.
3D Printing Industry Chain Panorama: Industrial Metal 3D Printing Equipment is the Key Direction for Future Development
The upstream of the 3D printing industry chain is the raw materials and basic accessories, and the raw materials are divided into two major categories: metal-specific materials and non-metallic-specific materials, which are the raw materials for the basic accessories and 3D printing supplies. Basic accessories include core components (motherboards, galvanometer systems, chips, electron beam guns, lasers, DLP light engines, etc.) and auxiliary operating systems (3D scanners, 3D modeling software, print control software and slicing software, etc.);
Midstream for the R & D and manufacturing of 3D printing consumables (metal powders, photosensitive resins, engineering plastics, ceramics, biomaterials, etc.) and 3D printing equipment.
Downstream for the 3D printing services and applications, 3D printing main application scenarios in aerospace, mold casting, biomedical, automotive, military and other fields.
From the point of view of China's 3D printing market scale, compared with printing supplies and printing services, 3D printing equipment still occupies a dominant position. The global 3D printing market is shifting from plastic printing to metal printing. Plastics are suitable for prototypes and certain final parts, but 3D printers should target the trillion-dollar metal parts manufacturing market, and industrial-grade metal 3D printing equipment is the future focus of the 3D printing industry.
Currently, China's domestic production of metal 3D printers representative companies include Platinum Lite, Xinsong Robotics, Guangyunda, Xianlin 3D, Jiayi 3D, Changlang 3D, Yongnian Laser, Zhongrui Technology, YiGa 3D, Fenghua ZhuoLi, ChuangWang 3D, YingPu 3D, LeiJia additive materials and so on.
3D printing industry chain regional heat map: China's 3D printing industry agglomeration situation is obvious
From the regional distribution of 3D printing industry chain representative enterprises, China's 3D printing industry chain representative enterprises are distributed in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui and other regions, China's 3D printing industry agglomeration situation is obvious.
From the regional distribution point of view, China's 3D printing industry agglomeration trend is obvious, has basically formed to the Bohai Rim, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta as the core, to the central and western parts of the industry as a link to the spatial development pattern. Among them, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other provinces gathered the most representative enterprises of the 3D printing industry, the industry is developing faster.
At present, China's 3D printing industry chain representative enterprises are Platinum Lite, Huashu Hi-Tech, Luen Thai Technology, Casting Gold, Chujiang New Material, Yellow River Cyclone, Xinsong Robotics, Guangyunda, Chuangxin Laser, Da Nu Laser, Yi Shang Show, Xianlin 3D, JiaYi 3D, Changlang 3D, Yongnian Laser, Zhongrui Technology, Yijia 3D, Fenghua ZhuoLi, ChuangWu 3D, YingPu 3D, HaiZheng Biological and so on.
