Editorial 3D printing technology is reshaping the competitive landscape of global manufacturing, in many areas of aerospace, geographic information, military, medical, art and design, and consumer electronics products have come in handy. In China, 3D printing overall technical level in the transition phase model making to direct manufacturing of parts, there is still much room for improvement, the urgent need to strengthen collaborative innovation, and further promote the development of 3D printing technology.

3D printing Research Institute in Beijing, Zhao human heart valve model holding a new vice president of 3D printing, to the "Economic Daily" reporter tells a related story true 3D printing applications: Traditionally a heart valve replacement surgery, general CT is done after the patient, according to a two-dimensional plane of the CT films, the doctor depends on the imagination, in my mind these stacked plan to determine the extent of damage and the need for surgical heart valve position to determine the patient's surgical program. However, once the judge allowed the patient suffers, doctors and patients are likely to cause conflicts. Now a Beijing hospital and 3D printing Institute cooperation, the patient's CT data to the Institute, will soon be able to get the medical data based on 3D printed model of heart valves, doctors use it to aid diagnosis, the accuracy rate has been greatly improve.

3D printing technology application in China, is making considerable progress.

Going practical application

3D printing is one of China's manufacturing industry to achieve upgrading core technologies, but also opens the personalized products manufacturing business model

Recently, in Shanghai at the 17th China International Industry Fair, 3D printing exhibits noticeable. For example, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics C919 nose exhibits is the main windshield frame using 3D printing technology, it is a "coaxial powder" technology, printing material made of titanium. In addition, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology exhibition of high-performance carbon fiber and aluminum joints 3D printing space indexable capture pole with 3D printing ......

3D printing, also known as increasing material manufacturing technology, is a paper-based to digital mode, using powdered metal, plastic and other materials may be bonding, by way of the printed layer by layer to construct objects of rapid prototyping technology, is manufacturing principles a major breakthrough. Chinese Academy of Engineering, rapid manufacturing Bingheng director of the National Engineering Research Center, said increasing material manufacturing and traditional and other material manufacturing and reduce material manufacturing tripod, complement each other. From manufacturing methods, the casting and forging welding in the manufacturing process is essentially the same weight, are "material and other manufacturing" has 3,000 years of history; as the motor of the invention, the car milling mill machine appears, through the material The cutting and removing meet the design shape, called "minus material manufacturing", more than 300 years of history; and to 3D printing as the representative of "increasing material manufacturing," made in 1984, in 1986 to achieve the prototype, only 30 years, is called "20 century's most revolutionary manufacturing technology."

In February 2015, led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued "national increase material manufacturing industry promotion plan (2015-2016)"; March, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang chaired a State Council executive meeting, the deployment of speeding up the implementation of the "Made in China 2025" . Increasing material manufacturing technology is one of China's manufacturing industry to achieve the core technology upgrade. China closely follow the trend of world science and technology, attention and overall development of 3D printing technology, "catch up" advanced countries.

Bingheng academician says, 3D printing "hot today, creating tomorrow." The future of manufacturing will be "advanced manufacturing + Internet + modern service industry" will show roughly a network service cloud platform: the public need to collect - create customer design -3D print design verification - Virtual Manufacturing - Production subcontractors - Things Distribution .

Thus, 3D printing also demonstrated a referendum innovative thoroughfare. In the mass start, the highly innovative contemporary, a passenger who designed some of the products, traditional manufacturing industries no way to achieve, or the cost is very high. The 3D printing from technical, cost, fast extent can support to make it a reality. It can be said, 3D printing technology opens up personalized products manufacturing business model.
