Become a powerful tool for high-end manufacturing
2022Year10month, one unit long17Meters, width17Meters, height12meters of concrete3DThe printer’s launch ceremony was held at China’s Three Gorges University. Once the printer is turned on, the large movable nozzle on the shelf sprays the concrete in the direction of the wall to “print”, just like the cream decoration when making a paper. cake, layer by layer, precise and fast…
“As long as there are architectural drawings, based on digital architectural design methods and automatic robot control systems, through concrete3DThe printer can print the ideal house. “Presented by Li Yangbo, Associate Professor at the School of Water Conservation and Environment, Three Gorges University of China.
Not only in the field of infrastructure, but also in the field of high-end manufacturing,3DPrinting has already been put into practice. Take the Beijing Winter Olympics as an example. At the opening ceremony, the idea of the “light fire” of lighting the main torch platform was unforgettable. Even though the “micro-fire” is small, it does not lack technological elements: the external streamer, the internal streamer and the combustion system of the main torch are all made of3DMade with printing technology. In addition, the spikes of the running shoes worn by Chinese bobsleigh athletes are also made of titanium alloy.3DPrinted.
“3DPrinting is a popular technology in the manufacturing industry with a wide range of applications. This is a “new tool” for high-end manufacturing. It can print not only non-metallic materials such as plastics and ceramics, but also metal materials such as steel, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys and high-temperature alloys. The forming size ranges from micro-nano components to micro-nano components.10Large-scale aerospace structural parts larger than one meter provide enormous opportunities for the transformation, modernization and development of the manufacturing industry. ” said Lu Bingheng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor at Xi’an Jiaotong University.
Technology allows overtaking in turns
From materials to technical means,3DThe field of printing has become a “new plateau” for Chinese technological innovation. Lu Bingheng believes that information technology is changing every day.3DPrinting technology, under computer control, can print a variety of materials and shapes, bringing significant changes to industrial production and daily life.
metal3DIn the field of printing, Wang Huaming, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and his team achieved technological breakthrough after years of tireless efforts.2005Year6In March, thanks to the efforts of Wang Huaming’s team, the first3DThe small parts printed in titanium alloy were loaded onto the plane, thereby taking the metal3DAn iconic milestone in printing technology.2009In 2016, Wang Huaming and his team used3DPrinting technology creates domestically produced large planeC919The overall window frame of the main windshield made of titanium alloy on the nose of the machine The weight of this “big guy” is approx.20Jin, an adult can easily carry it, and China has become the first country to break through this technology.
under3DIn terms of printing technology, China has reached the global advanced level in manufacturing large and complex key metal components for aircraft, rockets and other major equipment.
Performance of application units is eye-catching
3DPrinting, also known as additive manufacturing, constructs objects by printing specialized materials layer by layer based on digital model files. As leading technology in cutting-edge fields,3DPrinting technology has received a lot of political support.
2022Year8In March, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the first list of typical application scenarios for additive manufacturing, covering industry, medical care, construction, culture and others domains.36A typical application scenario. Most of the equipment technology providers on the list are unique in their respective fields. For example, Blite is a leader in the field of metal additive manufacturing for aerospace, and Hanbang Technology promotes metal additive manufacturing.3DPrinting changes traditional manufacturing industry, Nanjing Chenglian focuses on dentistry3DPrinting… application units also play a leading role in different fields, such as the three major aeronautical and aerospace groups in3DLeading the way in the application of printing technology, Peking University Third Hospital, Tangdu Hospital, etc.3DPrinting applications have attracted a lot of attention and Peak Sports has3DOutstanding performance in printing.
3DPrinting technology talent has also become a new nationally recognized profession.2022Year6In March, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security released a batch of new career information, covering engineering and technical personnel engaged in additive manufacturing technology, equipment, research and product development , design and application of advice. Furthermore, more and more Chinese3DPrinter brands launch into overseas markets, highlighting Chinese brands’ global influence3DConfidence in the printing market.
