3D Printing Advantage

Infinite design possibilities: 3D printing technology allows designers to break through the limitations of traditional manufacturing methods and create objects of almost any shape and structure.

Customized production: From personalized accessories to customized medical devices, 3D printing technology can be customized according to specific needs to meet the demands of personalized markets.

Rapid prototyping: Compared to traditional manufacturing methods, 3D printing can quickly transform designs into physical prototypes, greatly shortening the product development cycle.

Easy to iterate: Designers can print and modify prototypes multiple times in a short amount of time, thus quickly optimizing product design.

Multi material selection: 3D printing supports printing of various materials, including plastic, metal, ceramics, etc., providing designers with a rich space for material selection.

Material innovation: With the advancement of technology, new types of 3D printing materials continue to emerge, providing more possibilities for applications in various fields.

Reduce waste: 3D printing technology stacks materials layer by layer as needed, reducing waste and wastage in the production process.

Recyclable: Some 3D printing materials support recycling and reuse, which helps achieve sustainable development.

Advantages of small batch production: For small batch or customized products, 3D printing can reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.

3D Printing Applications

Rapid prototyping: While traditional manufacturing methods typically take weeks or even months to prototype, 3D printing can accomplish the same task in a matter of hours to days. This allows companies to quickly test and modify designs, shortening product development cycles.

Low-volume production: For some custom products, 3D printing offers a more cost-effective solution than traditional mold manufacturing. For example, some parts on high-end cars or airplanes often need to be personalized to the customer’s needs, and 3D printing can do these tasks cost-effectively.

3D printing of conformal cooling line can be uniformly arranged according to the shape of the parts, especially by increasing the density of cooling line in the heat accumulation area, ensuring temperature balance in the mold cavity, improving product yield, and effectively shortening the cooling cycle, thereby improving production efficiency. Compared with traditional cooling line, 3D conformal cooling line can reduce cooling time by 20% to 80% and deformation by 15% to 90%.

Customized medical devices: While traditional medical devices tend to be manufactured in a standardized manner, 3D printing can be customized to each patient’s physical characteristics.

Lightweight design: With 3D printing, engineers can design parts with complex internal structures that reduce the use of material while maintaining strength. This is very important for aerospace vehicles, as every gram of weight saved can result in significant fuel savings and costs.

Main steps of 3D printing 

1.3D Model Design: Design a three-dimensional model of the target object using CAD software. This design can be newly created or obtained by scanning physical objects.

2.File Format Conversion: After completing the design, the 3D model will be converted into an STL (Standard Tessellation Language) file, which can represent the surface of the object in the form of a triangular mesh for the printer to understand and parse the model.

3.Slicing Processing: The printer control software will “slice” the STL file, decomposing the entire model into layers of planes. These planes will be used to guide the printer to print each part of the object layer by layer.

4.Printing Process: During the printing process, the printer stacks materials (such as plastic, metal, resin, etc.) layer by layer according to the sliced layer information until the entire object is constructed. The thickness of each layer of material is usually very thin (e.g. 0.1 millimeters), allowing for very high precision in details.

5.Post Processing: Some 3D printed items may require post-processing steps after printing, such as polishing, coloring, cleaning, or heating, to improve surface quality and mechanical strength.
