3D printing belongs to the category of rapid prototyping, that is, the manufacturing of product prototypes for enterprises before the production of formal products, also known as hand plates in the industry. Therefore, the 3D printing molding process at this stage is a complementary way to exist with the traditional manufacturing process, and it will take time to become a mainstream manufacturing technology. However, we should believe that the human pursuit of technology is unlimited, and with the continuous progress of 3D printing equipment and printing materials, 3D printing technology will be more and more widely used.
1. Unlimited design space.
For geometrically complex items (such as items with a very complex topology or cavity structure inside), the traditional manufacturing process cannot be processed, and the items need to be decomposed and reassembled respectively. 3D printing breaks the object down into layers of 2D areas, so processing arbitrarily complex objects is no problem, and the processing accuracy is only determined by the smallest particle of material that the printer can output. This is the biggest advantage 3D printing brings us, allowing designers to design arbitrary complex geometric shapes, design space is unlimited. It is this advantage that gives us a large number of problems to solve in geometric design and optimization, which will be detailed later.
2. Skill-free manufacturing. Traditional manufacturing process equipment is large and expensive, requiring a high level of skill to operate. 3D printers (such as FDM 3D printers) are small and cheap, some have entered the home, easy to use; In contrast to expensive casting molds, 3D printing only requires a digital file to be molded. Therefore, through 3D printing, the personalized design and customization of the product can be easily achieved, which greatly reduces the development time of the product. This advantage gives us non-mechanical professional researchers but also can carry out related geometry, structure, materials, and other aspects of research, greatly deepening and expanding the relevant research problems in manufacturing. Also, we have skillful process engineers and workers team to realize clients' ideas. welcome to send us messages.
3. Unlimited combination of materials. Multi-nozzle 3D printers can print a variety of materials in combination. By stacking and combining materials, printed items have physical and mechanical properties that are different from those of a single material. Therefore, through the combination of different materials, "new materials" with different properties can be produced. This advantage provides us with the ability to control the physical, mechanical, and structural properties of goods by controlling the distribution of materials, thereby producing a variety of goods and increasing the flexibility of products.
Through the combination of rapid automatic forming hardware system and CAD software model, products with complex shapes can be manufactured, which greatly shortens the design and production cycle of products and greatly reduces the production cost. The three most valued advantages of 3D printing technology are accelerating the product development process, providing personalized and customized products, and increasing the flexibility of production. From the perspective of the forming process, 3D printing breaks through the traditional forming method, without first making molds and mechanical processing.
