The hottest realistic consideration of 3D printing

Realistic consideration of the scale of 10 billion 3D printing in the next three years

the 2013 World 3D printing technology industry conference, which needs to cooperate with electronic extension measurement, was held recently. Luo Jun, Secretary General of China 3D printing technology industry alliance, believed at the meeting that the scale of China's 3D printing technology market could reach nearly 10 billion yuan in the next three years. In 2012, the global 3D printing market was about $2.2 billion, an increase of 28.6% over 2011. Obviously, the agency's forecast for the global growth of 3D printing is more conservative

Shangpu consulting electronics industry analysts believe that it is more rational to conduct the necessary status analysis before blindly pursuing the market scale similar to photovoltaic growth and avoiding using sharp and hard tools for liquidation

first, the lack of innovation will restrict the development of 3D printing demand in China. At present, processing and manufacturing are still the mainstay of China's manufacturing industry, and Anmin is full of pride, while product creativity and innovation are not achieved overnight. There are also contradictions between large-scale and seeking technological innovation. In the photovoltaic industry chain, high-purity silicon and high cell conversion efficiency were once the pain points of Chinese photovoltaic enterprises. Today's 3D printing faces similar problems

secondly, in terms of 3D printing equipment manufacturing, China started not late. However, there is still a considerable gap between China's 3D printing equipment and the international water Jinan gold test needle in terms of the printing accuracy and reliability of the equipment. What restricts the development is that the core components of 3D printing equipment are still dependent on imports

according to the "China commercial printer market analysis and Investment Value Research Report" released by Shangpu consulting, 3D printing is currently very small, and there are less than 100 scientific research institutions and upstream and downstream enterprises (including materials, software development and commercial operation) engaged in 3D printing technology research and development and production and manufacturing in the world; There are more than 40 upstream and downstream enterprises and scientific research institutions engaged in 3D printing technology in China. 3D printing has broad prospects, but how to avoid photovoltaic overcapacity and ensure high-quality innovation while ensuring rapid development is also an issue that 3D printing enterprises always need to pay attention to. The current situation in Europe and the United States is that there is news that Dutch architects plan to build a villa with a 3D printer, which will be completed next year; An American company plans to provide a 3D printer for the international space station next year to print food for astronauts; In contrast, the 3D printing industry in China has lagged behind in technology for more than 30 years; The products are still in the most elementary parts, such as printing dolls. Therefore, at this stage, whether China's 3D printing can break through the bottleneck and enter the great development is the key
