3D printing needs to continuously break through towards "fast", "refined", and "new"

According to China Economic Net, 3D printing technology is leading the transformation of the manufacturing industry in the tide of the times, depicting the future blueprint of personalized customization and intelligent mass production.
In recent years, China's 3D printing industry has become a key force for national industrial upgrading and digital transformation due to its rapidly growing industrial scale and technological strength. However, market fluctuations and fierce competition have also caused the 3D printing industry to encounter bumps on its growth path.
So, standing at the crossroads of technological innovation and market adaptation, and innovation and economic transformation, how can China's 3D printing achieve high-quality development?
Firstly, facing the challenge of market fragmentation. Fragmentation refers to the phenomenon of scattered resources, insufficient synergy in the industrial chain, and uneven competitiveness of enterprises in the market. In the global 3D printing market in 2024, there will be frequent incidents of delisting, bankruptcy, and mergers and acquisitions, resulting in severe market fluctuations. The domestic market is rapidly rising, but it is also facing the challenge of "fragmentation". In this regard, leading domestic enterprises can leverage mergers and acquisitions, alliances to integrate resources, and promote the enhancement of core competitiveness. At the same time, various regions should provide a better environment for the growth of small and medium-sized innovative enterprises, promote the "big leading small" model, and form a clustering effect.
Secondly, solve the problem of "high cost". The high cost of materials and equipment for 3D printing is a major challenge for the survival of enterprises. In the field of high precision, the price of some equipment can even reach 100000 yuan or even millions of yuan per unit, which is difficult for most small and medium-sized enterprises to afford.
In this regard, domestic 3D printing companies need to seek change through innovation, optimize printing settings by reasonably increasing layer height, filling density, and other methods, seek technological breakthroughs, and reduce raw material and equipment costs. At the same time, enterprises should improve the printing speed and accuracy of their equipment.
Finally, continue to break through towards "fast", "refined", and "new". In some fields, the speed of 3D printing still needs to be improved. Enterprises can improve printing speed by optimizing algorithms, intelligent segmentation, and other aspects to meet the needs of large-scale production. In addition to playing a role in small batch production, repair and replacement of components, 3D printing enterprises should also focus on high value-added areas, innovate models and products, and constantly discover better 3D printing application scenarios.
Nowadays, China's 3D printing industry is not only a pioneer in technological innovation, but also an important driving force for the upgrading of various industries. We look forward to the continuous exploration and growth of China's 3D printing industry, making greater contributions to the high-quality development of various industries in China. (Jiali)
