3d printing product
3D printing technology is the buzzword of the moment is the IT and manufacturing industry. In 2013, Taiwan flat panel display exhibition, 4K2K 3D printers and a highlight of the big size TV, recently, Japan home appliance giant Matsushita also reported plans to use 3D printer to produce home appliances news;
There are media-d printing technique referred to as the third industrial revolution.
But according to Taiwan, the United Evening News reported, big guy, Hon Hai Chairman Terry GOU, hold the opposite view. He said: "if it really is a (helpful), so my ' Guo ' word write upside down. ”
Application of 3D printers can be any industry, as long as these industries need to model and prototype. Israel Objet argues that 3D printers require more industries, including Government, aerospace and defense, medical equipment, high technology, education, and industry.
As a injection mold maker, we thinkd the 3D printing is just the mold industry supplement , and hard to replace the mold with in near 10 years. 3d printing is a new thing and everyone think it’s
out of my expectation and fantastic, but there are also many limitation to be applied for industrial and mass production ,such as injection molding;
Below are some concerns of the 3d printing:
First, is the price:
Mold prices are a bit high, but high-precision 3D printers seems more expensive, Tiger Balm was certainly not professional but higher than the acceptable range, like the iAudio C2 GS3 for listening to music and listen to the song, than sound quality than price, practicality, high and low State, like military-style 3D printer prices are bruising now!
Secondly is efficiency:
Phase for current very mature of mold industry, 3D printer see not to efficiency of concept, like phone Hou shell, a Deputy plastic mold within minutes Bell on can out both even four a, FPC rushed tablets a hours do hundreds of tablets, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Shanghai area as long as machine kept running has been has single do can comparable to printed notes machine, injection machine is you printed notes machine this sentence words not white; 3D printer cannot compare the injection machine in this aspect.
Third is the raw materials:
3D printer is actually the most difficult issue is the raw material, consumables is said to be quite terrible, when compared with mold design optimization, and now plastic mould hot runner recovery application to save supplies. Bar molds should something about Foxconn, and really admire the company, no profit is not the advancement of technology
Fourth is the accuracy:
Now mold is generally the accuracy can reach about 0.002 mm, also has other, more high-precision, but on the basis of cost and the need also depends, 3D printers have not completely matured or some do not compare, d printer I am looking forward to the future glory, reportedly now 3D printer is very unstable, it is not obvious that 8225Q must be black!
Fifth is the scale:
First industry specializing in surgery, plastic injection mold or die casting mold can grow to is now is beyond my imagination, especially Germany Japan mold the present situation as well as others on the formation of mould in the pursuit of philosophy became a culture. Badminton ten dollars only, requires speed, distance, angle has a standard. Scale formed by powerful interests like pyramids, maybe one day the 3D printer will more than mold, but the mold is still there, even if there were no you need a long time, or I'll go to work Ah!
Summarize, mold is mold, 3D printing is still the 3D printer, has its self advantages. 3D printers are sure to be in the design prototype, DIY, some small civilian for a good performance, some things don't need much in the military but also had a strong showing of high precision, mold, after all, have great limitations. Saw a lot of anime fans the first thought is to hand, if-d printer of the future development of very mature, so as long as the hands to do 3D data modeling diagram can. I am most looking forward to in medicine, people's livelihood, for life is the most practical of services performed;
But everything is possible, With the development of science and technology, human being maybe don’t need mold any more, because people can print anything what they want ,they can print the unique product designed by themselves ,they don’t need buy the goods produced by mold from mass production, just like we cannot imagine a decade ago and now mobile phones, computer strong enough to do that?
