3 d printing technology to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of global manufacturing

"The fourth industrial revolution has come.For the global economy, no other than the manufacturing industry suffered a bigger change.To digital innovation investment company, will be off the competition."At hewlett-packard CEO duhem?Weschler, 3 d printing technology as a driver for the fourth time the important technology of the industrial revolution, will make $12 trillion global manufacturing radically change.

According to international data corp. IDC predicts that over the next five years, 3 d printing markets around the world will be, the compound annual growth rate of 22.3% growth in 2020 to $28.9 billion.

On August 24, HP and deloitte announced in its headquarters in silicon valley in the field of 3 d printing and digital manufacturing services to cooperate."Based on HP subversive 3 d printing, HP will with deloitte, focus on transformation, help customers to beat rivals in the new era."HP weschler mouth "weapon" is developed by the jet melting technology.

There has decades of 3 d printing, because have not been able to break through technical bottlenecks, can only be applied to the model and the small spare parts manufacturing.And more jet melting technology in printing high quality physical parts of up to 10 times faster at the same time, also implements the cost by half, for 3 d printing in all manufacturing industries of large-scale application provides a new possibility.The HP using multiple jet melting technology, so far the number of production parts in the first year has reached 500000 pieces.HP 3 d printing markets around the world for the year will be close to $6 billion, by 2021, the size of the market will be close to $20 billion.

The popularity of 3 d printing technology in manufacturing, key decided to the development of emerging materials.HP 3 d materials and advanced application timothy, vice President and general manager?Weber told reporters that although the plastic is still the dominant material, but as the technology forward, there will be more material into the 3 d printing market.HP 3 d printing team already has more than 100 engineers and technicians, is working on this.Moreover, HP also hope through the way of building an open platform, establish the combination of the ecological system of various materials.
