Panorama of 3D printing materials industry

 

3D printing materials are an indispensable part of the 3D printing industry, and the technical level of 3D printing materials directly affects the development of the 3D printing industry. In recent years, the national level has paid more attention to my country's 3D printing materials industry, and a relatively mature industrial chain has basically formed.

 

The upstream of 3D printing materials is the supply of basic materials and preliminary processing, such as non-ferrous metal industry, rubber processing industry, plastic processing industry, ceramic processing industry, etc., to provide 3D printing materials with standard raw materials.

 

The midstream industry is the most important link in the 3D printing material industry chain. Raw materials are processed through various technical means to make them into 3D printing materials that meet 3D printing standards. The current mainstream 3D printing materials include metal powder materials and photosensitive resins. Materials, light-curable resin materials, biological materials, engineering plastic materials and non-metallic materials, etc.

 

The downstream industry is 3D printing manufacturing. With the advancement of technology, 3D printing manufacturing application scenarios have become more and more extensive, and are used in construction machinery, aerospace, biomedicine, automobile manufacturing and other fields.

 

3D printing technology was first applied to the rapid manufacturing of various prototypes, so it was also called Rapid Prototyping (RP) in the early days. Due to the limitation of material types in the early 3D printing technology, most of the organic polymer materials were used, and their mechanical and chemical properties were mostly difficult to meet the needs of practical applications.

 

With the development of material technology and equipment technology, the desire to apply this technology to the manufacture of terminal parts is becoming more and more urgent. Therefore,
