Top Ten Development Trends of 3D Printing Industry in 2019
2018 is over, the 3D printing industry is still accumulating, and it has experienced a turbulent year. I think this state may change next, and jointly look forward to the industry development trend in 2019:
1, the term "3D printing" will gradually fade, and even disappear in the future, because this emerging manufacturing technology will eventually become a part of digital manufacturing and digital economy combined with artificial intelligence, VR, big data, Internet +, blockchain, etc. Become the core foundation.
2, 3D printing services will quickly differentiate into two directions, one is specialized, deep combined with the industry to provide efficient solutions; First, the scale, the number of equipment, mass production efficiency is extremely high. Because only then can we survive.
3, automation, Internet +. This requires the direction of equipment provider research and development to focus on printing one-stop products, especially the automation of post-processing, which is the key to the success of equipment manufacturers; in addition, the entire industry chain will have deep integration with the Internet, including 3D printing software vendors, service providers, Equipment supplier, material supplier, etc. High efficiency, low cost and individuality are important factors in building a future factory.
4, metal 3D printing technology broke. There are two levels here. One is that the global 3D printing giant will introduce fast metal 3D printing technology, which will solve the problem that metal 3D printing is too slow. Second, the domestic 3D printing faucet will quickly follow up to introduce more mature domestic 3D printing equipment, which will solve the problem of metal 3D printing is too expensive. In short, metal 3D printing in 2019 will be cheaper and more efficient, which has a great impact on the industry.
5. Batch production trends. 3D printing technology currently solves the problem of personalized customization, and the core requirement of traditional manufacturing is mass production of individuality, which puts higher requirements on technical iteration. In fact, global equipment manufacturers are setting batch production as The next research and development goal.
6, the variety and deepening of printed materials. This is determined by the needs of the end customers. In the past, it was mainly proofing and product verification. Now it is mainly for finished products and mass production. Therefore, customers have precise requirements for the physical and chemical properties of printed parts. Note that including future 4D or even 5D printing requirements for material changes.
7. Talents are more professional. Technological change and industry development will eliminate a large number of unsuitable and speculative people, leaving more professional talents. Many universities at home and abroad have also added 3D printing related majors, which will continuously cultivate young and energetic talents for the 3D printing industry and provide intellectual security for the development of the industry.
8. Gradual recognition of capital. As the consumer Internet dividend subsides, capital will gradually calm down. From a mental point of view, it will do more value investment; from the trend point of view, To B is indeed the trend of the times, and the 3D printing industry occupies the most core advantages. Perhaps 2019 is the first year of investment in the 3D printing industry.
9. Global competition pattern. This is a problem that most 3D printing companies in China are extremely neglected. Even a small service provider will be affected by globalization, such as price and customers. The Sino-US trade war will in fact accelerate the globalization of domestic enterprises and face competition from foreign companies earlier, so it is very important to have a global vision and pattern.
10. Speed up the process of shuffling. As far as the current trend is concerned, in 2019, more than half of the existing 3D printing companies may be eliminated, completely changing the state of the domestic 3D printing industry, or failing, transforming, and merging, and it is inevitable to go to a professional or large-scale road, but At the same time, there will be strong traditional enterprises, which means that the threshold of the 3D printing industry will be higher and higher.
