What Traditional Molds Cannot Handle, Please Hand it over to a 3D Printer

3D printing is a rapidly developing emerging technology in the manufacturing industry, known as the "manufacturing technology with industrial revolution significance". The China 3D Printing Research Institute is located in the Future Network Town in Nanjing. In the exhibition hall of the research institute, numerous 3D printed products were displayed, and the staff introduced them to Director Xu and many visitors one by one. The human body model made after scanning the human body is not only lifelike and lifelike, but also costs only a few hundred yuan. 3D printed medical supplies such as bones, joints, and dental brackets can be customized according to each patient's physical characteristics, creating products that fit the human body perfectly. There is also an aircraft accessory in the exhibition hall. A company has used molds to make it more than 30 times, but none of them meet the requirements. In the end, only the 3D printed product is very qualified.

It is reported that compared to the production of molds in the same batch, the advantage of 3D printing lies in personalization and refinement. Taking a lampshade that can be opened and closed in the exhibition hall as an example, it can bloom and close like a flower to control the brightness of the light, and its design is very beautiful. The staff explained, "If molds are used, it is difficult to produce. But with 3D printing technology, designers only need to input the 3D design into the printer, and the 3D printer can produce it
