3D Printing

Application field

3D printing is usually achieved using digital technology material printers. It is often used to make models in the fields of mold manufacturing, industrial design etc., and is gradually used for the direct manufacturing of some products. There are already parts printed using this technology. The technology has applications in the jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries.

Plastic 3D Printing

Plastic 3D printing is a kind of 3D printing , partial plastic 3D printing technologies(e.g. SLS, FDM) can also print metal parts , the characteristics of plastic 3D printing are following :

1. Ability to print large-sized parts

2. The cost of using plastic 3D printing is low

3. Compared with traditional injection molding, it is more efficient

4. Plastic 3D printing materials are suitable for many fields

5. Plastic 3D printing is the perfect solution for the prototyping process

6. Use plastic 3D printing materials for small batch production

7. Plastic 3D printing materials can provide a variety of surface treatment possibilities

Metal 3D Printing

Metal 3D printing is a printing technology specially developed for metal parts after plastic 3D printing, The features of metal 3D printing technology are listed as below：

1) High precision. At present, the accuracy of metal 3D printing equipment can basically be controlled below 0.05mm.

2) The cycle is short. Metal 3D printing does not require a mold making process, which greatly shortens the production time of the model.

3) Personalization is possible. Metal 3D printing has no limit to the number of models that can be printed, one or more can be made at the same cost.

4) Metal 3D printing systems can meet the needs of different fields.

5) The cost is relatively low. Although metal 3D printing systems and 3D printed metal materials are relatively expensive, if they are used to make personalized products, the production cost is relatively low.
