In the past two years, the development of the additive manufacturing industry has risen to the national strategic level. Documents such as “Made in China 2025†and “National Action Plan for the Development of Additive Manufacturing Industries (2015~2016)†have been issued. The additive manufacturing industry has developed rapidly. Vital science and technology companies are booming.
In spite of this, due to the increase in the initial stage of development of the manufacturing industry, it still exhibits a low degree of scale. Experts frankly stated that imported equipment is now "attacking" the Chinese market. Taking metal printing equipment as an example, foreign countries have implemented bundled sales of materials, software, equipment, and processes. China must accelerate the development of core technologies and original technologies and build its own innovation chain and industrial chain.
Good market prospects
According to a McKinsey report, 12 technologies that have a disruptive impact on human life, additive manufacturing ranks ninth, before new materials and shale gas, and it is predicted that by 2030, additive manufacturing will be achieved worldwide. The market size of about 1 trillion US dollars. In 2015, the report moved the process forward again and it is believed that by 2020, that is, three years later, the global market for additive manufacturing will be worth US$550 billion.
The McKinsey report is not sensational. Lu Pingheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Center, uses “four and a half†to summarize the future market prospects of additive manufacturing. He said that more than half of the product value in the future is designed; more than half of the production is customized; more than half of the production model is crowdsourced; more than half of the innovations are made by the makers. Additive manufacturing is a subversive technology that leads the development of the manufacturing industry. It is the most suitable technology to support design innovation, customized production, innovation and crowdsourcing. â€
"More importantly, additive manufacturing is a rare technology that China has synchronized with the international community. At present, China's research in 3D printing is at the forefront of the world." Lu Bingheng said that at present, China is relying on its own development of large-scale metal 3D printing equipment. The aircraft has a leading position in the application of large load-bearing parts. It plays the role of an emergency team in the research and development of military aircraft and large aircraft. Moreover, titanium alloy large-scale structural parts have been applied to the development of aircraft landing gear and C919.
The reporter was informed that in terms of application, the installed capacity of China's industrial-grade equipment ranks fourth in the world, but the commercialized equipment for metal printing is still relatively weak, and it mainly relies on imports. However, according to academician Lu Bingheng, the overall goal of China's additive manufacturing industry is to achieve the second largest installed capacity in the world and the third highest in the world in terms of equipment production and sales within five years; the world’s number one in terms of installed capacity, core devices and original technologies, and equipment sales are the second largest in the world in 10 years In 2035, "Made in China 2025" was achieved.
Accelerated industrial development
According to statistics, the average growth rate of the additive manufacturing market in the past three years was 33.8%, the global market size in 2016 was about US$6 billion, and the Chinese market was about 8 billion RMB, accounting for 19.6% of the global market, while in 2012 only 7% indicates that China's industrial development rate is faster than the world average.
The development of Xi'an Platinum Laser Forming Technology Co., Ltd. is the epitome of the rapid development of 3D printing technology. The company was established in 2011. Its sales revenue exceeded 100 million yuan in 2014, 180 million yuan in 2015, and 230 million yuan in 2016.
Jia Xin, general manager of Platinum Elite, told reporters that in the first half of 2017, it had completed the volume for the whole of last year, and it is expected to be close to 300 million yuan this year. He explained that with the increase in market maturity during the past two years, the number of enterprises involved in the rapid increase, the cost of equipment in the 3D printing industry is rapidly falling, resulting in the company's profits in equipment sales have declined, but in the service area because of customers The degree of recognition increases and the growth rate is very fast. "Especially in processing and manufacturing a product, our order volume has doubled."
The Weinan 3D printing industry cultivation base in Shaanxi Province, under the support of the local government, transformed the advantages of 3D printing technology into industrial advantages, and promoted the transformation and transformation of traditional industries to achieve cluster development.
Jiang Tong, director of Weinan 3D Printing Industry Development Base, said that Gaonan High-tech Zone can focus on the concept of “3D printing+†industry incubation. It is not simply to develop 3D printing industry, but to develop and produce 3D printing equipment and 3D printed metal materials. 3D printing application talent training as the starting point, take the initiative to 3D printing technology rooted in the local leading industries, focusing on the implementation of 3D printing industrialization demonstration applications, accelerate the combination of 3D printing and traditional industries, implementation of 3D printing + aviation, automotive, medical, text A series of 3D printing + industry models such as creation, foundry, education, etc., with the advantage of 3D printing technology, solve the technical difficulties and pain points of traditional industries, transform and upgrade traditional industries, and introduce and incubate various types of small and medium-sized technology companies.
According to statistics, as of May 2017, there were 61 companies in the 3D Printing Park in Longnan, and more than 50 projects such as 3D molds, 3D medical devices, 3D industrial machines, 3D materials, and 3D Wenchuang are also on reserve. It is expected that by the end of the year, there will be more than 100 companies.
Activate the innovation chain and industrial chain
Despite the accelerated development of the additive manufacturing industry in China, the industry is still in its early stages of development and still exhibits a low degree of scale. The lack of technology maturity, high application costs, and narrow application scope have caused the industry to appear “small, scattered, and weak†as a whole. Although many companies have started to engage in the area of ​​additive manufacturing, they lack the leading enterprises. Driven, the industry is smaller.
Academician Lu Bingheng frankly stated that additive manufacturing is one of the key technologies for the industrial revolution in the future and development has yet to be accelerated because 3D printing technology is in the period of a technology blowout, the start of the industry, and the company's “staking a ride†period.
The huge market demand can drive the development of a technology and an equipment field. It must be protected and fully utilized to guide and support our equipment manufacturing. Lu Bingheng said that imported equipment is now "attacking" the Chinese market. Metal printing equipment, foreign countries are the implementation of materials, software, equipment, technology integration bundled sales, Chinese companies must develop core technologies and original technology, build their own innovation chain and industrial chain.
According to industry insiders, for the current domestic 3D printing industry, the degree of technology research and development has been completely ahead of industrial applications, and many of the technical achievements have only stayed in the laboratory stage. The main reasons for this problem are: First, due to various standards and standards. Inadequate entry qualifications, there are invisible barriers to entry; followed by scientific institutions, companies do not have economies of scale, in the state of singles, in the industry negotiations, the lack of discourse power, at a disadvantage; the final application of the company to the new There is little understanding of technology and new industries. There are incomprehensible or misunderstood, and the pace of application of technology is slow.
Zhao Jiyuan, general manager of Xi'an Additive Manufacturing National Research Institute Co., Ltd., said that resources are limited and cost-effective. The additive manufacturing industry is in a period of vigorous growth. Various types of scientific research, industry, and application enterprises, institutions and organizations have invested a lot of manpower, financial resources and material resources. In various developments, how to coordinate and optimize the allocation of various types of resources to avoid duplication of research and development and to avoid low-end industrial aggregation is one of the core issues that determine the orderly development of the 3D printing industry. The marketization of the value and profit requirements, the uncertainty of the cost, cycle and risk of scientific research work, and the coordination of the contradiction between the two are the second core issues.
Zhao Jiyuan believes that, from the current point of view, to solve the above problems, it is necessary to speed up the construction of access qualification standards through government guidance. At the same time, it supports and encourages national-level innovation platforms to integrate industry resources, and establishes a wider industry innovation and self-discipline organization. , Accelerate the technical communication between additive manufacturing and various industries so that we can quickly promote the development of the industry.
Developing 3D Printing China to Create Its Own Innovation Chain and Industrial Chain
The manufacturing method of additive manufacturing (commonly known as 3D printing) is gradually moving from concept to industrial practice. Its wide range of applications leads to infinite association with its future market space, and is even hailed as the third industrial revolution. technology.
