Keep an eye on China's three major outlets: 3D printing big data robot

After the publication of "Made in China 2025", domestic and foreign companies and think tanks have paid attention to it and researched it. After comparing "Made in China 2025", the US "Re-industrialization concept", Japan "Industrial Intelligence" and Germany "Industrial 4.0", they believe that the global advanced manufacturing industry is focusing on cutting-edge hot spots such as 3D printing, big data, and robots. In the process of implementing “Made in China 2025”, China needs to closely follow the hotspots and development paths of global manufacturing industries, guide enterprises to properly and appropriately adjust and adjust their development priorities, and make “Made in China 2025” competitive in similar global plans. Initiative.

3D printing application to segment industry

"In the final analysis, advanced manufacturing technology enables new design and new materials to be applied." Wei Bin, general manager of General Electric Research and Development Center in China, commented on 3D printing technology.

Recently, manufacturing alliances such as Europe and the United States have made a clear direction for the development of 3D printing segmentation industry. They have positioned the market demand for 3D printing technology mainly in the manufacture of medical and aircraft key widgets.

In response, the China Academy of Engineering report pointed out that 3D technology will promote intelligent production, intelligent processing and smart devices. China's 3D printing technology should have a greater role in wearable electronic devices, wearable devices, personalized surgical guides and some medical models.

3D technology is a technique for constructing objects by layer-by-layer printing based on digital model files using adhesive materials such as powdered metal or plastic. Despite the public eye and public concern in recent years, the 3D printing technology that was born in the 1980s has long emerged in the medical industry .

Kay Amy Francois, general manager of the Belgian Marais 3D Printing Technology Co., Ltd., said that in 2013 alone, the company printed 150,000 medical models, including personalized surgical guides and some medical models. More than 10 million people worldwide have started using customized 3D printed hearing aid products.

Wang Chengyu, a professor at the Engineering Research Center of the Department of Digital Medicine Education, Shanghai Jiaotong University, believes that individualization, precision, minimally invasiveness, and remoteness are the four major directions for the development of clinical medicine in the 21st century. Among them, digital technology is the main support, and 3D printing technology is important. content.

According to Wang Chengyu, the current application of 3D printing technology in clinical medicine has three major areas—modeling, assisting precision surgery, and individualized planting. The next research and development direction is 3D printing of soft tissue system and tissue engineering scaffold, and also the model. The physical properties raise higher demands, such as the ability to print blood vessel muscles.

It is understood that 3D printing technology is not a printing technology in nature, but a manufacturing technology, which is also called “additive manufacturing” in the industry. Unlike traditional manufacturing, which is shaped by processing raw materials, 3D printing technology is “out of nothing”. The production process is not only not restricted by the geometry of the raw materials, but also produces almost no waste, which can effectively save costs.

“3D printing technology can solve many problems that traditional processes can't solve.” Wei Bin, general manager of General Electric Research and Development Center in China, said that the advanced manufacturing industry is based on advanced products, and advanced products must have advanced and reliable processing methods. Applying new materials, 3D printing technology has advantages over traditional manufacturing processes in manufacturing complex, individualized products.

For example, Wei Bin said that the anti-bird collision parts in front of the aircraft engine blades are complex in shape and difficult to process, but 3D printing technology can achieve “one-shot molding”, which not only improves the manufacturing efficiency, but also makes the products have mechanical characteristics to meet the functional requirements. .

Of course, the application and management of 3D printing technology is not limited to a 3D printer, nor does it mean that a machine, model, and good materials will produce good products. The 3D printing industry is the same as traditional manufacturing. The process is also required for management operations, and the machine is only one part of it.

Despite the increasing attention paid to 3D printing technology, the 3D printing industry has become one of the “Top Ten Fastest Growing Industries”, but it is still a drop in the ocean compared to the scale of traditional manufacturing. According to the statistics of the World 3D Printing Technology Industry Alliance, until 2013, the global 3D printing market was nearly 4 billion US dollars, which is less than the annual output value of a large enterprise.

The industry believes that 3D printing technology is more suitable for "manufacturing and selling high-margin products and services, providing consumers with a personalized and revolutionary experience." The way to develop is not to compete with traditional manufacturing, but Through its high degree of processing manufacturing flexibility and wide material applicability to complement the traditional manufacturing advantages, with its "fine, accurate, fast" manufacturing characteristics, promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing.

3D printing technology is becoming a worldwide technology competition, which not only points out a path for the development of advanced manufacturing, but also points out a direction for the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing.

Big data + cloud computing: embedded in the whole process of production

The US "re-industrialization concept", Japan's "industrial intelligence" and Germany's "industrial 4.0" have embedded a new generation of information technology such as big data and cloud computing into the entire manufacturing and service process of the manufacturing industry. Processes and effects have been widely watched.

"The competition that most manufacturers understand is mainly focused on solving problems. This is just a visible competition. Smarter companies are already working hard to avoid problems. This is invisible competition. The future competition is mainly This is the case. Li Jie, director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Intelligent Maintenance System Industry-University Cooperation Center, said that the global manufacturing landscape is changing in the Internet era, and big data technology will play an important role.

Big data means that the amount of information involved is so large that it cannot be captured, managed, and processed in a reasonable time by the current mainstream software, making it a kind of information that can help companies make business decisions and achieve more positive goals, also known as huge amounts of information.

Li Jie said that the big data source of manufacturing in the information age is 6C: Connection (sensor, sensor and network), cloud (Cloud, data of any time and demand), virtual network (Cyber, mode and memory), content (Content , relevance and meaning), community (community, sharing and communication) and customization (customization, personalized service and value).
