Can 3D printing usher in a new wave in 2016?

On the afternoon of January 4, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Orchard Harbour in Chongqing. He listened to briefings on the construction of the shipping center in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the combined use of railroads, highways, and waterways, and looked at the container ships that are currently operating. Hearing that the countries along the Ganzhou-Xinhua International Railway have achieved a customs clearance inspection and full release, he praised "very good." After seeing the port facilities are in place and he has begun to take shape, he said: "There is great hope here."

Does Xi Dao’s “big hope” actually have anything to do with 3D printing? The answer is: Yes. According to a number of data surveys, sales of 3D printers in China will surpass the United States in 2016, and obviously a significant portion of these sales are exports. For domestic 3D printing companies, a sound logistics system is an important part of “going out of the country”. As an important site of the “One Belt and One Road”, Chongqing is playing an important role in cross-border trade.

On the other hand, 3D printing currently has significant technological breakthroughs in the industrial manufacturing industry, including the automotive industry. As we all know, Chongqing's automobile manufacturing industry ranks very high in the country. This year, the world's first 3D-printed car will be on the market. What will happen to the market response, and let us wait and see, but it cannot be denied that the road of integration of the automotive industry and 3D printing technology is getting wider and wider.

Orchard Port is located in the core area of ​​Chongqing’s Liangjiang New District. It is China’s largest inland water, iron, and public transport hub port. It also uses upright wharfs that are usually found in seaports. It covers a total area of ​​4 km2 and is divided into pre-harbor operations and Hougang Logistics Park. As the third-generation modern river port area under the key planning and construction of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Communications, and the municipal government, the total investment exceeds RMB 10 billion. Currently, there are 16 berths with a capacity of 5,000 tons.

In addition to Orchard Harbour, General Secretary Xi Jinping also inspected Chongqing BOE Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. This is a semiconductor technology research and development company. If you are concerned about 3D printing news, you should know that the relationship between 3D printing technology and semiconductor technology is inextricably linked.

Comparing with metal 3D printing, although the progress of electronic 3D printing is relatively slow, in recent years it has also achieved a lot of far-reaching technological breakthroughs, especially in raw materials, related to the latest conductive ink emerging, not long ago, the world-renowned semiconductor equipment supplier K&S Announced the use of 3D printing technology to optimize components. The PCB3D printer's development process has never stopped the advancement, I believe that 3D printing technology can directly print electronic products this day will not be too far away.

BOE Technology Group is the largest semiconductor display leader in China, with the market share ranking the top five in the world and the first in the country. Established in 2013, Chongqing BOE Corporation is one of the country’s seven semiconductor display device production bases. It is located in Liangjiang New District and covers an area of ​​1,040 mu and a building area of ​​1 million square meters. The 8.5-generation TFT-LCD (thin-film-transistor liquid crystal display) production line project of BOE Chongqing has a total investment of 32.8 billion yuan and a designed production capacity of 120,000 tablets/month. The main products include display modules for notebook computers and televisions.

General Secretary Xi in the company watched the flexible screen, ultra high-definition display and other product demonstrations to understand the 8.5 generation LCD panel production process, with a magnifying glass to watch the circuit inside the glass panel, he said, five development concepts, "innovation" In the first place, we must firmly grasp innovation in our hands and engage in innovation.

In various electronic products, the production cost of the screen is high, and researchers have also been trying to develop more innovative displays. Earlier, a research team from Japan stated that they are developing a "plastic" screen that uses a 3D printing technology to make a display screen with a plastic material. Although the completion of this achievement is still long, it has attracted wide attention.

In addition, this month, the ETH Zurich also announced a state-of-the-art technology. They rely on 3D printing technology to create the most transparent and conductive electrodes to date, making electronic touch screens everywhere in everyday life better. The screen quality and more accurate reaction capabilities. Relevant researchers will also continue to study this technology in depth in order to apply it to industrial manufacturing and mass production.

It is not difficult to see that electronic products are one of the "survival tools" that are essential to contemporary life, and their potential for development is enormous. Compared to traditional technology, 3D printing has a lower cost and a larger space for technological innovation. Even most of the areas are focused on. Do you think that 3D printing will usher in a new high in 2016?
