The Development Trend of 3D Printing Mold Industry From A Global Perspective

In recent years, 3D printing technology has developed rapidly around the world and has gradually become an integral part of modern manufacturing. From mold manufacturing to industrial design, from medical devices to aerospace, 3D printing technology is gradually changing the pattern of traditional manufacturing.

The rapid development of 3D printing technology cannot be separated from the support of new materials and new processes. At present, 3D printing materials mainly include engineering plastics, photosensitive resins, rubber materials, metal materials and ceramic materials. In addition, food materials such as colored gypsum materials, artificial bone meal, cell biological raw materials and granulated sugar have also been applied in the field of 3D printing. The development of these materials has greatly broadened the application range of 3D printing technology, making 3D printing achieve breakthroughs in more fields.

In particular, breakthroughs in metal 3D printing technology have significantly improved the accuracy, strength and durability of products. In high-demand areas such as aerospace, automotive and medical, metal 3D printing technology has a particularly broad application prospect. In addition, multi-material printing technology allows the combination of materials with different properties in a single object, further expanding the scope of 3D printing applications.

3D printing technology has been widely used in many fields, and mold manufacturing is one of the important application areas. Mold is a key component in the manufacturing industry, and its manufacturing efficiency and accuracy directly affect the quality and cost of the product. By producing molds, jigs and auxiliary assembly tools on demand, 3D printing technology can minimize machine downtime, increase production flexibility, and develop customized solutions to optimize traditional production lines.

Many governments around the world have introduced policies to support the development of the 3D printing industry. For example, China has listed 3D printing technology as a strategic emerging industry with a focus on development and introduced a series of policy support measures. As the largest country in the global 3D printing market, the United States is also actively promoting the research and development and application of 3D printing technology.
