3D printing service is a technology based on array modeling, and also a process of additive manufacturing where models are built layer by layer, which can transform imagination into reality. 3D printing technology stacks materials layer by layer based on the cut surface to construct objects, including plastic wire, rubber, carbon fiber 3D printing, etc. Each material layer needs to be bonded to the next layer after being stacked to ensure the stable presentation of the entire structure.
Materials for 3D Printing Service
The materials used in the 3D printing service not only determine the quality and properties of the product but also determine the subsequent processing methods and final presentation.
The emergence of new materials has promoted the transformation and development of advanced manufacturing technology in the mechanical manufacturing industry. The production of the 3D printing service is based on the stacking method of materials, which changes the traditional manufacturing method of processing materials. Materials are stacked and formed through an accumulative construction method based on the discretization of digital models.
The 3D printing service has different requirements for materials in terms of form and behavior. In the early research of 3D printing technology methods, material development was developed based on the needs of process equipment research and construction technology. The emergence of a new 3D printing material often leads to significant progress in 3D printing technology, equipment structure, molded part quality, and molding efficiency. Meanwhile, the introduction and maturity of each 3D printing process are closely related to material research and development.
The materials used for the 3D printing service are divided into powder materials, liquid materials, thin layer materials, silk materials, etc. according to different principles, technologies, and physical construction methods. Meanwhile, the shape and performance requirements of varying molding materials correspond to other manufacturing methods. In the early stages of 3D printing technology being able to provide services, manufacturers are researching the raw materials used for manufacturing. With the continuous development and promotion of 3D printing technology, many material professional companies with a certain reputation in the industry have also joined the research and development of 3D printing materials. Currently, 3D printing materials are developing towards high performance, high quality, high efficiency, and serialization.
Manufacturers usually classify materials based on their properties, which is a relatively clear classification method. They can mainly be divided into powder materials, liquid materials, thin layer materials, filamentous materials, etc. This is currently the most commonly used type of 3D printing material.
The materials and properties used in the 3D printing service not only affect the construction process associated with the manufacturing process but also affect the final performance and accuracy of the parts.
The overall requirements for material performance in the 3D printing service are as follows:
- The material should conform to ergonomics, meet the concept of green development, and be non-toxic, and pollution-free.
- It can quickly achieve intra-layer construction and inter-layer connection under various 3D printing construction methods, achieving high printing efficiency.
- The materials selected by the manufacturer should ensure that the parts have good physical properties, including certain mechanical properties and performance stability, or tissue properties and degradability.
- Able to adapt well to the additive manufacturing construction mode of layer-by-layer accumulation.
- The produced parts have certain dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and dimensional stability.
Advances in 3D Printing Service
How to expand the scale of 3D printing services and carry out large-scale production is currently a major challenge. But manufacturers are constantly developing large-scale 3D printers and 3D printing technology, which has led to rapid development. The emergence of large-scale 3D printers that can quickly manufacture parts will completely break the technological monopoly of traditional manufacturing, and the efficiency and overall level of production will be further improved.

The automotive industry has started providing the 3D printing service for the manufacturing of precision parts. High end and smaller automotive companies will benefit first. In the automotive industry, manufacturers can use 3D printing services for rapid design and prototyping of cars, as well as direct application in the production of parts, maintenance of parts, and manufacturing of spare parts.
- Aerospace
The application of the 3D printing services in the aerospace industry is very extensive, which can manufacture more complex internal parts and achieve lightweight production of aerospace components.
- Food
In the food industry, any food in liquid or powder form can be obtained through 3D printing services, so the 3D printing service will become increasingly important and widespread in the food industry.
3D Printing Services in the Medical Field Application
1. Implants: Damage to the oral parts such as eyes, ears, nose, etc. caused by accidental injuries can be repaired by 3D printing. This method has a short production cycle and can be precisely connected to the missing parts
2. Drug delivery device: It is a device that can control the dose and speed of drug release. It can effectively maintain the concentration of drugs in the blood, reduce the number of drug users, and improve the effect of drug treatment. Using SLS 3D printing technology is an ideal method for drug delivery devices.
3. Tissue engineering scaffold: It is a carrier for cell proliferation and needs to be implanted in the body to provide support for cell growth and reproduction. It must have many three-dimensional holes to achieve the conditions for cell reproduction and deliver nutrients and other substances. SLS 3D printing technology can use materials with biological skills, and at the same time can also control the gaps of three-dimensional holes, the diameter of the holes, and other parameters to obtain a better-performance scaffold structure.
4. Artificial limbs: The materials used for artificial limbs need to have strong performance, and due to their repeated use by patients in daily life, they require excellent load-bearing capacity of the materials. Carbon fiber is a great choice for prosthetic materials, with characteristics of strength and density, as well as lightweight. Carbon fiber 3D printing services can quickly provide patients with highly matched prostheses and provide customized production.
