Related Hot Products
3D printing service is a manufacturing service that can quickly transform designs into physical objects and can be customized according to individual needs to meet specific requirements. This technology not only changes the perception of manufacturers and users towards traditional manufacturing industries but also changes the manufacturing methods in fields such as automotive parts and aerospace.
PLA 3D printing technology mainly uses layered construction, with digital models as design prototypes, to stack and assemble materials step by step, thereby manufacturing customized products with complex shapes.
Basic Technologies for 3D Printing Service
The technology range provided by the 3D printing service is extensive, mainly including the laser sintering process, wire melt deposition forming process, photopolymerization forming process, and equal layer solid manufacturing. Specifically, it includes:
- Powder laser sintering process
There are many sources of powder raw materials for the 3D printing service, and the preparation of powder materials is relatively easy. Its application fields are also gradually developing. The application of methods such as sintering PS powder or wax powder directly to form investment casting disappearing molds, sintering ceramic powder directly to form ceramic shells, and sintering resin sand directly to form sand molds for casting has played a unique advantage in the field of casting. Meanwhile, a prominent development direction of 3D printing technology is the use of metal powder sintering to form metal products, which traditional manufacturing cannot achieve.
- Silk material melting deposition forming process
Under this method, the cost of the forming source can be significantly reduced because it does not use a laser and instead uses a hot melt extrusion head. In addition, the melting and solidification of silk materials are physical processes that can be applied in a more prominent and extensive environment and can achieve green production, even miniaturized to office desktops. Therefore, while developing its industrial-grade equipment, with the increasing demand for 3D printing technology from various industries and individual enthusiasts, and the gradual recognition of the 3D printing service, personal desktop 3D printers based on fuse forming have become a hot topic for manufacturers to develop and apply.
- UV curing molding process
This 3D printing service can produce high-precision and fine models with high-quality advantages. Manufacturers and suppliers are constantly developing and phasing out new photosensitive materials, which have further improved the performance and application of photopolymerization molding processes. At the same time, manufacturers can control the speed and direction of photon emission, and this processing method can also achieve micro-level structure micro light curing molding, further expanding its application range.
- Stacked entity manufacturing process
Manufacturers usually use paper materials when launching this 3D printing service, which means a reduction in its application scope. The plastic film bonding molding small printer, which was first launched by Israeli company Solido, is still being applied and developed.
The Outstanding Advantages of 3D Printing Service
The emergence of the 3D printing service plays a crucial role in modern manufacturing and brings outstanding advantages, including:
- Create new art media
In modern art creation, the number of handmade creations is decreasing, and 3D printing brings a new form and service of art creation. The service provided by 3D printing technology in cultural and creative fields of art not only includes the production and manufacturing of artworks such as jewelry but also personalized customization and manufacturing. Even the derivatives of high-end artworks such as the reproduction of ancient art have enormous market prospects in their application fields and can be used to replicate the style of art masterpieces.
- Reduce environmental pollution
The rapid development of the traditional manufacturing industry has a huge impact and destructive effect on the environment, which is not conducive to achieving the goals of green production and development. In this regard, the provision of the 3D printing service will reduce waste and carbon emissions, achieving sustainable development.
(1) Reduce material waste
3D printing services only use the materials that make up the product, without the need for residual material recycling and subsequent processing, greatly improving the utilization rate of raw materials and reducing material waste.
(2) Extend the service life of the product
The quality of 3D-printed products has been greatly improved. In addition, with the popularity of 3D printers, the production of new products is relatively rapid after the components are damaged or aged, which reduces the pressure on product manufacturers’ technical services.
(3) Reduce the transportation pressure of products
In traditional manufacturing and transportation, many products often need to go through multiple processes and transportation rotations to reach consumers. 3D printing can provide faster transportation services.
The Process of 3D Printing Service
When manufacturers provide the 3D printing service, the main processes include:
- 3D design: Manufacturers and designers typically use computer-aided design (CAD) software or other 3D modeling software to create a digital 3D model.
- Slicing processing: The manufacturer inputs the 3D model into a 3D printer, which generates a series of thin-slice information based on the model data and stores it in the computer.
- Complete printing: The 3D printer will heat or spray plastic, metal, and other materials layer by layer based on pre-generated slice information, and stack them layer by layer to form a complete 3D model.
- Post-processing: Post-processing the printed model, including removing brackets, trimming surfaces, etc.
Throughout the entire process of providing the 3D printing service, the 3D printer will process and control the materials according to the parameters pre-set by the manufacturer. 3D printing services have advantages such as digitalization, layering, stacking, directness, and speed. This enables 3D printing services to be widely applied in industrial design, construction, mold manufacturing, medical industry, automotive, aerospace, and other fields.
