Since 2011, the world has started to set off a 3D printing boom. At present, 3D printing has made positive progress in the market applications in aerospace, automotive, medical health and other fields. The development of China's 3D printing industry has been continuously deepening and expanding. The situation. In the future, with the support of policies and technology, China's 3D printing industry will continue to grow.


Mainly including materials, R&D, manufacturing and application layers

 

3D printing is an industry that integrates materials, 3D printing equipment development, and downstream applications. Upstream is the development and manufacturing layer of 3D printing materials, including auxiliary operation (3D scanner, control software, etc.), basic supporting (stepping motor, chip, etc.) and printing materials (titanium alloy, metal powder, nylon material, etc.). The midstream is developed and manufactured for 3D printing equipment, and the downstream is applied. The main application scenarios of 3D printing are in aerospace, mold casting, biomedical, and automotive fields.

 

3D printing equipment is mainly divided into desktop and industrial grades. The desktop level is the initial stage and the entry stage of 3D printing technology, which can explain the process principle of 3D printing technology very intuitively. Industrial grade 3D printers are mainly divided into rapid prototyping and direct product manufacturing. The two are different in printing accuracy, speed, size, etc. Among them, the print support and print entity can be divided into parameter printing design is the most important mark to distinguish between industrial and desktop machines.

 

Since China introduced 3D printing technology in recent years, the gap is very large compared with foreign countries. At present, the world has developed into metal 3D printing, polymer 3D printing, ceramic 3D printing and biological 3D printing technology. In China, it is mainly in lamination and laser lamps. However, in recent years, China's biological 3D printing technology has continuously made breakthroughs, and promoted the clinical transformation process of 3D printed medical devices and artificial tissues and organs.

 

The market scale continues to expand

 

Since the development of 3D printing in China in 1988, it has shown a trend of deepening and expanding applications. In the three years from 2015 to 2017, the scale of China's 3D printing industry has doubled, with an average annual growth rate of more than 25%. In 2017, there were more than 500 related companies in China's 3D printing industry. The industry scale has reached 10 billion yuan, and the growth rate has slowed slightly to 25%, but it is still 4 percentage points higher than the world. In the first half of 2018, China's 3D printing industry maintained a growth rate of more than 25%. The overall size of 2018 is expected to reach 1.83 billion US dollars.

 

3D printing has a wide range of applications, and its distribution in the downstream application industry and specific application areas reflects the advantages and characteristics of this technology. It also reflects the limitations of this technology and the areas that need to be improved in the development process. Industries that demand a lot of 3D printers include government, aerospace and defense, medical equipment, high technology, education, and manufacturing. Currently, the top three applications are industrial machinery, aerospace and automotive, accounting for 20.0%, 16.6% and 13.8% of the market respectively.

 

In terms of 3D printer types, domestic desktop 3D printer shipments increased by 27% in 2017, of which about 95% were personal or desktop printers, while industrial-grade 3D printer shipments increased by only 5%. But in terms of sales revenue, industrial-grade 3D printers account for 80% of total revenue. Therefore, although consumer-grade equipment supports shipments, industrial-grade equipment supports the sales revenue of the entire industry, and industrial-grade 3D printing equipment is the main force for industry revenue growth in the future.

 

The spatial development pattern with the Bohai Sea, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta as the core has been formed.

 

From the perspective of regional distribution, China's 3D printing industry has a clear gathering trend. At present, it has basically formed an industrial space development pattern with the Bohai Sea, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta as the core and the central and western regions as the link.
