Last afternoon, the 3D Printing and China Zhizao Summit, organized by the Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Think Tank Research Institute, took place at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. The event brought together industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to discuss the future of additive manufacturing and its growing impact on various sectors.
Zong Guisheng, Chairman and CEO of Shenzhen Sandi Printing Technology Co., Ltd., shared his insights on the current state of 3D printing applications. He explained that the technology is currently being used at three main levels. First, in high-tech industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical fields, where the applications are already well-established. Second, in professional settings such as engineering and design, where 3D printing is used for rapid prototyping and model creation. Third, at the consumer level, where desktop 3D printers have become valuable tools for makers and hobbyists.
According to Zong, the key to leveraging 3D printing effectively lies in adopting a "3D printing mindset" when it comes to product design, manufacturing methods, and application areas—rather than relying on traditional approaches. For instance, instead of using a spade to dig soil, one could use a smartphone to locate the best spot for digging. This kind of thinking encourages innovation and reimagines how we approach everyday tasks.
When asked about what 3D printing thinking truly means, Zong provided an example. Traditionally, car exhaust pipes are made from multiple parts that need to be assembled. With 3D printing, however, the entire component can be printed in one go, reducing complexity, improving efficiency, and even enhancing performance. This not only streamlines production but also opens up new possibilities for customization and design flexibility.
