3D Printing For Plastic Prototype Parts

3D printing is a revolutionary technology that creates three-dimensional products by adding material layer by layer to the device, and these materials form its most critical material basis. The continuous innovation and progress of materials plays a crucial role in whether 3D printing technology can be applied in a wider range of fields. At present, China's 3D printing is mainly concentrated in engineering plastics, resins and some common metal materials. However, it is worth noting that in terms of raw materials, domestic production enterprises are relatively few, especially in terms of metal materials, and still rely on imports.

Therefore, in order to promote the development and application of 3D printing technology, we need to increase investment in the research and development of 3D printing materials and cultivate more domestic production enterprises. Especially in terms of metal materials, it is necessary to strengthen scientific research cooperation, promote the independent production capacity of domestic metal 3D printing materials, and reduce dependence on imports. This can not only improve the competitiveness of China's 3D printing industry, but also promote its application in a wider range of fields, and promote the upgrading and transformation of the manufacturing industry. In the future, China is expected to play a more important role in the field of 3D printing technology and become one of the world's leading innovation centers.

Engineering plastics are one of the most widely used materials in commercial 3D printing today, favored for their outstanding characteristics such as impact resistance, heat resistance and aging resistance.

In application, engineering plastics can not only be used for the manufacture of mechanical structures and components, such as fixtures, brackets, etc., but also for the manufacture of Automotive parts such as interior parts and body parts.

Photosensitive resin is a kind of material with the characteristics of fast curing rate, high temperature resistance and light sensitivity, which will undergo photochemical reaction under ultraviolet light, so as to cure and harden quickly, which is suitable for making high-precision parts.

Because the photosensitive resin is controlled by the precise beam when curing, it can achieve very high printing accuracy and detail performance, which is suitable for the production of complex geometric shapes and delicate surfaces, so the photosensitive resin is often used in the printing of medical devices, jewelry, etc.
The application of synthetic rubber in 3D printing is relatively new, but with the continuous progress of technology, it is gradually showing broad application prospects, it is a rubber material made of chemical synthesis, with excellent elasticity and wear resistance.

Because of its excellent elasticity, synthetic rubber is often used to make springs, seals, shock absorbers, etc., and can also be used to make flexible shells and packaging to protect fragile products.
