3D printing has been mentioned too much now. 3D printing implants, 3D printing cars and 3D printing houses seem to be too far away from us while surprising us. But this new technology is also quietly changing our daily life, such as 3D printed chocolate, pancakes and coffee, 3D printed crystal carvings and baby embryos, and even the clothes and shoes we wear. In this issue, let's learn about the application of 3D printing in daily consumer goods.


1. sneakers

3D printing solution:

Wear resistance, elasticity and impact resistance have become the key assessment factors for 3D printing technology and 3D printing materials to enter the field of footwear manufacturing. The advantages of complex manufacturing can realize the grid manufacturing of sole, and the unique TPU material has good elasticity, outstanding bearing capacity, impact resistance and shock absorption performance.
Key advantages: hollow bionic, soft elastic cushioning.

Brand:

Peak, Adidas, Nike, etc. Peak cooperated with domestic Yijia 3D to launch the future 3.0 concept running shoes, which is the best case in the field of domestic shoe making combined with 3D printing. Recently, Xiaomi Youpin is crowdfunding freetie skyward 3D printing sneakers. Interested readers can baidu.

2. Glasses

3D printing solution:
Is the frame too heavy? Does the frame always slide? The mirror leg is too long and the chuck? No matter whether you have encountered these troubles or not, the frames on the market are made in the same standardized way, but there are great differences in the shape of people's faces. Any small change in the frame will bring people different wearing experiences. How to choose a suitable frame without regret is really troublesome. Glasses manufacturers also succeeded in getting this pain point of consumers, so they launched personalized glasses frames with the help of scanning and 3D printing.

3D modeling and making custom frame

The 3D printed spectacle frame has a customized exclusive nose support. Even if it is worn for a long time, it will no longer have the trouble of automatic sliding. Moreover, the 3D printed spectacle frame is only 3.7g, which can greatly reduce fatigue compared with 11g of traditional mass-produced spectacle frames.

Key advantages: lighter, more comfortable and unique.

3.headset

3D printing solution:

The main feature of 3D printing earphone is that its design completely fits the ear and its shape can be personalized. Just like making glasses, we need to scan the auricle model, record the position and length of each person's ear canal, make it through computer CAD, and then print it in 3D. DLP is the most used printing technology, and some brands use metal printing.

Key advantages: better wearing experience, personalized and unique appearance.

4. Jewelry

3D printing solution:

Traditional jewelry manufacturing also takes 15 days at the fastest. The most important thing is that hand carved wax molds are very easy to lose design details and accuracy when going through processes such as casting, adhesive film pressing and mold turnover, and the process is cumbersome.

What 3D printing does is to omit all the steps before planting wax trees, compress the pre production time to one day, with an accuracy of 0.1mm, greatly retain the design details and shorten the jewelry production cycle. 3D printing has become an important means of jewelry production at present.

Key advantages: shorten cycle time and reduce cost.

5. Mobile phone case

3D printing solution:

Ordinary objects such as mobile phone cases can also change big patterns by using 3D printing. First of all, the modeling is not limited, and you can make special-shaped and exaggerated design to fully express the tension of personality; Secondly, we can use structural design to develop more functions, not limited to protecting mobile phones; Most importantly, 3D printing opens up a customized manufacturing concept and a more future and green consumption concept.

In this regard, Xi'an quzhizao has invested a lot of energy in research and development, which can be accessed at 3dfun mall.
Key advantage: personalization.

6. Clothing

3D printing solution:

The application of 3D printing to the whole process of garment design makes the conception and final forming of the garment reach an agreement. All links are completed through numerical control and data sharing. Any shape and structure are automatically connected with the previous layer through the section changed layer by layer of each layer to create a three-dimensional shape. The application of 3D printing in the field of clothing can meet people's pursuit of personalization and uniqueness while realizing the novelty, convenience and environmental protection of clothing.

Key advantages: novelty, convenience and environmental protection.

7. Decoration and artwork

3D printing solution:

From all kinds of indoor decorations to the large flower basket in Tiananmen Square on national day, customized service has become a trend. The unique design using traditional manufacturing technology will undoubtedly have high cost and production cycle. The manufacturing scheme of 3D printing with multiple colors, materials and processes can meet almost any different needs. As long as the model of the object is provided, it can be easily manufactured.

Key advantages: personalized customization, low cost and fast.

Typical applications:

Since many years ago, Tiananmen Square has placed large flower beds in the center of the square for people to enjoy every national day. Since 2016, the flower beds of the square have been made by 3D printing. The purpose is to make the position and shape of each flower more accurate, so as to make the flower basket more vivid and vivid. I believe this year is the same. I'm going to have a look this year.
3D printing is slowly entering people's daily life. A change triggered by 3D printing technology is emerging, which will change our society in a way we can't imagine. Thousands of new enterprises will rise with the help of 3D printing technology. New production methods and intellectual property management procedures will appear in the market, and a wave of entrepreneurs will be set off. Take your time.
