After years of development, 3D printing technology has basically formed a system in technology, and the same applicable industries are gradually expanding. From product design to die design and manufacturing, materials engineering, medical research, culture and art, construction engineering and so on, 3D printer technology is gradually used, making 3D printer technology. It has broad prospects. Continuous improvement of the application level of 3D printing technology is the key to promote the development of this technology.

First, the most direct advantage is to save materials, do not need to exclude edges and corners, improve material utilization rate, and reduce costs by abandoning production lines; second, can achieve high accuracy and complexity, in addition to showing the design on the shape curve; third, no longer need for traditional tools, fixtures and machine tools or Any die can directly generate any shape parts from computer graphics data; fourthly, it can automatically, quickly, directly and accurately transform the design of the computer into a model, or even directly manufacture parts or dies to effectively shorten the product development cycle: fifth, 3D printing can be formed in a few hours, it allows. Designers and developers have achieved a leap from graphic to physical: Sixth, it can print assembled products, so it greatly reduces the cost of assembly, and it can even challenge large-scale production.

At present, 3D printing technology has been widely used in industrial modeling, mechanical manufacturing, aerospace, military, architecture, film and television, household appliances, light industry, medicine, archaeology, culture and art, lithography, jewelry and other fields. And with the development of this technology itself, its application field will continue to expand. The practical application of 3D printing technology mainly concentrates on the following aspects:
 
Product design field
The application of 3D printing technology in the process of new product modeling design has established a brand new product development mode for the designers and developers of industrial products. Using 3D printing technology can quickly, directly and accurately transform design ideas into physical models (samples) with certain functions, which not only shortens the development cycle, but also reduces the development costs, and also makes enterprises take the lead in the fierce market competition.
 
Architectural design field
The traditional way of making building models is gradually unable to meet the requirements of high-end design projects. Nowadays, many large-scale facilities or venues of design institutions use 3D printing technology to construct accurate building models in advance for effect display and related testing. The advantages and incomparable realistic effects of 3D printing technology are recognized by designers. Due to its own characteristics, 3D printing technology has been widely used in the field of mechanical manufacturing. It is mainly used for the manufacture of single and small-batch metal parts. For some special complex parts, they only need to be produced in a single piece or in a small batch of less than 50 pieces. Generally, 3D printing technology can be used for direct molding, with low cost and short cycle.
 
 
Mold manufacturing
For example, in the traditional mold manufacturing field, such as toy making, the mold production time is long and the cost is high. Combining 3D printing technology with traditional mold manufacturing technology can greatly shorten the development cycle of mold manufacturing and improve productivity, which is an effective way to solve the weak links of mold design and manufacturing. The application of 3D printing technology in mold manufacturing can be divided into two types: direct mold making and indirect mold making. Direct mold making refers to the use of 3D printing technology to directly pile up and produce molds, while indirect mold making refers to the production of rapid prototyping parts and the reproduction of parts to obtain the required molds.
 
Medical field
In recent years, there have been many researches on the application of 3D printing technology in the medical field. Based on medical image data, 3D printing technology is used to make human organ model, which has great application value in surgery.
 
Culture and art field
In the field of culture and art, 3D printing technology is mostly used for artistic creation, cultural relic reproduction, digital sculpture and so on.
 
Space technology
In the field of aeronautics and astronautics, aerodynamics ground simulation experiment (wind tunnel experiment) is an indispensable and important link in designing the shuttle system with advanced performance. The model used in this experiment has complex shape, high precision requirement and streamline characteristics. 3D printing technology is adopted to automatically complete the solid model by 3D printing equipment according to CAD model, which can ensure the model quality.
 
Home appliance field
3D printing technology has been widely used in the domestic home appliance industry, making many home appliance enterprises in the forefront of China. 3D printing technology is widely used. It can be believed that with the continuous maturity and improvement of 3D printing technology, it will be promoted and applied in more and more fields.
