The Iron and Steel Foundry Sharing Group in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in northwestern China is using new 3D printing technologies to reshape Chinese manufacturing.
“Before working in a noise-hung, dusty factory building, clothes were washed almost every day. Now it's time to move your fingers in a constant temperature and humidity workshop.†Trained from the group’s foundry workshop to a 3D printing shop and engaged in sand-type printing. Worker Zhang Chao said.
In this company, 3D printing technology uses a process to replace all four processes of mold making, molding, core making and box making in the sand manufacturing process. The quality and efficiency of castings are greatly improved, and the precision is increased from the highest plus or minus 1 mm to 0.2 mm. about. The scrap rate of the “big head†engine cylinder head production in the foundry industry has also dropped from an average of 30% to less than 5%, and the production time of medium-speed diesel engine heads has shrunk from 8 days to 1 day.
"3D printing is changing history," said Meng Qingwen, deputy director of the 3D Industry Center of the Sharing Group.
This old foundry state-owned enterprise established in 1966 rejuvenated with innovation and achieved a revolutionary breakthrough in 3D printing in the foundry industry. At present, 60%-70% of products produced by enterprises are sold in more than 10 countries and regions in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. General international, Mazak, Siemens and other internationally renowned companies are its customers.
In early February, when Premier Li Keqiang visited the sharing group, he said, 3D printing has achieved the transformation of casting products from “stupid black and thick†to “younger ladyâ€. Li Keqiang said that there is much room for transforming traditional industries with disruptive new technologies.
In May last year, the State Council issued "Made in China 2025" and deployed a strategy to comprehensively promote the implementation of manufacturing power. This is the action plan for the first decade of China's strategy to build a strong country.
"The launch of "Made in China 2025" has enhanced our confidence in the transformation. When the prime minister talked about the new and old kinetic energy conversions, 'Internet Plus', etc., it greatly encouraged our R&D team and let us firmly take the path of innovation and transformation. The determination." Peng Fan said.
In addition to the foundry industry, 3D printing technology is also widely used in China in automotive manufacturing, household appliances, biomedical and aerospace industries. From the nose window frame of the C919 large passenger aircraft to the antenna bracket of the Pujiang No. 1 satellite, the application of 3D printing technology in China has made considerable progress.
Affected by the sluggish international economic situation, many traditional manufacturing enterprises in China are in trouble because of overcapacity and low-end products. In the eyes of the industry, the use of technological innovations such as 3D printing to achieve transformation, or will become a way out for these companies.
A report released by the McKinsey Global Institute in fall 2015 stated that innovation is a decisive factor in whether China can maintain its economic growth over the next decade. Before 2025, the annual contribution of service industry and manufacturing innovation activities to the Chinese economy is expected to reach 1-2.2 trillion US dollars.
Professor Lin Feng of the Tsinghua University's Center for Biofabrication and Rapid Prototyping said that, unlike traditional manufacturing technologies, 3D printing is manufactured under the control of computers by stacking materials, ie, additive manufacturing.
“Traditional manufacturing methods are like building cave dwellings and need to dig out excess soil. 3D printing is like building a house. It is piled up with a block of bricks and it has a high degree of freedom,†said Lin Feng.
At present, Nanjing, Wuhan, Zhuhai, Qingdao, Chengdu, and Wuxi have established or are preparing to establish 3D technology innovation centers and industrial parks. Many universities such as Tsinghua University, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Xi'an Jiaotong University also have 3D printing R&D laboratories.
Among them, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has used 3D printing technology to manufacture more than 50 kinds of specifications, hundreds of large-scale key components, and has been practically used in more than ten types of equipment engineering such as aircrafts, spacecrafts, gas turbines, and steam turbines, making China a master Countries with key metal components 3D printing technology and successful engineering applications.
Lu Bingheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University, said that the 3D printing technology R&D that is “emerging everywhere†can promote the development of Chinese manufacturing to high-end and support the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing in China.
According to a report issued by the World Intellectual Property Organization at the end of last year, since 2005, 1/4 of global patent applications in the fields of 3D printing and robotics engineering have come from China, making it the highest in the world.
Analysts expect that at the upcoming National Two Conferences, the deputies will discuss the topic of technological innovation driving the transformation of the manufacturing industry, and make recommendations for the realization of the “Made in China 2025†target.
