Intelligent manufacturing is the inevitable trend of the development of manufacturing industry, when 3D printing engaged with industry 4.0, what will happen to change? The spring of 3D print has arrived, are we ready? Which business model is the best for 3D print industry?
During the Third World 3D Printing Technology Industry Conference & Expo press conference, the world 3D Printing Technology Industry Alliance chief executive officer – Luo Jun pointed out that the future development of 3D printing must engaged with big data, cloud computing, internet, artificial intelligence, numerical control technology and so on. The Third World 3D printing technology industry conference focused on the “meet the 3D printing 3.0 era” attracted more than 1200 attendees from more than 10 countries and regions. The Third World 3D printing technology industry expo attracted more than 100 companies from Germany, the United States, Belgium and China. The exhibitors showcased the latest 3D printing products and 3D printing solutions. With the exhibition area of 1.6 million square meters is so far the largest scale of global 3D printing industry exhibition. The visitors frequency are expected to be above 30,000.
3D printing industry is picking up, Luo Jun confidently said, only the first half of this year, the Chinese government has published two important policies to promote the development of 3D printing industry. From the perspective of the market, 3D printing will be is expected to achieve 200 billion RMB in 2020 from the worldwide. Although 3D printing is a cutting-edge advanced manufacturing technology, under the background of intelligent manufacturing trend, 3D printing also has long way to be upgraded. Hence, during this conference, Cambridge University, the University of Bath and other global 3D printing industry experts and entrepreneurs has achieved the alliance of developing 3D printing intelligent roadmap.
Luo Jun said that the purpose of The Third World 3D printing technology industry conference is to help the local 3d printing industry development and nurturing the related industries. China 3D printing Innovation Center, the 3D print online (www.3d2013.com), and China 3D Printing Institute intend to choose Chengdu as regional headwater of southwest region.
3D打印智能化号角提前吹响 智能制造是制造业发展的必然趋势，当3D打印遇上工业4.0，将发生哪些改变？3D打印的春天已经到来，我们准备好了吗？3D打印如何找到最佳的商业模式？面对这些问题，世界3D打印技术产业联盟首席执行官罗军在第三届世界3D打印技术产业大会暨博览会新闻发布会上指出：3D打印的未来发展必须与大数据、云计算、物联网、人工智能、数控技术等众多先进技术融合发展，成为众多智能化平台的某个部分。
第三届世界3D打印技术产业大会暨博览会将于4－5日在成都香格里拉大酒店举行，大会将围绕“迎接3D打印3.0时代”主题展开深入讨论，来自10多个国家和地区的1200多位代表参加大会。而第二届3D打印博览会将于3日在成都新国际会展最新拉开帷幕，来自德国、美国、比利时和国内的100多家企业将集中展示最新3D打印产品和3D打印作品，本次展览面积达1.6万平米，是目前为止全球3D打印行业规模最大的会议和展览。而国际上3D打印行业规模最大的会议没有超过500人，展览没有超过5000平米。预计，本次参展的专业观众将突破3万人次。
世界3D打印技术产业联盟首席执行官罗军告诉记者，之所以将本次大会选择在成都举行，是考虑到成都作为我国西部地区重要的区域性中心城市，具有新兴技术和新兴产业发展的诸多优势，而四川省和成都市在积极抢抓3D打印发展方面，作出了许多富有成效的工作。天府新区作为国家级产业新区，需要3D打印、机器人这些前沿性的先进技术的战略支撑。 关于3D打印的机遇期是否到来，罗军满怀信心地表示，3D打印的春天已经来临，仅仅今年上半年，我国政府就出台了2份重要文件来推动3D打印产业的发展。而从市场的角度来看，3D打印将在2020年，全球产值有望实现2000亿人民币。虽然3D打印是一项前沿性的先进制造技术，在未来智能制造的大背景下，也需要转型升级。相信，本次大会上，来自剑桥大学、巴斯大学等全球3D打印行业的权威专家和企业家将会围绕联盟制定的3D打印智能化的路线图（3.0）进行深入讨论，并最终达成共识。
罗军表示，我们开一次大会，是希望帮助地方发展和培育一个产业。本次大会在成都召开，联盟也带来了三个大礼包项目：一是作为全球首个3D打印开放式应用服务平台——中国3D打印创新中心西南总部拟选址成都；二是3D打印在线（www.3d2013.com）作为3D打印行业权威的互联网平台的西南总部拟选址成都；三是以制定3D打印教育培训标准、3D打印人才教育培训和3D打印产业研究相结合的3D打印智库组织——中国3D打印研究院西南总部拟选择成都，目前三个项目正在与相关方面保持紧密沟通。 世界3D打印技术产业联盟主席Graham Tromans、剑桥大学教授Bill O’Neill、银禧科技股份公司董事长谭颂斌等联盟领导回答了记者提问。
据悉，中国3D打印创新中心、3D打印研究院、3D打印在线已经于2014年6月19－22日在青岛举办的第二届世界3D打印大会暨博览会期间，正式与青岛市政府签约，落户青岛国家高新区，并将于今年6月下旬全面对外开放，并可能改写3D打印整个生态系统。
