Just put the egg liquid into the printer, and you can eat an omelette. Want to wear a pair of "fashionable" shoes, also through 3D printing.
On May 26, at the 2016 China Digital Expo "Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) Public Service Platform and Creative Dream Experimental Classroom Conference", Zhang Yunfei, vice chairman of the China Electronic Commerce Association, told reporters that with 3D printing technology, the future, Some items do not need to go to the mall to buy, they can be printed out at home.
Zhang Yunfei said that as a "leader" in the big data industry, Guizhou, in the future, the new life brought by 3D printing technology will be within reach of ordinary people.

print "food, clothing, housing, and transportation" as you like
3D printing is an emerging rapid prototyping technology, which is called the iconic technology of the third industrial revolution.
"In short, 3D printing technology is that you design various models in a computer database, and then use a 3D printer to stack the materials layer by layer. These materials can be ceramics, metals, glass and other raw materials, and finally produce products." Zhang Yunfei Said, 3D printing technology is a kind of rapid prototyping technology, you can design any desired shape and pattern, it depends on what raw materials you put in the printer.
Zhang Yunfei gives an example: You can print a mobile phone case using plastic as a raw material. If you like, you can also print a fried egg, a piece of pizza or a piece of chocolate. In fact, 3D printer printing food is not so mysterious, but the raw materials are replaced with flour, egg liquid and other ingredients. "Of course, in the future, you can also design different styles of clothes in the database, and print any one you want." According to Zhang Yunfei, 3D printed houses have already appeared in Suzhou. "When 3D printing technology meets big data, this rapid prototyping technology is being used in medical treatment, clothing, construction, automobiles, aerospace, etc."

3D printer, priced at a minimum of 2,000 yuan
CEO of New Jinbao Group Shen Shirong, chairman of Sanwei International, said in an interview with reporters yesterday that their self-developed 3D printers will be more widely used in ordinary people's lives. In the future, every family can buy a 3D printer. Since the transition to intelligent manufacturing in 2013, Sanwei International has become the world's largest manufacturer of 3D printer shipments.
"By downloading from the cloud or using 3D drawing software, you can design any shape and pattern you want, put flour, chocolate and other raw materials into the printer, and watch the raw materials printed into the food you want through the transparent front panel , And then put it into the oven to bake, you can complete the private customized creative cuisine." Shen Shirong said that the printer they developed can print 20 kinds of food.
Shen Shirong said that in the future, 3D printed products will also cover a variety of materials, with product prices ranging from a minimum of 2,000 yuan to more than 100,000 yuan. At present, the company is also working with Japanese companies to jointly develop a biological tissue 3D printer for the repair of severe burns and other serious skin injuries. "We will also promote this technology in Guizhou." According to
, the production volume of 3D International 3D printers will reach 120,000 to 150,000 units in 2016 and 1 million units in 2018.
"3D" new life, ordinary people are within reach
Zhang Yunfei admitted frankly that due to the influence of materials and forming technology, 3D printing still has some technical shortcomings. For example, the accuracy is not high enough, and there are still problems with the durability and reliability of some products. Another prominent problem of
is that the printing time is relatively long. "For example, printing a pancake can be done in about ten minutes, but printing a metal toy and a daily necessities currently takes one to two hours, which may be longer." Zhang Yunfei said. 3D printing technology has not yet fully matured, if it is more complex items, the time will double.
He believes that facing the future, one can imagine the infinite possibilities brought about by 3D printing technology.
"When 3D printing technology encounters big data, it will inevitably bring about a change." Zhang Yunfei said that as a "leader" in the big data industry, Guizhou, in the future, the new life brought by 3D printing technology will be within reach of ordinary people.

According to Nike's chief operating officer Eric Sprunk, soon consumers will be able to print a complete pair of sports shoes at home. The American startup Feetz has raised more than $1 million and is expected to become the first manufacturer of 3D printed shoes. Customers only need to send three feet photos to Feetz, choose the style and design of the shoes, and receive a pair of customized shoes by mail.

startup Electroloom has developed a method of 3D printing textiles. And some designers have made bolder products. For example, bikinis, when people wearing bikinis are swimming, this material can clean the water, which is practical and fashionable.

Audi has printed a mini 1936 version of the Grand Prix race car. The material that makes up the rolling model is metal made by Audi's new 3D printer. This printer uses a laser to melt metal powder of steel or aluminum, and then creates parts based on high-resolution drawings. Audi's 3D printing technology can produce metal parts up to 20.3 cm long, significantly reducing the time engineers spend on manufacturing parts during molding.
