Advance: automation + 3D printing
Automation and 3D printing are the two key enablers for technology advancement. Despite the perception that robots will take the jobs of humans, automation in the plastics industry is not a zero-sum game to decide between an all-human workforce or an all-automated one. A number of plastics processes can apply automation. Investing in automation would be a means to do more with the equipment plastics manufacturers currently have. In the medical devices industry, for example, manufacturer may use automated process to insert plastic parts into a medical component, and measure the cavity pressure to ensure the parts are properly insert.
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, market has seen a tremendous growth and innovation since it is first invented in the early 1980s. After the expiration of a key patent in 2009, allowing many technology companies to offer low-cost consumer-level 3D printers, 3D printing is no longer a niche technology. The global 3D printing plastics market reached USD 786.9 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.9% from 2022 to 2030. Personalization products development and government incentives, coupled with the rising demand from the end-user industries such as automotive, medical, and aerospace, shall boost the market to expand further over the coming years.
Not to mention the advanced automation and robotics technologies in the Injection Molding Solutions Zone, a 3D Tech Zone will also be set up in CHINAPLAS 2023. At the theme zone, visitors shall discover new 3D printing materials, technologies and hardware from Yizumi, Bright Laser Technologies, ZWSOFT, Hanbang, DMAC and other solution providers.
Personalization products development and government incentives, coupled with the rising demand from the end-user industries, shall boost the 3D printing market to expand further over the coming years.
