Why is 3D printing more expensive?
#1
3D printing is a technology that creates objects by stacking materials layer by layer. It uses special printers and materials to create a three-dimensional model of the object through computer-aided design software, and then prints out the physical object by stacking the material layer by layer. The 3D scanner is one of the key devices for 3D printing, which can convert physical objects into digital three-dimensional models. This technology can produce complex structures and fine details, with strong customization capabilities. Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, 3D printing is more expensive. Why is this?

1. 3D printing raw material resources are limited: Some 3D printing materials rarely exist in nature. Even if they exist, they are rarely used in ordinary people's lives and cannot be used in 3D printing on a large scale.

2. 3D printing consumables wear out quickly, and printing a 3D product requires a lot of materials. In addition, 3D printing requires the machine to be used for a long time, and it takes time to run and warm up the machine. These intermediate links of the machine also require a lot of cost. The superposition of the two increases the cost of 3D printing, which is highlighted in the price of 3D printing.

3. Personalized customization: The production cost of 3D printing is higher than traditional manufacturing methods. In addition, because 3D printing can print complex structures and fine details, the design of many products is also more complex, which will also lead to an increase in the cost of 3D printing.

4. Application scope: Currently, 3D printing is mainly used in high-end manufacturing fields, such as aerospace, medical equipment, etc. These industries have very high requirements for product accuracy and quality, so they are also willing to pay for the high price of 3D printing.
