About 3000 years ago

Casting, forging, welding and other processes appeared

The curtain of the Bronze Age was opened

This material is manufactured in a way that the weight remains largely unchanged

It is called "equal timber manufacturing"

About 300 years ago

The Industrial Revolution opened the door to modern civilization

It also brings about the diversification of production needs

Through turning, milling, planing, grinding and other equipment

This is where the method of machining materials comes in

i.e. "subtractive manufacturing"

And more than 30 years ago, a rapid prototyping technology was introduced.

This kind of starting with a digital model file,

With metal, plastic and other bondable materials as the medium,

The way to print objects layer by layer is 3D printing technology

Another name for it is additive manufacturing.

01 What is 3D printing?

From houses and bridges to shoes, clothing, ornaments, toys......

in our lives

The list of products made through 3D printing is already endless

Even the top UP master of station B, classmate He

I also recorded a video about 3D printing

More than 12 million views

It can be seen that the public is very interested in 3D printing technology

Generally speaking, our most common printing method, like "squeezing cream into flowers", is fused deposition printing.

There are three types of 3D printing methods: fused deposition molding, light curing molding, and selective laser sintering molding.

Taking metal laser sintering molding printing as an example, 3D printing generally requires the following steps-

How does 3D printing technology reduce carbon emissions?

02 Between 3D printing and carbon reduction

Iso-material manufacturing and subtractive manufacturing not only consume a lot of energy resources, but also produce huge carbon emissions.

As additive manufacturing, 3D printing has changed the concept and mode of traditional manufacturing with the production method of "taking as much as you need, one step at a time".

It can not only reduce the consumption of resources and energy in production, but also directly and effectively reduce carbon emissions; It can also greatly reduce the product development cycle and cost, promote the material revolution, and contribute to a sustainable future with green production.

Based on the forward-looking concept of sustainability, Honeywell has long introduced 3D printing technology, especially in the aerospace field. Restricted by "hard requirements" such as lightweight, precision, and high-cost development, 3D printing can show its strength.

Honeywell has also successfully certified 3D printing for use in aircraft auxiliary power units and buffer air ducts for thrust engines, and is committed to developing the development of 3D printing in the field of urban air mobility.

3D printing has shown great talent in the practice of sustainable development and carbon emission reduction. Honeywell will also make full use of 3D printing technology to create more possibilities for the future.

Although 3D printing may not be perfect, it is always promising.
