Chairman of the British Additive Manufacturing Alliance: optimistic about the application of 3D printing in medical and aerospace fields

Graham Tromans, president of the British Additives Manufacturing Alliance, said that the future development of 3D printing, first in the medical field, has now been printed on many organs. In addition, space aerospace has also begun to apply, and there may be further applications in the future, especially in the equipment manufacturing of space stations and space stations.

Graham Tromans said at the 2014 World 3D Printing Technology Industry Conference that in the medical industry , the application prospects of 3D printing are very broad, especially in medical organ transplantation. According to the data he provided, a large number of 3D printings are used worldwide for the manufacture of braces, of which EOS produces 6.8 million braces per year and 450 EOS can produce 450. In addition, he also pointed out that the medical field has used three cross-sections to reshape some parts of the heart that are congenitally deficient.

For applications such as organ manufacturing, Jack Zhou, a professor at Drexel University in the United States, believes that whether organs can survive after entering the human body is a very complicated matter. It is necessary to do a lot of experiments to get it. The artificial organs that enter the human body still need at least 10 to 15 years.

Some applications have already been launched in the aerospace industry. Graham Tromans predicts that 100,000 parts will be used in the aviation industry by 2020, and there are currently more than 800 3D printing machines in GE. At the same time, he also pointed out that the Airbus A320 has already used 3D printing technology, and one of the loose-leaf parts can lose about 10 kilograms. At the same time, from 2015 to 2016, related companies can manufacture a large number of new engine products using 3D printing technology.

In industrial applications, Graham Tromans pointed out that the advantages of 3D printing technology, such as environmental benefits, reducing inventory pressure, and improving R&D efficiency, will gradually emerge. He pointed out that Lamborghini's use of traditional prototype manufacturing would take 40 days, $40,000, if using 3D additive manufacturing is only 20 days, $4,000.

High Precision Distance Sensor

Laser range sensors combine the advantages of a visible red sensing beam with the increased range of a laser. The optical distance sensor devices are Class 2 lasers, support Class 1 customized. The high precision autonics distance sensor is successfully be used to connect to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, with +-1mm to 3mm high accuray, and long-range solutions (max up to 150m) for your application.
