The birth and rise of emerging industries.

 　　In the "Made in China 2025" issued by the State Council a few days ago, it is clear that through government guidance, integration of resources, the implementation of the construction of the National Manufacturing Innovation Center, intelligent manufacturing, and other five major projects, to achieve long-term constraints on the development of the manufacturing industry key common technology breakthroughs, to enhance the overall competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry's mission and goals. The domestic 3D printing industry has ushered in a new development opportunity, but also put forward newer and higher requirements and challenges for 3D printing enterprises.

　　Since its inception, SANDY Printing has grown through product line expansion, sales channel expansion, service enhancement, and accelerated its development through acquisitions and mergers, forming a 3D printing operation system fully supported by software, systems, applications, sales, and services, covering industrial-grade, commercial-grade, and civil-grade 3D printers, 3D printing materials, and 3D printing service platforms, focusing on aerospace, automotive, medical, industrial, education, daily consumer goods and other fields.

　　The emerging manufacturing industry is surging, Industry 4.0 is sweeping the world, and Made in China 2025 is about to be promulgated. Ten years later, where is Made in China? In the program "Finance and Economy Ahead" broadcasted by Phoenix Chinese Channel on May 8, experts, scholars and manufacturing practitioners from science and technology sector, manufacturing sector have voiced their views and jointly explored the road of "China's Intelligent Manufacturing".

　　In 2010, China's manufacturing surpassed the United States for the first time to become the world's No. 1 manufacturing country with an output value of US$1995 billion. Low resource and labor costs once supported the rapid development of China's manufacturing industry and even China's economy. However, with the slowdown in external economic demand, accompanied by the rise in human resource costs and other factors, China's competitive advantage in the low-end manufacturing sector is receding. At the same time, China in the high-end manufacturing industry is also facing more fierce competition: the United States has developed a "re-industrialization" of the manufacturing industry revival strategy; Germany threw out the "Industry 4.0"; Japan began to implement the "re-emergence strategy Japan began to implement the "re-emergence strategy"; South Korea also put forward the "new power strategy" and so on. Made in China is facing unprecedented complex challenges.

　　U.S. President Barack Obama had mentioned in his 2015 State of the Union address that 21st century (U.S.) businesses need to sell U.S. products overseas, and that the U.S. can't afford to isolate itself from (export) opportunities. And U.S. manufacturing is actively considering moving jobs back from China. Dr. Zong Guisheng, Chairman and CEO of SANDI Printing Technology Co., Ltd. and Chairman of Beijing Longyuan Automatic Forming System Co., Ltd. pointed out on the program, "Advanced technology, energy, and tax policies have enabled the U.S. manufacturing industry to achieve a return of more than ten percent in recent years. Industrial value-added has stabilized at around 12%, and even reached 12.3% in 2014. and this elevated 0.3 point is caused by the return of manufacturing."

Dr. Zong Guisheng on the show

　　Some statistics, in 2004, China's manufacturing costs than the United States is lower than 14%; and today, the gap narrowed to 5%. It is predicted that, if the trend develops, to 2018, China than the United States in the manufacturing cost advantage will no longer exist.

　　Therefore, China urgently needs to upgrade its manufacturing industry through innovation. The inclusion of "mass entrepreneurship, mass innovation" and "creators" in the government work report for this year's two sessions also shows the importance the Chinese government attaches to entrepreneurship and innovation. In the past, the development of new technologies could only be accomplished by a large number of large companies with core technologies and patents; today, with the development and popularization of 3D printing technology, open-source hardware that reduces costs, and cloud factories that connect all endpoints, many entrepreneurial teams and individuals are reshaping the manufacturing industry.

　　Dr. Zong Guisheng believes that, different from the traditional manufacturing industry, if combined with the advantages of 3D printing "personalized customization", the establishment of a big data-supported designer platform, you can create a distributed manufacturing sites around the world, to achieve "cloud" services, "Raindrop" type manufacturing model. This decentralized network replaces traditional logistics and other intermediate links, eliminating the transaction costs at each stage of the traditional supply chain. "This is from design to user, or D2C (Designer to Customer). In the past, designers designed products, the specific performance in the market actually do not know how. Now that we have this proto-manufacturing, distributed manufacturing, it's completely possible to upload all the designs online, and ultimately the one with the most downloads is the best product."

Showcasing 3D printing in the program

　　The German Industry 4.0 program depicts the future vision of the manufacturing industry, proposing that the fourth industrial revolution will break through the data barriers of all production processes through the application of information-physical systems. At the same time, China, the world's largest manufacturing country, the vast majority of factories are still in the labor-intensive scale assembly line stage, that is, the era of Industry 2.0, and Germany, the United States and other developed countries still have a large gap.

　　In the upcoming promulgation of China's version of Industry 4.0 - "Made in China 2025" plan, it is clear that China wants to realize the goal of leapfrogging from Industry 2.0, 3.0 to Industry 4.0, and will be through the construction of manufacturing innovation centers, intelligent manufacturing, industrial strong foundation, green development, high-end equipment innovation five major projects to be fully implemented. While accelerating the adjustment of industrial structure, adapting to the trend of changing demand structure, and perfecting the modern industrial system, it is necessary to actively promote the technological transformation of traditional industries, accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries, enhance the level of China's "smart manufacturing", and comprehensively improve the level of industrial technology and international competitiveness.

　　The need for business innovation The need for industrial transformation

　　With the increasing international competition, increasing the independent innovation ability has become the core of enterprise and industrial competitiveness and realize the lasting power of enterprise innovation and development. Innovation is the vitality and soul of an enterprise. In an industry, innovation can almost decide whether an enterprise is a leader or an imitation follower. In order to make the enterprise really become the main body of independent innovation, we must vigorously enhance the independent innovation ability of enterprises, relying on independent innovation to improve independent research and development capabilities and innovation. There is no independent intellectual property rights of the high-tech industry, can only become a multinational corporations to do OEM, OEM brand processing and assembly type of industry. Only by combining the advantages of technology, innovation, resources and talents can enterprises truly realize independent innovation and long-term competitive advantage. In fact, many enterprises do not want to innovate, but are constrained by many factors. For example: institutional constraints, lack of motivation; lack of innovative environment; enterprise distribution system is unreasonable, incentives are not in place, the lack of technological innovation talent; lack of financial support and so on.

　　Yongkang City, located in the center of Zhejiang Province, China, is under the jurisdiction of Jinhua City. At present, it is the largest distribution center of hardware products in China, known as "Hardware Capital of China", and is one of the top 100 counties (cities) in China's comprehensive strength.In 2013, there were 500 industrial enterprises above the scale in Yongkang, with nearly 160 industrial enterprises above 100 million yuan, and 80 large and medium-sized industries. The total industrial output value of industrial enterprises above scale reached 81.1 billion yuan, an increase of 11.9% over 2012, and the proportion of the city's GDP accounted for as high as 62.7%. Although the growth rate is still high, the growth rate has shown signs of slowing down compared with the previous period, coupled with the fact that there are many industrial enterprises, which are extremely decentralized and lack of concentration. In the global industry continues to accelerate the upgrading of the domestic industrial transformation of the background, the traditional way of development leads to Yongkang industry's overall value-added is still at a low level, it is difficult to meet the development of industrial clusters and economic revitalization of the demand for Yongkang's economic growth again speed and the city's second takeoff urgently need the transformation and upgrading of the industrial system.

Government-enterprise cooperation to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries

　　Since 2008, the U.S. Obama administration will be included in the 3D printing to stimulate the return of the manufacturing industry, accelerate U.S. economic growth, an important "weapon" and triggered the global 3D printing boom, China has also introduced a number of related policies and measures, 3D printing as an emerging industry to cultivate the focus of the strengthening of the main body of enterprise innovation, and to strengthen government guidance and support. Strengthen government guidance and support. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has completed the preliminary formulation of the "National Additive Manufacturing Development Promotion Plan (2014-2020)" draft for comments, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments have also launched various support funds to promote the innovation and upgrading of additive technologies. In addition, all levels of government and related departments have also been actively planning and implementing the introduction and application of 3D printing technology in various forms. For example, the Yongkang Municipal Government's strategic cooperation with SANDI Printing on the creation of the "Yongkang 3D Printing Application Research Institute" project reflects its firm determination and sincerity, and through active and effective measures to guide local enterprises to innovate and promote industrial transformation and upgrading of the plan into practice. 3D Printing Application Research Institute, after completion, will be dedicated to the development of 3D printing technology in the industry. After the completion of the 3D Printing Application Research Institute, it will be committed to the application of 3D printing technology in high-end industrial equipment manufacturing, aerospace, medical devices and other fields, as well as the enhancement of the technical level of local enterprises in Yongkang, and will also undertake the research and development of 3D printing equipment and 3D printing product design, development, printing services and other business functions.

　　In this cooperation, on the one hand, Yongkang Municipal Government has given all-round policy support to the R&D and industrialization of 3D printing technology, which provides strong support for the smooth establishment and operation of the institute. On the other hand, based on the high degree of compatibility with Yongkang's developed hardware manufacturing, the R&D and application expansion of 3D printing technology will also become a booster for Yongkang to realize industrial upgrading and secondary takeoff: the application of 3D printing technology on molds can help Yongkang's traditional hardware industry to realize industrial technology upgrading quickly; through the application research of 3D printing technology in the fields of medical care, aerospace, etc., it will also drive the birth and rise of new industries in Yongkang. The birth and rise of new industries in Yongkang.

　　Strong technical support 3D printing to promote the upgrading of traditional industries

　　3D printing is a set of optical/mechanical/electrical, computer, numerical control and new materials in one of the manufacturing technology, is based on the computer's data design files, through the layer-by-layer stacking accumulation of materials layer by layer deposition or adhesion in order to construct a three-dimensional object technology. Compared with the traditional subtractive manufacturing technology, 3D printing technology takes the route of additive manufacturing, in the process of product molding, 3D printing eliminates the complex process of traditional manufacturing, no need for molds, one-time molding. As a result, 3D printing can design and produce more complex structures.

　　The domestic 3D printing technology research began in the 1990s, compared with the world, the domestic 3D printing technology in some areas to seize the opportunity, but overall is still in the primary stage of development, the overall level of core technology and material resources and Europe and the United States and other developed countries there is still a large gap between the volume of the entire industry in China is small, the enterprise dispersion. 2012 statistics, China's 3D printing equipment ownership of less than 10% global total. In 2012, China's 3D printing equipment is less than 10% of the global total, which shows that there is still a huge industry space for domestic 3D printing technology to lead the industrial upgrading. Luo Jun, Secretary General of China 3D Printing Technology Industry Alliance, also said that China has the potential to become the world's largest 3D printing market, which is expected to grow at least twice as fast as the annual growth rate in the next 3-5 years. Therefore, in the early stage of industrial development, through the establishment of 3D printing application research institute and other initiatives to master the advanced 3D printing technology and seize the first opportunity, but also become the key to the future in the industry to take the lead.
