3D Printing, So That China-Made Aircraft China

May 8, at the Shanghai International Exhibition Center, an audience recording of a chair being printed 3D printer models.

Can you imagine the Great Wall, giant skyscrapers and other buildings were built by printing a way out; even say that to your face, hands, feet...... also printed copy out of it? This is perhaps one day in the future will no longer be wishful thinking.
Recently, the British journal "The Economist" to "3D Printing: Great Wall's new brick" as the subject reported increased timber manufacturing technology in China's rapid development. Which describes, "China's largest 3D printer can produce high-performance, difficult to process large aircraft complex whole key component." This represents the development direction of advanced manufacturing technology in the manufacture of major equipment has great application value "aircraft titanium laser forming integral member of large and complex technology", making China the world's only major breakthrough in aircraft alloy main load-bearing structure Laser rapid prototyping technology, installed applications, countries, and thus won the "2012 Annual State Technological Invention Award."
This printer and the technology are China Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Professor Wang Huaming and his creative team.

Aiming at the international forefront: Chinese team's "magic Transfiguration"
A laser beam, there are rules in metallic materials walk, trails, metal magically grow. This unique laser beam can produce any one of the plane's large parts of complex shapes, like "Transformers", the public shouted, "magical."
"If a critical component of large aircraft titanium traditional manufacturing methods, and other parts forming the final 90% of the materials are to be cut, wasted." Marvel behind decades dedicated to materials science research team leader Wang Huaming frankly, aim of this international cutting-edge technology in mind is that "look not to waste", "key components of large-scale conventional aircraft alloy manufacturing method is forging and machining. first large-scale titanium ingot casting, forging billet, processing of large forging dies, Then re-ton hydraulic press and other large parts rough forging forging equipment, and finally a large number of parts for rough machining the whole process down, time-consuming, the total cost of up to several billion light large mold processing is necessary with more than a year, to spend tens of thousands of tons of hydraulic machines to work, to a large power supply, or even need to build power plants. "
Backward traditional crafts inspired Huaming and team members to tackle tough fight, but also to one of "Made in China" dream quietly rooted - "If one day, China on many of the key large and complex aircraft performance main bearing components we can adopt a direct laser manufacturing technology to achieve low-cost, short cycle, rapid manufacturing nice ah! "
Inspired by a dream, beginning in 2000, Huaming and his research team started the research, focusing on large and complex parts, forging technology, innovation, seek a breakthrough, the use of 5 years out of a completely different and new ways of traditional methods.
They explore a do "addition" of high-performance metal parts manufacturing methods - via computer control, alloy powder melted with a laser and laser followed regularly walk on the metal material, layer by layer deposited directly to "grow", parts directly from CAD models step to complete large, complex high-performance metal parts of the "near net shape" manufacturing.
This technology can produce any one of the plane's large parts of complex shapes, like "Transformers," which features - High performance, low cost, short cycle just to make up for the deficiencies of the traditional production method, but makes a lot of traditional methods The member can not make it possible.
Over the past two to three years to do a large part of the complex, and now two or three months to complete, but only two or three people in the lab operations. Today, Huaming their "Transformers technique" has actually produced parts installed on the aircraft, making China the world's only master titanium aircraft structural parts laser rapid prototyping and application technology installed on the aircraft in the country.
