[Exhibition Review] 4 Must-See Highlights of the 2024 Taiwan 3D Printing Exhibition! Unveiling the Most Inquired Products!
The 3D printing industry has rapidly emerged in recent years, becoming a crucial part of modern manufacturing. This technology, with its high flexibility and precision, can significantly shorten the time from design to manufacturing and reduce costs. Therefore, 3D printing technology has a wide range of applications and plays an indispensable role in many fields, including medical, aerospace, automotive, construction, and consumer goods. For example, in the medical field, 3D printing can be used to create customized prostheses and implants, and even printed organ models to help doctors plan surgeries. In the aerospace field, it can be used to manufacture lightweight aircraft components, thereby improving fuel efficiency.
According to market research, the global 3D printing market is expected to continue its growth . In 2021, the global 3D printing materials market reached 311.1 billion yen (approximately NT$68.7 billion), and is projected to reach 912.5 billion yen (approximately NT$ 201.5 billion ) by 2026. This growth is primarily driven by continuous technological advancements and the expansion of its applications.
Taiwan's 3D printing industry has flourished due to expanding demand and technological diversity, culminating in a grand exhibition specifically designed for 3D printing! We at SanDiMa, as one of the distributors, participated in this event, and the 2024 International 3D Printing Exhibition has now successfully concluded! This article will review the highlights of the exhibition. If you were unable to attend in person or have further questions, please refer to the following review!
This year, the number of people interacting at the 3D printing booth reached a new high compared to 605 last year . Whether they were newcomers to the field of 3D printing or experienced professionals, people from different sectors actively communicated with the 3D printing staff. We sincerely thank everyone for their support and encouragement!
The models showcased here are all among our best-selling styles, with one brand receiving extremely high inquiries! We also have some machines that weren't on display but were frequently asked about. What are these products?! Read on to find out!
