The reason why Li Yifan has such a strong hope to get this 3DSYSTERMS is mainly because of the company's future prospects and several unique technologies he has mastered.

After acquiring zcorop, the future 3DSYSTERMS company has increased its strength due to its technical supplement. In addition, they have received support from the US government, so they have increased their research and development efforts, so they soon made a series of major breakthroughs in 3D printing technology. Among them, the most powerful one is their metal component forming process, which can be said to be unique in the world.

Later, they jointly established another joint venture with an Israeli OBJET to establish another STRATASYS company. This company alone and their company itself accounted for more than 80% of the world's 3D printer market.

Later, after they listed on the New York Stock Exchange, their performance in the market was particularly eye-catching, which is also the main reason why Li Yifan firmly wanted to control this company in his own hands.

Just as Li Yifan and Heidi were discussing how to annex and the future giants of the 3D printing industry in the United States, Hu Bin and Yao Chongshan were also discussing digging holes for the Japanese in Hanzhong.

During this period, the two of them were entangled together, one was a good teacher and the other was a good friend. Soon they became friends because of their common hobbies in the field of scientific research. Although the age difference between the two was more than teenage, this did not prevent them from becoming brothers and brothers.

Hu Bin is a pioneer in the field of 3D printing, and he has his own understanding of this field. However, he has figured it out by himself and has not received professional guidance. In addition, due to his livelihood in the past two years, he does not have much understanding of the current trend of 3D printing technology development in the international community.

However, Yao Chongshan can make up for his shortcomings. Yao Chongshan just returned from the United States a few months ago and happened to learn some of the latest international trends in the development of 3D printing technology. He also systematically learned the fundamental knowledge of 3D printing technology, so he has his own plans for the future development of this technology.

This is exactly what Hu Bin lacks. But on the contrary, as a pioneer in 3D printing technology in China, although Hu Bin has poor theoretical knowledge, he has his own insights, especially in practical experience, he is far better than Yao Chongshan.

What's more, he has the metal powder sintering printer he had developed long ago. In the past few days, the two of them have been circled around the printer, then got to know each other, discussed and introduced what they knew to each other. In this way, both of them have made great progress in these new technology fields.

Moreover, they have their own development and plans for the future development of 3D printing technology.

After summarizing these days, they have already figured out the clues and have a general plan for their future development.

Theoretically speaking, the future development of this 3D printing technology will be divided into three types according to the different materials, and these three types will lead to three different processing methods.

The three most basic materials for 3D printing technology are liquid resin, plastic powder, and metal powder.

According to the differences between these three materials, the development of 3D printing technology will be divided into SLA for liquid resins and liquid lithography.

The SLS method for plastic powders, that is, layered laser sintering method, while for metal powders, FDM method, that is, melt deposition method, will be derived.

Of course, there are also DSPC and ceramic shell method that were later born.

There will be various processing technologies such as LOM method in the future.

During this period, Yao Chongshan introduced what he knew to Hu Bin the most mainstream and latest future development model of 3D printing technology.

Based on his introduction, Hu Bin also divided these various processes and planned their main research and development directions in the future.

Among them, they plan to study the SLA method used on plastics. In fact, Hu Bin's small factory was already using this method when he was making handicrafts.

It’s just that the technology is not perfect, because there is no guidance from systematic theory, there are always technical defects of one kind or another.

For a long time in the future, this SLA method may be the most mainstream area for the application of 3D printing technology, although the best method is the FDM method facing metal powders.

Hu Bin has made some small breakthroughs in this field. Now he can use such technology to do metal molding, but his technology is still too rough and there are still many small flaws to be improved.

At this point, this is a national important weapon. In fact, more than ten years later, the United States and China have mastered such technology, especially in some military fields.

However, because the sensitivity of this technology is too high, no one has put this technology into the public, because once it is put into the public, the consequences of this technology will be too unimaginable.

Think about it, what if anyone could use such technology to make firearms?

Don’t think about what kind of aircraft, tanks, etc. are used to make firearms. Just someone using such technology may cause headaches for many governments and countries in the world. Therefore, of course, no one dares to use such sensitive technology.

It can only be used in certain national defense and military industries, so such technology can only be discussed in the long term because it is too sensitive.

The SLS method for resin powder is also very important, and the DSPC method for ceramics is also the main focus of their attention.

After all, in the future, when 3D printing technology is applied in the industrial field, the first thing to face is casting molds, and these two technologies are very critical to manufacturing models.

Therefore, these two technologies are also the main research directions in the future.

However, while studying these technologies and future development directions, the two did not forget the task assigned by Li Yifan, which was to dig holes for the Japanese.

Hu Bin is an old fry. The Japanese have many techniques that he covet, especially the Japanese assembly technology and some of the Japanese's unique skills, such as the transformation of these Nikon engineers and positioning technology.

These are all things he pays great attention to. If you want to produce a sample, you must pay special attention to accuracy. While using incremental processing technology, the requirements for positioning technology must be very in place. However, this aspect is not our specialty, but it happens to be the expertise of these Japanese engineers...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kochi, our machines and technology are not very good, which caused this failure. Let's do this. Let's wait for us to study for a while. After our technology stabilizes, we will discuss these technologies. What do you think?"

The model of a Buddha statue in front of me looks messy, and it is just a resin powder that is only one level higher than liquid plastic. But that's it, these Chinese 3D printing technologies are a mess.

Looking at the sticky resin material on the nozzle of the machine and the ugly Buddha statue below it of unknown shape, Xiaochi Yifeng smiled coldly, what good things can Chinese people develop.

It seems that I was too trusting to be too ruthless before, so I believed that they had the world's leading 3D printing technology.

Kochi Yifeng is a technical expert photographed by Nikon this time. He specifically aims to understand the depth of 3D printing technology in China. Americans have boasted about it before, but there are also Japanese who have studied this 3D printing technology. Because they have suffered several losses from Americans before, they are not so convinced of this technology. What's more, after personally studying this technology, many Japanese experts believe that this technology is just a gimmick, a useless rib, and has no future for development.

But they didn't know from a single way that they learned that some people in China had developed such a machine, so they came here with the attitude of coming over and giving it a try.

As a result, after arriving in Hanzhong, they couldn't help but feel disappointed. What they heard was that the 3D printer developed by Professor Huaguo could be used for metal processing.

But after they arrived, they realized that this was not the case at all. The professor had been driven out of the school and now he runs a small handicraft factory himself.

What he calls the 3D printing technology that can process metals is actually just a 3D printer that can process the simplest liquid plastics. This thing has been available in Japan and the United States for a long time, and nothing new. As for the metal 3D printer, it seems to exist in legends.

It seems that they have been fooled by these Chinese people again, and they like to brag the most.

The Japanese have always liked to study the habits of Chinese people, from before World War II, and to now, because they have always regarded Chinese people as the enemy of life and death, so they are very familiar with many of the bad habits of Chinese people.

Moreover, these Chinese people are indeed as stupid as ever. When Xiaochi Yifeng brought his team of engineers to Hanzhong, found the professor Huaguo and asked to learn about his 3D printing technology, this guy was not prepared at all, but gave him a little benefit, and this guy actually agreed to open up his technology to them...
