3D printing technology is applied in the field of construction and biology

October 16, 2014, 08:22:06, from Xinhua Net

A doctor in the United States uses 3D printing to print out human hearts! A team in Britain printed out a rocket and prepared it for launch next year! A company in the United States says it has used 44 hours to print out a car...... 3D printing has inspired many people, and it has been able to build rockets, pistols, animation models and even fresh, exotic surprises such as food, ice cream and cosmetics. 3D printing is no longer a science fiction thing, and this cool skill is gradually coming out of the dream.

The cost of 3D printing is less than 30 % traditional construction

Yasha employees told the journalist of Securities Daily that their company participate in Yingchuang Technology because of its 3D printing technology, which will improve the speed of industrialization of decoration. In addition, 3D printing houses cost significantly less than traditional building methods and have a lot of market space.

The Times of 3D printing is coming? In Shenying Wanguo’s report, Yingchuang Technology, participated by Yasha, will print and assemble the six-story model room with 3D printing technology by the end of the year.

But this seems to be a "Arabian night," which was affirmed by Dai Yijun, deputy general manager of Yasha Stock.The six-story building, which intercepts six of a 30-storey residential project, has been built in factories and will be assembled by the end of the year.

It is worth noting that the 3D printed architecture has a great advantage in cost, Dai Yijun told reporters. If the foreign or villa items cost less than 50% of the traditional building methods, the cost will save about 30% for ordinary houses. And the more personalized the product, the lower the cost of printing.

3D technology is applied into printing high-rise buildings

The 3D printing house is printed in the factory floor layer by layer and then assembled on the project site. It is mainly to print the architectural structure. The decorative parts of the windows should be produced apart. Dai Yijun unveiled the most concerned question in the industry. Dai yijun further revealed that this technology is based on BIM technology , equal to its design stage. And 3D technology can complete the construction of production and installation.

Now the company's shares of Yingchuang technology are printing a single-family villa with 1,100 square meters for Tomson Riviera. Mr. Dai told our reporter that Yingchuang had previously worked with developers such as vanke, mainly in technical cooperation. In addition, Dai Yijun said that many developers now pay more attention to 3D printing houses. So Yingchuang technology needs to take out a sample first, so that it has the possibility to copy and expand this part of the business.

In fact, according to research from Shenyin Wanguo, Yingchuang technology will also print a 20-story office tower in Beijing and Shanghai.

“3D printing of high-rise buildings is the global initiative of Yingchuang.” Dai Yijun told our reporter that similar technology abroad is in the laboratory stage.

Research from Shenyin Wanguo said that 3D printed buildings have more material strength than concrete, and the more complex and luxurious houses, the lower the overall cost, and the better quality. The core advantage of 3D printing architecture is the low comprehensive cost, fast speed, energy saving and environmental protection, and the convenience of making the special-shaped parts.

For this, Dai Yijun told our reporter that the 3D printing of buildings not only has innovation in technology, but also the cost is much lower than the traditional construction method. If the foreign or villa items cost less than 50% of the traditional building methods, the cost will save about 30% for ordinary houses. And the more personalized the product, the lower the cost of printing.

In addition, 3D printing houses can break through the bottleneck of climate and time constraints. In winter, the north is not allowed to work in the climate, but 3D printing can be built all year round and can shorten the construction period. Dai Yijun told our reporter that the single-family villa, printed by Tomson, only need a one-month period from the start of the printing process to the completion of the assembly.

Speed up the industrialization of decoration industry

It is worth noting that Yingchuang science and technology is a joint-stock investment by Yasha stock in September. On September 10, the company announced plans to acquire a 26 % stake in Yingchuang technology by taking equity and capital increase with its own capital of 154 million yuan. The company hopes to get involved in 3D printing architecture by participating in Yingchuang Technology.

It is reported that Yingchuang technology is the exclusive inventor and application promoter of 3D printing of decorative parts of building 3D printing, which is the first in China. Among them, the decorative parts have been successfully applied to more than 400 famous construction projects, such as water cube and the city hall of Shanghai.

In addition, the company said in the announcement that the core technology of Yingchuang building technology will reduce the company's production cycle, installation cycle, production cost and labor cost.

“It is a strategic investment because it will speed up the industrialization of the company's main industry.” Dai Yijun told our reporter that 3D technology is very valuable to the company and is expected to benefit from a strategic investment perspective.

More significantly, because of the huge cost advantage of 3D printing technology, many developers in China are focusing on its development. If the project entity of the 3D printing of Yingchuang technology building is to be implemented, the business will have the basis of large-scale and rapid expansion.

“At that time, the company does not rule out the possibility of additional investment”. People close to the company told securities daily.

In addition, the company acquired a 65% stake in Xiamen Wan’an intelligent Co.,Ltd for 366 million yuan before participating in Yingchuang Technology, entering into the field of smart buildings and smart home.

In this regard, industry professionals have said that it is not hard to see that Wan’an intelligent and Yingchuang technology are two important pieces of the strategic transformation for Yasha stock. ( Journalist Wang Lixin)
