Key innovations
The innovation of this product lies in using the military technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to master the core technology of preparing 3D printed metal powder with supersonic airflow and achieve localization. This breaks the dependence on imported high-priced powders, significantly reduces costs, stabilizes prices, and in turn promotes the popularization of 3D printing technology and industrial upgrading, which has significant economic and strategic value.
Potential economic benefits
This technology can produce high-performance 3D printing metal powder, break import monopoly, significantly reduce costs, and expand the domestic 3D printing market. The international market can be opened up in the future, with huge economic benefits.
Potential climate benefits
Promote 3D printing technology, reduce material waste, optimize product design, and replace imports to reduce transportation carbon emissions.

Solution details

The development of 3D printing is in the ascendant. Metal 3D printing has made some impossibilities in machining possible, and this technology is also being rapidly promoted. With the popularization of 3D metal printing technology and the rationalization of its price, its demand has increased exponentially. However, since the know-how of processing metal powder for printing has not yet been mastered by the Chinese people, they still rely on imports, and the price is more than a hundred times that of raw materials.

The previous research of this achievement was to make military spherical powder at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Key technologies have been mastered. The high speed, low temperature, low pressure and pulse of supersonic air flow can be used to make 3D printed metal powder of other materials. Product and target positioning: 3D printing metal powder materials can stabilize prices, enable printing processing technology to be promoted, replace imports, and promote demand. On the premise of meeting the needs of the domestic market, we strive to expand the international market through international cooperation and other means.
