Blacksmith Tech CEO: Consumer 3D printing faces resin challenges

Blacksmith Technology CEO Gui Peiyan discussed the challenges of bringing resin-based 3D printing to consumers, citing difficulties in managing liquid resins and controlling chemical reactions in home environments. He highlighted the company's focus on developing new, user-friendly, and safe photopolymerization technologies that offer high precision and true color capabilities. For the dental market, Blacksmith's competitive edge lies in its precision, stability, and a comprehensive solution package that includes equipment, materials, and services, significantly reducing client rework rates.

    CEO对谈

    硬氪:目前市场上消费级3D打印多以FDM技术为主,光固化技术做消费级产品时的技术难点和卡点在哪里? 桂培炎: 从国内主流的DLP和LCD技术来说,想把它在消费级的门槛降低,短期内很难。因为光固化涉及液态树脂的处理和管理,耗材处理的难度远远大于FDM对于线材这种固体的处理。其次,光固化打印是化学变化,在家庭等消费级场景中,把化学变化变得可控本身就很难。 所以,我们需要通过颠覆式创新去自研新的光固化技术,让它既具备FDM级别的易用性、安全性,又具备光固化特有的表面质量、超高精度,再配合大家渴求的真全彩、真3D能力,这样才有可能真正撬动大众maker、小创业者
