HP June enters commercial 3D printing market technical problem solved

[Abstract] Whitman said HP researchers have solved the problem of the quality of substrates used in the 3D printing process. Hewlett-Packard CEO Whitman Tencent Technology Mowgli March 20 compiled HP CEO Whitman (Meg Whitman) said to shareholders at the annual general meeting in Tuesday that the company had resolved a series of technical problems that restricted 3D printing. Plans will be made to enter the commercial 3D print market this June. Ms Whitman said HP would launch a "major technical statement" around how to enter the 3D print market this month, which would inspire the imagination of investors and consumers. Market critics have previously pointed out that the current sci-fi version of the 3D printing technology has been too much hype, is far from being widely used for consumers. Industry watchers have long expected large printer manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard, Canon and Xerox to eventually enter the 3D print market. Whitman said HP researchers have solved the problem of the quality of the substrate used in the 3D printing process, because the quality of the substrate will affect the durability of the manufactured product. "In fact, we think we have solved these problems," she said. At the enterprise level, the 3D print market is larger. HP executives expect the global 3D printers and related software and services to reach $11 billion trillion by 2021, well over $2.2 billion trillion over 2012 years. The 3D print market, which is still in its infancy, is dominated by small companies like MakerBot. MakerBot is currently working to sell to consumers the equipment they can accept. Flextronics and other foundry manufacturers have already started using 3D printing technology to make accessories or equipment prototypes for corporate customers. "HP is currently exploring the possibilities of 3D printing, and we will play an important role in the development of this technology," said Martin Fink, Hewlett-Packard chief technology Officer and laboratory executive Martin Fink, in a blog post posted on the company's website this February. In fact, 3D printing is still a less mature technology, but it has a magical aura. The idea of making things in a sci-fi movie makes 3D print technology appealing to people. ”
