Terry Gou: 3D printing cannot be produced in large quantities for commercial use

Absrtact: 3D printing technology is now a hot word in the IT and manufacturing world. At the 2013 Taiwan flat Display exhibition, 3D printer became a 4k2k and large size television set a bright spot, recently, Japan's home appliance giant Panasonic also plans to use 3D printer to mass production of home appliances products.

3D printing technology is now a hot word in the IT and manufacturing world. At the 2013 Taiwan flat Display exhibition, 3D printer became a 4k2k and large size television set a bright spot, recently, Japan's home appliance giant Panasonic also plans to use 3D printer to mass production of home appliances products.

There is also the media to the three-dimensional printing technology as the third industrial revolution.

But Terry Gou, the boss and chairman of Hon Hai, has the opposite view, according to Taiwan's Lianhe Evening News. He simply said: "If it is really (useful), then my ' Guo ' word is written upside down." ”

Not optimistic about the reason: not mass production, not commercial.

Mr Gou says 3D printing is by no means the third industrial revolution, but a gimmick. 3D printing technology has been developing for a long time, and Hon Hai was using 3D printing technology 30 ago. The reason for the uncertainty is that the technology cannot be produced in large quantities for commercial use and does not have commercial value. He printed the phone as an example to show that it could be made, but it could only be seen and not used. Therefore, 3D printed goods can not be combined with electronic components, can not become the production of electronic products.

Even if you do not make electronic products, but because they can not use the skin material, it is not durable. So Mr Gou thinks it can do a few brilliantly, but it's not productive at all. And broke in a fall.

Mr Gou also said that in the post-PC era, any industry should be able to adapt to market demands because of the rapid integration that should come soon. TSMC is the world's most thorough semiconductor vertical integration company, even the packaging is not fake, and Hon Hai is the best product diversification integration of the company.

Please 3D print practitioners and supporters to the space against?
