As technology develops by leaps and bounds, mankind is experiencing an unprecedented digital and information technology revolution. Countries across the world are taking additive manufacturing as the new growth point for industrial development in the upcoming days, in a bid to speed up the integration of additive manufacturing and information network technology, new material technology as well as ideas of new design. Global manufacturing and consumption model is starting to reshape. Against this backdrop, the additive manufacturing is embracing great development opportunities.

Additive manufacturing (also called as 3D printing), based on the digital model, is a newly emerged manufacturing technology by piling materials layer by layer and make the physical material, which exerts a deep influence on traditional process, production line, factory model and mix of industrial chain. Additive manufacturing allows these parts to be more freely designed, bringing more possibilities for key technological breakthroughs and the improvement of performance metrics.

Additive manufacturing serves as the core driving force against the background of Industry4.0. Intelligent and digital network systems form the basis of Industry 4.0, involving a complete process of powerful processors, digital sensors and real-time networks. Such technologies make it possible to achieve the self-organized production: “in Industry 4.0, people, machines, factories, logistics, and products can communicate and cooperate directly with each other. The optimization of network is not just relating to a step of production step, but the entire value chain. Network shall also cover all phases of the life circle of products.” (see wikipedia) With personalized trends and rapidly changing needs, companies must respond by increasing production flexibility and new business models.

China has put additive manufacturing as a key to development in the Made in China 2050. In 2017, a total of 12 ministries and organizations including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly drafted and released the Operation Plan, requiring that by 2020, the annual sale of additive manufacturing shall overtake 20 billion RMB with over 30% growth per year.

This remains a big challenge, a significant opportunity to rethink everything. We need to truly reimagine our products, to think and innovate, reform factories, change the process of manufacturing and reshape the business model, making it possible the customized manufacturing at a large scale. It also incorporates the depth of processing, technology improvement and industrial upgrading; these efforts shall be guided by advanced productivity and way of production.

Under the development strategy of "Made In China 2025",Beijing Fengtai District People's Government attaches great importance to the additive manufacturing pulling strength of advanced manufacturing industry,to increase additve manufacturing leading scientific and technological innovation, based on the existing industries in the zone to introduce material manufacture, its efficient, parallel, such as, integrated features to the existing industries, and biological medical, aerospace industry, education, building is combined with such as depth, vigorously develop production, with the innovation of the ecological system and the balanced development of the industrial chain. On this basis, further response of twelve departments concerning on “The Additive Manufacturing Industry Development Action Plan (2017-2020) ", the industry development of new goals and new tasks, new initiatives, the joint Beijing science and technology commission, Beijing economic and information commission jointly held "2018 Addtive Manufacturing Global Innovation Competition", will be officially kicked off on August 2018.

"2018 Addtive Manufacturing Global Innovation Competition", focus on “The Additive Manufacturing Industry Development Action Plan (2017-2020) ",referred to in the key manufacturing areas such as education, medical treatment, culture creativity, innovation, aims to add material in the field of mining applied in these manufacturing (3D printing) new technologies, new processes, new equipment, new materials, new products, including: 1, Projects that enter the pilot test phase or have passed this phase and will be put into application, production, or integrated into formation of new products or processes; 2, Projects that may facilitate upgrades in traditional industries or contribute to developing technologies, products and projects of additive manufacturing; 3, Innovative technologies and research projects with future prospect; 4, Technical results to be released for the first time at international or domestic levell; 5, Development and application of 3D printing software; 6, Flexible manufacturing design and products of 3D printing; 7, Cutting-edge technologies, products and projects that integrate additive manufacturing technologies, aimed at mining additive manufacture in the field of application of actual results and important potential, dig a broader application scenarios, and thus increase material manufacturing technology in the application of the industry, promote the transformation of technological achievements, to improve the process of industrialization, perfecting the construction of the ecological system, link to the global market.
