The salary, CNC operator is about 4,000 RMB ~ 20,000 RMB per month, a experienced CNC operator can over 8,000 ~ 20,000 RMB per month in China factory ... this's current pay for Chinese skilled workers. This is Today China

 

[cnleio]

Just give a simple compare between the salary of Chinese skilled workers with Apple's Iphone6 Plus phone ... sold 5,000+ RMB in online shops of Taobao.com, a 4,000 ~ 20,000 RMB salary CNC operator can buy 1~4x Iphone6 Plus per month working inside China factories, this's current payment for most Chinese skilled workers.

So what can advanced machine tools (CNC / 3D Printer) do ? Make the Future, the Robot !

@yoshi.oda as the Mechanical Engineer, pls give me some suggestions about these machine tools in this thread. I ever visted FOXCONN / ZTE and other Chinese factories ... here displayed the working environment what today Chinese skilled workers did, there'r many CNC digital machine tools around here just like showed in posts. What about situation in Japan factory ?

Here i have a question, how those animate mock-up made in Japan, handcrafted or machine ? Any producing photo ? Ths !

WEISTEK unveils ultra-fast desktop 3D printer 'IdeaWerk-Speed', reaching print speed of 450 mm/s

July 30, 2015 | By Alec

In a market full of slightly different FDM desktop 3D printers, some are bound to be a bit faster or slower than others, but have you ever seen a 3D printer finish a complete bracelet in just eight minutes? For that is exactly what a new machine developed by a company in the Southern Chinese city of Shenzhen has developed. Called the IdeaWerk-Speed, this 3D printer was developed by Weistek Technology, and has just been revealed at the 4th annual Shenzhen International Trade Fair for the Electronic Equipment Industry on 29 July.

For those of you who’ve never heard of Weistek, this company was founded in 2011 and quickly grew out to become a leading figure in the development and manufacturing of consumer-grade desktop 3D printers, 3D printable filament and software in China. Two years ago, they opened up a new production site of 4000 square meters in Shenzhen to meet a growing demand for 3D printers, and the rest of us can now reap the benefits of those developments with the WEISTEK IdeaWerk-Speed 3D printer.

The chip at the heart of the WEISTEK IdeaWerk-Speed 3D printer.

This exciting new 3D printer was unveiled by the company’s founder and CEO dr. Chen Wen Juan, who also showed the remarkably quickly 3D printed bracelet. During the unveiling, she further revealed that the chip inside WEISTEK IdeaWerk-Speed 3D printer, WEISTEK No. 1, is capable of increasing desktop 3D printing speeds by 5 up to 10 times, making the machine a very competitive product in the global market. The company believes this will also speed up the adoption of 3D printing technology by consumers and businesses across China.

WEISTEK’s founder and CEO dr. Chen Wen Juan

Obviously 3D printing has been seen in all shapes and forms – from the toys we print at home to aerospace parts at NASA – but all 3D printers suffer from similar speed restrictions. ‘Focusing on the industry’s challenges, the WEISTEK European Research and Development Center spent three years developing the world's first 3D printer that specifically features high speed print chips. The WEISTEK IdeaWerk-Speed 3D printer is the world’s first FDM high speed 3D printer,’ Dr Chen Wen Juan said during the press conference. Remarkably, this desktop 3D printer can reach speeds of up to 450 mm/s, whereas most 3D printers in the consumer bracket reach print speeds of anywhere between 40 to 100 mm/s – it thus features an increase of anywhere between five to ten times.

It is believed that the core behind this 3D printer’s success is its control panel. The hardware used by the WEISTEK IdeaWerk-Speed 3D printer can more quickly and accurately control motion and control signals sent during 3D printing, essentially optimizing the response to software signals. Dr. Chen Wen Juan illustrated this remarkable development with a 3D printed bracelet – that can take anywhere up to an hour to 3D print on regular machines – which only took eight minutes on the WEISTEK. Waiting time thus becomes far shorter (and more durable for us), while also improving a machine’s efficiency and practicality.

Coinciding with the release of this high speed 3D printing machine, the Shenzhen company has also developed a complete set of high speed 3D printing software and PLA suitable for high speed printing. They have also integrated a large library of creative 3D models into their software to enable users to completely benefit from reduced 3D printing times. The new 3D printer has also been designed for intuitive use, including an LCD touch panel for one-click 3D printing.

While the abilities of this new 3D printer thus look pretty great, the price tag isn’t beyond the reach of typical consumers either. Chen Wen Juan argued that a typical low-end machine in China costs just over 3,000 RMB, while this high speed desktop 3D printer is about to enter the market in September with a price tag of no more than 10,000 RMB (approximately $1600). Not bad, right? The supporting printing materials will also be released in September, though pre-orders have already begun.

WEISTEK is further aiming towards to educational market with a children’s program. ‘We have also launched a “Children’s 3D dream factory” this summer, a training course very popular with children,’ Chen Wen Juan said. ‘With the help of a professional teacher and explanations, children already begin using 3D modeling software on the first day of the program to design key chains, cups, airplanes and more. If you’re interested in 3D printing, it really becomes simple and fun.’

During the press conference, WEISTEK further revealed that they have signed a strategic cooperation agreement with leading children’s publishing company Yangtze River Children’s Group. The two parties will work together to develop a 3D creative cloud platform to provide an optimal digital solution for 3D design and printing services for children. WEISTEK will have the exclusive rights in the 3D printing and scanning applications concerning the content of the Yangtze River Children’s Group’s picture books, comics and fairy tales – perfect for children.

Chinese researchers make breakthrough in SLA 3D printing, soon be able to 3D print porcelain teeth in minutes

July 31, 2015 | By Alec

While 3D printed medical applications are slowly invading hospitals all over the globe, a remarkable number of Chinese hospitals, surgeons and research institutes are quickly adopting this fantastic technology. Just last week, we saw how an old Chinese man successfully recovered from a dangerous surgery with the help of 3D printing, but now an even more technological innovation has appeared in China. Yesterday, scientists from the Guangzhou Nansha Additive Manufacturing Technology Research Institute have unveiled a new SLA 3D printing technique that can be used to create detailed porcelain (and other ceramic) objects quickly.

The research team over at the Nansha Additive Manufacturing Technology Research Institute in Guangzhou spent over a year developing this new 3D printer, and is currently in the debugging stage. While the unveiling is expected to take place in the very near future, it has already been leaked to reporters that the 3D printing speed is several times faster than comparable machines, while this 3D printer is also capable of working with a very large variety of materials, including ceramics, metal filler materials and more. Among its possible applications is a the fantastic medical solution of 3D printed porcelain teeth.

Xu Xiaoshu

According to the Institute’s Director XU Xiaoshu, this new and exciting 3D printer represents a breakthrough in the field of traditional SLA 3D printing technology. For those of you that are a bit hazy about how SLA (or Stereolithography) functions, it essentially revolves around a vat of liquid ultraviolet sensitive photopolymer resin. An UV laser is subsequently used to build parts one layer at a time by tracing cross sections of the part pattern onto the surface – exposure solidifies the layer and adjoins it to previous layers below. Afterwards, the elevator platform descends by an equal distance to the thickness of a layer (0.05 mm to 0.15 mm) and recoats the surface with another layer of material. This process is repeated until the part is complete.

According to Xu, traditional SLA 3D printing process comes with three issues. Firstly, the material has high liquidity requirements, and can therefore only be made with a thin material, such as resin and plastic. This means abandoning high viscosity materials. Secondly, the workpiece after forming needs to be scraped - something that requires strong and accurate supports to fix the part, which needs to be subsequently and affects the piece (damaging the surface and so on). This obviously also costs material. And finally, the slow 3D printing speed forms a major bottleneck on the usefulness of SLA 3D printing. Especially the material spreading process takes up to 10 seconds – meaning that the 3D printing of a small object (with thousands of layers, sometimes up to 100,000) takes a very long time.

Xu Xiaoshu argues that their brand new SLA 3D printer will solve all three problems. Firstly, they have made a breakthrough in materials that can be used through high pressure extrusion. This increases the viable viscosity range about five or six times, paving the way for a large number of available materials. Think about ceramics, biomaterials, metal composites and more.

Secondly, due to the use of highly viscous materials the processes of extrusion and formation are separated and there is therefore less need for support materials. Not only does this simplify production and post-print processing, it also reduces costs by about 10 to 20 percent. And thirdly, this also greatly speeds up the 3D printing process in its entirety. Layer extrusion on their upcoming 3D printer takes only a second per layer – cutting the extrusion time down by up to 90 percent. And as layering itself takes up half of the entire printing process, the overall 3D printing speed almost doubles.

In short, this upcoming SLA 3D printer has all the characteristics to become a huge success. Xu Xiaoshu further revealed that the machine can be used to 3D print objects up to 800 by 400 mm in size, while the high precision qualities make it a perfect option fort the 3D printing of ceramic, biomaterials and metal composites – so porcelain teeth, metal instruments and even medical applications are all viable options.

Especially the porcelain teeth could become a real medical breakthrough, as these are currently very time consuming and expensive to develop. Traditionally, it requires a number of skilled workers to cut, wash, mill and grind teeth to perfect, taking hours with high costs involved. 3D printed automated production could those be a significant dental breakthrough. More information about this exciting machine will doubtlessly follow in the near future.
