December 5, 2014, Beijing, China - In the cold wind of Beijing in early winter, the first and fourth council meetings of the Powder Metallurgy Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance (hereinafter referred to as "the Alliance") were held in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Alliance is a non-profit industry-academia-research organization formed in the form of contract based on the Powder Metallurgy Branch of China Steel Structure Association and the Powder Metallurgy Branch of China Machinery and General Components Industry Association, and the important enterprises, research institutes, and universities in the powder metallurgy industry of the United Nations.

　　Under the chairmanship of Chairman Caijang, members of the Council of the Alliance listened to the 2014 annual work summary and 2015 work plan of the Secretary-General of the Alliance, Dr. Han Wei, and jointly considered the financial performance of the Alliance for the year 2014, as well as five proposals, including the proposal of "adding members of the Council of the Alliance, deputy director of the Expert Committee, and deputy secretary-general", and the proposal of "setting up a professional and technical committee on 3D printing". The establishment of the "3D Printing Professional and Technical Committee" and other five proposals. Ltd. and Beijing Longyuan Automatic Forming System Co., Ltd. were appointed as the governing units of the Alliance, and Dr. Zong Guisheng was appointed as the deputy director of the Expert Committee of the Alliance.

　　Among them, the establishment of 3D Printing Professional and Technical Committee has become a highlight of this meeting. The professional committee was formed by technical leaders and experts from dozens of famous domestic enterprises, scientific research institutes, universities and colleges engaged in the R&D, design, production, manufacturing and sales business of 3D printing technology, equipment, materials and downstream application of products. Dr. Zong Guisheng, Chairman of SANDI Printing Technology, was selected as the committee chairman.

　　In recent years, national ministries and commissions have attached great importance to the technological development and upgrading of 3D printing, and industry and information technology have focused on the research and development and industrialization of additive manufacturing, i.e., 3D printing technology, and are taking the lead in formulating the "National Additive Manufacturing Industry Development Advancement Plan (2014-2016)", which is aimed at further promoting the development of downstream industrialization of additive manufacturing technology in the fields of industrial fields, including aerospace and automotive, and medical fields, including medical devices, and consumer products. The 3D Printing Technical Committee will gather leading talents in the industry, innovate cooperation mechanisms, combine industry, academia and research, open up the 3D printing industry chain, make joint efforts to solve the key technological bottlenecks faced in the development of China's 3D printing industry, accelerate the technological innovation and upgrading of new materials and equipment in the industry, expand the scope of application of 3D printing technology, and reduce the application cost. cost. Ultimately, we will help build a 3D printing industry system from powder raw materials to downstream applications, form personalized economies of scale, and realize the arrival of China's "Industry 4.0" era.
