Applications and Prospects of 3D Printing in the Packaging Industry

Abstract

In this paper four 3D printing technologies fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), stereo lithography appearance (SLA), and laminated object manufacturing (LOM) were examined for their characteristics its applications. Technology for 3D printing Since the 1980s, when the field of applications first began to take off, rapid advancement has been made. Materials for 3D printing have been introduced. In order to build items with a variety of shape, size, rigidity, and color, it entails layering materials such as plastics, composites, or biomaterials. Another innovation was the use of 3D printing in the engineering of packaging. It has been noted that the benefits of 3D printing technology in the packaging business are unmatched by other comparable packaging production technologies, and that 3D printing technology has a very broad range of competitive advantage through innovation in the future packaging industry. The development of 3D printing raw material technology determines the development of 3D printing technology Development boundary. It has high requirements on the purity, sphericity, particle size distribution, bulk density, oxygen content, fluidity and other properties of metal powder materials.
