USD HP wants to enter 3D printing

Recently, it was learned that Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman said the company has solved a series of technical issues related to 3D printing, and HP is also tentatively scheduled to enter the 3D printing market in June this year, Meg Whitman said that HP will be around this month how Entering the 3D printing market to release “significant technical statements” will stimulate the imagination of investors and consumers.

Friends familiar with the office printing equipment market may understand that many industry observers have focused on HP, Canon, Fuji Xerox and other large players in the industry. When these manufacturers really "landed" 3D printing has become the focus of attention .

In this regard, Whitman said that the R&D personnel have already solved the bottleneck problem of the substrate quality used in the 3D printing process, because the quality of the substrate will affect the durability of the finished product. HP executives expect that by 2021, the global 3D printers and related software and services will reach 11 billion US dollars, far exceeding the 2.2 billion US dollars in 2012.

According to Martin Fink, chief technology officer and lab executive at Hewlett-Packard, Hewlett-Packard Co. is currently exploring many possibilities for 3D printing technology. In fact, the 3D printing market is currently technically immature and Hewlett-Packard will play a more important role in this area. character of. However, industry experts said that although the current 3D printing market is very hot, but because of the high cost of research and development and use of 3D printing, so even though HP will enter the enterprise market and the home printer market led by Makerbot and many other printers, but It will take a period of time before the 3D printing device can completely cover.
