Teacher Zhang Xuefeng believes that the majority of additive manufacturing engineering is one of the majors with great development potential at present.He is a “hard professional” in the national strategic trend. With the popularization of 3D printing technology and the continuous expansion of application areas, the major has an increasingly strong talent demand. He encouraged students who are interested in new technologies and new manufacturing models to actively apply for the exam and stressed that the choice of this major requires a solid mathematical and scientific foundation and a capacity for innovation.
Professional knowledge: Create just like “Cream”
Traditional manufacturing methods are like “sculpture wood”, which transforms raw materials into products finished by cutting, grinding, etc.; While 3D printing is similar to the “cream”, which directly builds objects by stacking the layer materials per layer. This additive manufacturing method considerably reduces material waste while giving products more complex geometric forms and higher designing freedom.
In additive manufacturing engineering, students not only need to learn 3D modeling, material science and the functioning of intelligent manufacturing equipment, but also need to have an interdisciplinary innovative thought. Metal powders, plastic particles with biomaterials, future engineers must select the right materials, as are bakers carefully select raw materials to provide personalized solutions for aerospace parts, medical implants and even personalized foods.
Double wheel traction of policy and market: the prospects of the 3D printing industry
Political support at the national level has laid the basics of rapid development of the additive manufacturing industry. According to the “action plan for the development of the additive manufacturing industry”, by 2025, income from the Chinese 3D printing industry should exceed 200 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of more than 30%.
– Medical field: The size of the 3D printed orthopedic implant market has reached 5 billion yuan, and personalized medical personalization becomes a new growth point.
– AEROSPACE: 30% of the parts of the large national aircraft C919 use 3D printing technology, which considerably reduces manufacturing costs and shorten production cycles.
– High -end manufacturing industry: more and more companies use additive manufacturing technology to promote product innovation and improve basic competitiveness.
According to Zhilian recruitment data, the salary of 3D printing engineering stations has increased by 57% in the past three years, and the annual salary of senior engineers can reach 300,000 to 500,000 yuan. In the future, this industry will always provide generous yields to technical talents.
What type of students is suitable for learning engineering from the manufacture of additives?
Additive manufacturing engineering can be an ideal choice if your child responds to the following qualities:
1. Discipline advantages:
– physics scores greater than 80 points, in particular the mechanical part.
– Strong mathematical logical thinking capacity.
– Have a strong interest in new materials.
2. Character lines:
– as practical experiences and have strong practical skills.
– Have an innovative thought ready to explore new technologies.
– Ability to accept complete interdisciplinary learning.
3. Career expectations:
– I hope to enter the high -end manufacturing industries such as aerospace and medical devices.
– aspires to participate in major national engineering projects.
– Ready from basic positions and to accumulate a practical operating experience.
How to choose the right college and the right course?
School selection:
First step: Huazhong University of Sciences and Technology and Xijiaotong University (985 colleges, strong scientific research force)
Second step: Nanjing Science and Technology, Suzhou University (211 colleges, excellent industrial location)
Star colleges: Polytechnic University XI’an, Hebei University of Technology (Provincial Key, with many job resources)
Course focus:
Basic courses: basics of material science, 3D modeling and simulation, intelligent equipment control
Bonus: Learn Python programming and participate in the innovation and entrepreneurship competition for college students
Professional comparison:
– Compared to the major in mechanical design: additive manufacturing focuses more on digital manufacturing and product customization.
– Compared to the major engineering of materials: Additive manufacturing emphasizes the application scenarios of materials in real manufacturing.
– Compared to the majority of the computer: additive manufacturing requires both the operation of material equipment and production practice.
Zhang XueFeng’s special recall
Although this major has a brilliant future, two points should be ready for attention: first, the learning curve is steep and you must master three types of knowledge in materials, machines and software at the same time; Second, the industry is in an ascending period and you must continue to learn new technologies. Suitable for children who are ready to study and support the difficulties. If their children prefer theoretical research, it is recommended to choose a more mature professional direction.
