Purpose – An increasing amount of attention is being paid to three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. The technology itself is based on diverse technologies such as laser beams and materials. Hence, 3D printing technology is a converging technology that produces 3D objects using a 3D printer. To become technologically competitive, many companies and nations are developing technologies for 3D printing. So to know its technological evolution is meaningful for developing 3D printing in the future. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – To get technological competitiveness of 3D printing, the authors should know the most important and essential technology for 3D printing. An understanding of the technological evolution of 3D printing is needed to forecast its future technologies and build the R & D planning needed for 3D printing. In this paper, the authors propose a methodology to analyze the technological evolution of 3D printing. The authors analyze entire patent documents related to 3D printing to construct a technological evolution model. The authors use the statistical methods such as time series regression, association analysis based on graph theory, and principal component analysis for patent analysis of 3D printing technology. Findings – Using the proposed methodology, the authors show the technological analysis results of 3D printing and predict its future aspects. Though many and diverse technologies are developed and involved in 3D printing, the authors know only a few technologies take lead the technological evolution of 3D printing. In this paper, the authors find this evolution of technology management for 3D printing. Practical implications – If not all, most people would agree that 3D printing technology is one of the leading technologies to improve the quality of life. So, many companies have developed a number of technologies if they were related to 3D printing. But, most of them have not been considered practical. These were not effective research and development for 3D printing technology. In the study, the authors serve a methodology to select the specific technologies for practical used of 3D printing. Originality/value – Diverse predictions for 3D printing technology have been introduced in many academic and industrial fields. Most of them were made by subjective approaches depended on the knowledge and experience of the experts concerning 3D printing technology. So, they could be fluctuated according to the congregated expert groups, and be unstable for efficient R & D planning. To solve this problem, the authors study on more objective approach to predict the future state of 3D printing by analyzing the patent data of the developed results so far achieved. The contribution of this research is to take a new departure for understanding 3D printing technology using objective and quantitative methods.

The Future

3D printing technology is a rapid prototyping technology, which has been gradually applied in the mechanical automation manufacturing industry. 3D printing technology of mechanical parts is an important development direction of advanced mechanical automation manufacturing technology. At present, the research and development of SLM is a new hotspot in the field of rapid prototyping at home and abroad. The application of this technology can not only reduce the processing time, avoid the resource consumption caused by repeated adjustment of parameters, and make the mechanical manufacturing more accurate, more economical and more efficient. Based on this, this paper focuses on the application of 3D printing technology in mechanical manufacturing automation, and takes SLM as the research object, expounds the basic composition and forming principle of SLM. Based on the comparison of SLM technology at home and abroad, the future development direction of SLM technology is analyzed. At the same time, this paper designs SLM equipment with high efficiency, high cost performance, large range and traditional machining methods. The experimental results show that the 3D printing technology of metal parts is an important development direction of advanced mechanical automation manufacturing technology. The development direction of metal 3D printing in the future is to develop a portable and intelligent 3dslm device with high efficiency, high cost performance, high processing capacity and combination with traditional machining methods.

Artificial intelligence is part of our future and has allowed the creation of truly advanced devices. Now 3D printing technology can also make full use of AI, and with the development of this technology, it is expected to be used in various fields in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This technology can be used not only in manufacturing but also in various fields such as architecture and medical care and is recognized as an essential technology for future generations. Educating the students about the use and impact of 3D technology is even more important than it was ever; however, not enough research has been conducted on specific teaching methods for 3D printing technology education. This paper, therefore, studies the future education method using 3D printing technology for children. The research method of this study is a qualitative research method in which interviews and participant observation methods are used. This qualitative research method was developed by James P. Spradley, an American cultural anthropologist. The findings of this study are as follows. Children can make products easily by using 3D programs and can develop creativity through this product design process. Based on these results, this paper aims to present the curriculum and teaching methods of 3D printing that can be practically utilized in public education courses. This education will be a preparatory step for the micro-manufacturing industry in the future. The findings of this study are helpful in developing the courses of future education.
