How will the 3D image market change the face of manufacturing industry?

After 40 years since the 3D images in the science fiction film “Star War” were put on the screen, 3-dimensional imaging technology has continuously developed and become a trend and is widely applied in production. export industry such as: 3D printing; Augmented reality; Digital twin; Modeling aircraft engines and many other applications, etc.

What is a hologram?

Simply put, a 3-dimensional image is created by measuring the reflection of light on the surface, then continuing to compare when the light on the surface is changed to display information clearly. most roasted. 3D images have a number of different types, but the most commonly applied method is still to use a 3-dimensional hologram. Holocenter, a unit specializing in 3D images, explained that: “Because the 3-D image recording process depends on the type of interference between the optical waves, the 3D image is a comparative shape between these optical waves. 3-dimensional wave interferometer uses this feature to detect the smallest changes in appearance, so it is used a lot in industrial testing.”

According to an analysis by Global Industry Analysts, the world 3D image market will reach about 19.1 billion US dollars in 2020, and the United States will be the leading country in developing this industry with a double growth rate. (CAGR) up to 8.5%.

How to use 3D images in industry?

– Quality management: Along with the fault tolerance in automobile and aircraft manufacturing is declining, digital 3D images are proving it is an effective tool capable of achieving 100% error rate identification. Micro in production within seconds with micrometer accuracy. This technology has helped Wener Giessler GmbH (a supplier to Bosch) increase the number from 6.5 million products to 10 million within a year without any errors.

– Product design: The previous product design was revolutionized by CAD / CAM technology, but with what 3D images can do, the future of this industry will be very promising. 3D imaging technology can create realistic-sized images that make it easier for designers to visualize their products.

– Sample evaluation: With the ability to focus on many different distances, these omnidirectional scanners use multiple lenses so that people can read barcodes at any angle. The scanner uses 3-dimensional images used to speed reading of portable materials, factory tools and packaging.

Small-sized machines: Source Tech says that using 3-dimensional images in their manufacturing technology helps create smaller, more cost-effective machines for the whole family. production and customer use.

– Packaging: From the perspective of marketing, 3-dimensional imaging technology can be used to create eye-catching packaging formats, attracting customers.

– 3D glasses technology: 3D image technology has been used in aircraft display (HUD) and many other modern vehicles to provide operators with necessary information such as maps, weather, etc. In a production environment, HUD can be very useful for diagnosing and repairing machines, as well as providing operational status and incidents for responsible people.
