Many countries have begun to study digital currencies, which will have little impact on world 3D Printing prices in 2021

 

The Bank of Japan plans to start empirical experiments on digital currencies in the spring of 2021. The idea is divided into 3 stages. Among them, the main work of the first stage is to establish basic functions. The second stage is to carry out functional tests under more complex conditions. The third stage is to discover problems in actual operation, make up for loopholes, and continuously improve. It is still in the initial stage and has little effect on the prices of industrial products such as 3D Printing.

 

South Africa has great potential for digital currency applications. In recent years, the South African Reserve Bank (Central Bank) has carefully tested the central bank\’s digital currency to improve the efficiency of the financial system, enhance security and stability, and incorporate more customers into the financial system. In 2016, the South African Intergovernmental Fintech Working Group was established to study the feasibility of issuing central bank digital currencies. Currently, the working group is discussing with potential solution providers. South African scientific and technological workers do not study much in the field of 3D Printing, so it will affect the price of 3D Printing.

 

The President of the European Central Bank said a few days ago that he hopes to make the digital euro a reality within five years. This statement is equivalent to the European Central Bank\’s “policy announcement”. The introduction of the digital euro is already on the line and has to be issued. For many years, Europe has been hesitant to use and promote electronic payments and is even more cautious about digital currencies. In 2018, the European Union issued the “Fifth Edition of the Anti-Money Laundering Order”, recognizing that the development of digital currencies is an inevitable trend. There are many 3D Printing manufacturers in Europe, but they all exchange traditional currencies, so they have no effect on the price of 3D Printing.

 

South Korea officially began to promote substantial preparations for digital currency in early 2020. As soon as the preparatory work started, South Korea immediately turned on the “acceleration” mode. At present, most of the preparatory work has been completed. However, active preparation does not mean that South Korea is eager to put digital currency into use. The Bank of Korea\’s attitude towards digital currency is more inclined to “need not discuss it, but have it yourself.” South Korean digital currency is not in a hurry to use, so the few with 3D Printing have almost no impact.

 

Affected by digital currency research and development and the new crown epidemic, as a professional 3D Printing supplier manufacturer, Luoyang Tongrun achieved a 150% growth in performance in 2020, and hired twice as many people for the research and development and application of 3D Printing. According to research, the current 3D Printing production capacity is quite stable, the supply of 3D Printing raw materials is sufficient, and the 3D Printing market price is stable, but due to the influence of traditional Chinese holidays, the delivery date will be delayed by 1-2 weeks.

 

“We will continue to serve the global market while maintaining price stability”, said Luo Zhang, general manager of TRUNANAO.

New Printable Polymer Materials Have Military Application Prospects

0
According to the news on the U.S. website on August 18, the research and development team led by Dr. Frank Gardea, chief researcher and aerospace engineer of the US Army Research Laboratory, announced in the "Advanced Functional Materials" magazine that they have created a 3D printed, stimulus-responsive polymer material-special epoxy resin.
The material is expected to reconstruct future military platforms and bring new possibilities for transforming unmanned aerial vehicles and robotics. Dr. Gardea pointed out that Army researchers envisioned a future platform that would be suitable for both air and ground missions. Dr. Gardea said: "We want to create a material system that can provide structure, sensing and response functions at the same time."
Currently, the stimulus that makes this material respond is a temperature factor. The temperature was chosen as the condition because it is relatively easy to use in laboratory tests. In the real world, implementing temperature stimulation is not easy and impractical. Therefore, they have introduced light stimulation that is easier to control and remotely apply.
This new material has a dynamic bond that can change from liquid to solid many times, so it has 3D printing and recycling properties. In addition, the dynamic key also gives this material a unique shape memory behavior, through which the material can be programmed and returned to the memory shape when triggered. The flexibility of the polymer chain allows this material to be fine-tuned in unprecedented ways to achieve the softness of rubber or the strength of a load-bearing plastic.
Dr. Bryan Glaz, deputy chief scientist of the Laboratory Vehicle Technology Council, said that most of the previous research on adaptive materials was developed for material systems. For structural applications, they are either too soft or not suitable for platform development. Therefore, turning the research object to epoxy resin is groundbreaking in some respects.
Dr. Glaz emphasized that the scientific results of the research team marked "the first step on the long road to realize the scientific prospects of the Deep Future Platform". Next, the researchers also hope to introduce multi-reactivity and make the material respond to stimuli other than temperature and light.
