3D打印在交通工程领域的应用

Application of 3D Printing in Traffic Engineering

摘要:

近几年,由于3D打印技术的快速发展,其应用范围不断扩大,为许多行业的转型升级提供了宝贵的契机。目前3D打印技术广泛应用于航空航天、材料、医疗、汽车、建筑等行业,得到了良好的反馈。因此研究人员开始关注3D打印是否能与交通工程领域相结合。笔者简单总结了3D打印技术的类型与优势,概述了3D打印技术在桥梁工程、道路工程以及轨道交通(主要为铁道方面)三个领域的应用,指出3D打印技术在这三方面的应用大多处于探索阶段,并对3D打印技术在交通工程领域的应用前景进行了展望。

Abstract:

In recent years, due to the rapid development of 3D printing technology, its application has been expanding, which provides a valuable opportunity for the transformation and upgrading of many industries. At present, 3D printing technology is widely used in the aerospace, materials, medical treatment, automobile, construction and other industries, and has received the good feedback. So the researchers are looking at whether 3D printing can be combined with traffic engineering. The types and advantages of 3D printing technology are briefly summarized. The application of 3D printing technology in the bridge engineering, road engineering and rail transit (mainly railway) is overviewed. The application of 3D printing technology in these three aspects is mostly in the stage of exploration. The application prospect of 3D printing technology in the traffic engineering is expected.
