PUBLISHER'S MESSAGE AUGUST 2014

Dear readers: Summer has always been a busy time for most of us! While tending to ongoing business activities, many simultaneously have children off at summer programs or getting ready for school in the fall. However, while still busy, the slightly slower pace of the season lends itself to more quality bonding time. The same principle may be applied to our businesses. With social media channels widely accessible, it offers the opportunity to engage with our clients and customers. Take advantage of this time and create some quality bonding, be it with your family and/or with your colleagues. Meanwhile, in the aftermarket arena, there have been lots of happenings for us to keep our summer busy and engaged: Cloverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merging with MSE; Canon's legal claims against 30+ aftermarket companies; and the demystified definition of "clone" vs "new built". To get a glimpse into these issues, please read our quarterly WeSay Report, compiled by Steve Weedon on page 12, Mega Merger Mania by Charlie Brewer on page 18, and The Top 15 SEO Practices for Ranking on Baidu by Curt Keller on page 24. While Recharge Asia has also been busy preparing for its RechargExpo Thailand 2014, actively engaging with local dealers and distributors and promoting heavily among select IT computer malls, we have also launched our new 3D printing conference with industry leading players, such as Materalise and Stratasys. We are proud of the initiative we put into offering the 2D printing industry an opportunity to learn and seek new possibilities in the new and emerging 3D printing world. I encourage you to get involved by participating in our newly launched 3D printing conference, August 28-29, at IMPACT Thailand, alongside RechargExpo Thailand 2014. Enjoy the rest of your summer and stay cool!

Hewlett-Packard Accuses Datel Holdings of Scheme to Provide Trade Secrets to Clone Makers Static Control Releases Statement Regarding Upcoming Case Sanford, N.C. – (June 30, 2014) – Static Control stands proudly behind the innovative and patented technologies they have developed in order to offer replacement chips for HP® ink jet cartridges without breaching the intellectual property of the OEM. The $30 million lawsuit HP filed against Datel Holdings on June 23 further validates the value and importance of investing in reverse engineering and respect for intellectual property. In the official complaint, HP claims that Datel schemed to misappropriate trade secrets involving the master key codes on ink jet chips, allowing Datel to develop non-genuine chips for use on cartridges. “We don’t scheme at Static Control. We don’t misappropriate. We develop our chip technology in-house. We manufacture our chips in-house. We understand the importance of knowing your supply chain, and that’s why we do it ourselves. We are our supply chain,” said Bryan Bonacum, Vice President of North American Sales. “We stand by our products and will be happy to answer questions about our products or process.” He continued, “You can’t just look at a chip and see the IP that is involved. You can’t see the difference between respectfully reverse-engineered technology and technology that has been developed illegally. That’s why it comes down to knowing and trusting your chip supplier. HP alleges chip companies who sell to clones got their technology from Datel. I think remanufacturers need to ask themselves who Datel Holdings was involved with and how much they really know about the chips they purchase.” Bonacum added, “HP has been vigorously defending their IP. At Static Control, we respect the intellectual property of OEMs and protect our own innovations through patents. Cases like this are good for the aftermarket if it helps rid the industry of patent infringing products and clone cartridges.” Static Control has long advocated the importance of knowing the supply chain of products to avoid patent and IP infringement. “Ask for it in writing that they developed the technology and reverse-engineered their own chips. We will gladly do that,” Bonacum said. “It is truly shocking that after all this time and all the lawsuits there are still companies that do not respect the IP of others.”

Xerox India Expects 2030% Growth in Services Business Xerox India said it expected its print services business to grow by 20-30% over the next five years and account for more than 50% of total revenues, the unit’s managing director Rajat Jain said. This will be in line with the developments in Xerox’s global operations, where services already account for more than half of sales. Jain said that while the global print product market is flat at the moment, in India it is still registering growth. However, this growth is within the single-digit range, at between 4-7%. Xerox India is therefore focusing on expanding its print services operations, launching services such as Document Transaction Processing, to add to its already existing Managed Printing Services. Both of these services aim to provide clients with the opportunity to reduce the costs of these functions.

Patent Wars, Acquisition Sprees the Mark of 3D Printing 3D printing has been developing extremely dynamically in the last few years, fueling increasing competition. To counter this, market leaders such as 3D Systems and Stratasys have gone on acquisitions sprees, with 3D Systems buying 39 sector players over the last four years alone. Acquisitions have strategic importance, since they come with fresh patents and other intellectual property, allowing big players to maintain their leading position. The second main driver for the industry’s development has been the expiration of many patents, a development that has significantly boosted open source innovation and, consequently, further competition. This has in turn spurred faster innovation among market leaders and has pressured prices further down. This new innovation has resulted in new patents, helping the leaders maintain their position. A major challenge for the current rulers of the 3D industry is the entry of 2D printing giants into their playing field. HP recently announced it is gearing up to enter the 3D printing industry at the end of 2014, and Epson has also said it has plans about it. These companies have significant resources, much greater than those of 3D Systems or Stratasys, that will make the diversification smooth, either through acquisitions or organically. However you look at it, the 3D printing market is still immature, most of its development is ahead, so the only way current leaders can maintain their position is by capitalizing on the fact they were the first on this market, pouring more investments in R&D, constantly innovating and accumulating as big a market share as they can, organically and through acquisitions.

Asia Eyes Leadership on 3D Printing Market The US is still the front-runner of the global 3D printing industry but players from Asia are looking to the leadership spot, according to Alan Meckler, the founder of the 3D Printing and Technology Fund. Sharing his impressions from a recent 3D print industry event in Seoul, the media tycoon said that many startups in the region are investing heftily in research and development in the area of 3D printing. One of them, Rokit, says it will become the biggest 3D printing company by 2017, though it currently has only 50 employees. What’s more interesting is that the big players in the West,

MARKET SEGMENTS

such as 3D Systems and Stratasys, seem to be unaware of and uniterested in Asian developments. A case in point is China’s increased interest in 3D printing. The technology has a huge disruptive potential for the world’s top manufacturer and perhaps the only way to avoid this disruption is for China to embrace 3D printing and become the leader in it too. The government is already supporting the industry with a specially set up fund of 200 million yuan, to be supported by contributions from local governments. The fund has been used for ten 3D printing R&D centers. Though the future is still uncertain, it may be wide for the big boys on the 3D print playing field to keep an eye on Asia.

Chinese 3D Printer Can Make Life-Size Human Replicas A 3D printer manufactured by Chinese Qingdao Unique Products Develop can make life-size replicas of human beings, in yet another signal that China is actively working on closing the gap with Western 3D industry players. Officially presented at the Second World 3D Printing Technology Industry Conference and Exposition, the Anyprint machine can make exact wax replicas of people. The company plans to make it available to businesses around the world. According to the company, their product will change the game for “cultural and creative markets”.

Mota Joins Low-Cost 3D Printer Makers Consumer electronics producer Mota has designed a cheap 3D printer that the company claims has none of the disadvantages associated with this class of printers, such as low resolution, limited features and small print area. Mota launched a Kickstarter funding campaign for the printer, which is expected to be priced at $599 and which should hit markets this October, if Mota succeeds in getting the $100,000 it needs to commercialize its design. Mota specializes in smartwatches and mobile accessories and claims that its 3D printer is not just cheaper but also has better specifications than the $2,199 MakerBot Replicator. These specifications include printed object dimensions of up to 6.10”x 6.10”x 6.5”, using either polylactic acid or ccrylonitrile butadiene styrene filament. It has a layer resolution of 100 microns and can print at speeds of 60 mm/sec to 120 mm/sec.

China 3D Printer Maker Opens Plant in Alabama

When it first emerged as technology, 3D printing was used for prototyping only, presenting a faster, cheaper alternative to the traditional prototype-building process. But since then, 3D printing has expanded into a huge variety of industries, from aerospace and engineering to fashion and food.

Chinese Nanjing Zijin-Lead Electronics said it will this month cut the ribbon on a new manufacturing plant in Dothan, Alabama. The general manager of the business unit that will operate the plant, Lian Ning, said the choice was in large part determined by the welcoming town authorities. Dothan mayor Mike Schmitx, for his part, said that the town offers great opportunities in terms of labor and energy costs as well as property prices.

According to Cuban, 3D printing is not a threat to conventional manufacturing since it is still much more time-consuming and unit costs are much higher than for traditional manufacturing. Its main advantage is that it can complement these traditional processes. 3D printing can boost the efficiency of product development, machine maintenance and and spare parts supplies.

The plant will create around 50 jobs for the Dothan population. It is part of a large-scale drive among Chinese manufacturing businesses to set up production capacity in the US South, including the states of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas and Florida, besides Alabama.

The main growth drivers for the 3D printing industry are the falling prices of the finished products and the recent expiration of patents held by the leading players in the 3D printing field. With lower market prices combined with a growing range of filaments that can be used, and with the expiration of patents that will press prices further down, 3D printing is in for a major global boom in the next few years.

Lewihe Unveils Fast, Lightweight 3D Printer Startup Lewihe has presented a 3D printer that claims to score high on all four major criteria for these machines: speed, accuracy, price and ease of use. At 8.5 kg, the Lewihe printer is also very lightweight, thanks to its aluminum frame. The printer uses fused deposition modeling technology and can work with PLA, ABS, Laywood and Filaflex filaments at speeds of up to 150 mm/s for the latter filament. It has a layer resolution of 50 microns and a building envelope of 185 x 185 x 185 mm. It uses open source software and has Wi-Fi and an onboard camera. With a price tag of just 599 euro ($815), Lewiheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s printer could have a very promising future.

Global Interest in 3D Printing Rises, Market Set for Boom Research consultancy IDC has reported that interest in 3D printing is growing around the world, most notably in regions such as Central and Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The reason for this growing popularity, according to Martin Cuban, a senior analyst at IDC, is that 3D printers are becoming increasingly versatile.

www.rechargeasia.com

Education, Demonstration Key to 3D Marketing Educating customers about what 3D printers can do and demonstrating how they do it is the key to their successful marketing, according to Ricohâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing manager Murray Clark. The 3D printing industry is set for huge growth, with the market size reaching some $8.4 billion in the next decade, but it is still something new for the average consumer, despite the fact that one of the developments in the industry has been to come up with cheaper, more affordable models. Unlike the marketing of traditional printers, 3D machines are best seen in action and educating potential customers about the full range of their applications is also a must, says Clark. Also, people often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where they could get the files from which they can print the object they need, or what is the software that will allow them to make their own designs. People would be happy to find out that there is a variety of websites with free-to-download 3D designs, as well as free software to develop your own designs. Educating consumers about the myriad functions of 3D printing will serve to support the trend of making the technology mainstream.

Recycled Filaments, Paper Make 3D Printing Greener 3D printing is certainly making a name for itself these days but there is one important issue that’s throwing a shadow over this booming business, and that’s the fact that currently, 3D printers use as the most common filament non-biodegradable plastics. The human plastic footprint is already too large and industry players are seeking ways to make their machines greener and finding them. One innovation is to use plastic but recycled plastic, something which 3D Systems has done with its Ekocycle Cube printer. Although just a fourth of the filament is from recycled plastics, it is still better than no recycled content at all. But 3D Systems is not the only one working on the issue.

and print head. The printer is also equipped with a proprietary coated glass print table which allows for easy removal of the printed object after printing. The printer complies with CE and FCC requirements and is endorsed by an external testing laboratory. The CE Certification confirms products are free from toxic/hazardous materials. The FCC Certification is a US safety standard which is required for sales to the US market. The printer has also passed the China National Quality Supervising Test for Consumables of Printing and Office Automation and meets the requirement of Enterprise Standard and product specifications. Print-Rite has co-developed the PLA and ABS filament with experts in the US. The PLA and ABS filament is the essence of the technology for precision output and avoids clogging of nozzle. The filaments meet the REACH requirement – product is free from harmful/hazardous materials with reproductive toxicity, carcinogenicity and genotoxicity.

In India, an organization called Protoprint is collecting plastic waste and converting it into usable 3D printing filament. Given projections that the annual consumption of plastic filaments could exceed one million kilograms by the end of the current year, choosing to use this ethical filament could be one way to be responsible about the environment. The ethical filament is available to order online.

During the first month of its launch, the CoLiDoTM Desktop 3D Printer has gained positive feedback and wide recognition in the market. Print-Rite respects R&D and innovation; there is an extensive road map for new models to meet known and expected customer demand.

Better still, why not just replace plastic with paper? Ordinary office paper is used by Mcor Technologies in their selective deposition lamination process. This is a cheaper, more ecofriendly alternative to plastic filaments and has none of the harmful, toxic components of the plastic. What’s more, the objects printed with this technology look just as good as any other 3D printed item with the added advantage that Mcor’s technology allows for using millions of different colors.

The 3D printing industry has been spending a lot of time and money to advertise and market its products among schoolgoers, with a view to the future when much talent in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) will be needed. Across the world, schools are partnering with 3D printer manufacturers to encourage children’s interest in this technology, by setting up specific projects that kids can take part in and feel they have contributed to the greater good. One such project in Illinois had the goal of making a prosthetic for a girl who had no fingers on her left hand. The 3D printed hand was significantly cheaper than a traditional prosthetic that would have been unaffordable for the girl’s parents. In the UK, a special Engineering Education Scheme has been set up, involving 3D printing projects, aiming to encourage more girls to choose a career in STEM. What these projects have in common is that they unfailingly demonstrate how important it is to get a child interested in something innovative at an early age. It broadens the mind since it gives them a glimpse into an area they may have never before considered interesting. In view of the still significant gender gap in STEM and the increasing need for talent in the field, such initiatives could not have been more timely or necessary.

Tinkerine Advances 3D Printing in Schools

precision metal parts. While the metal printer will enhance the company’s 3D printed product offering, the quality inspection systems it has developed will serve to keep inspection and part rejection costs low.

Canadian 3D printing major Tinkerine has launched an initiative called Tinkerine U, aimed at advancing education about the technology at every school. The initiative’s managing director says 3D printing could become the core of a “comprehensive active learning approach” as it provides students with problemsolving skills that will be essential for their future.

India 3D Printing Market to Grow by 1/5 until 2019

The Tinkerine U project involves online 3D printing training courses, combined with professional lesson plans and library resources as well as an extensive portfolio of educational 3D printing models, all developed in partnership with technology content provider Ready Labs. Now Tinkerine is looking for schools to be its educational partners in the initiative, offering incentives in the for m of a 3D printer they can choose themselves and free access to the course materials and library.

Locally Made 3D Printer Gets Piece of Japanese Market The first Japanese-made 3D printer has managed to secure a place for itself on the competitive electronics market in the country. The Buccaneer was developed by Pirate3D, a startup that managed to raise $1.4 million on Kickstarter. Then, last month, it go the Best Product prize in the 3D category at the US Consumer Electronics Show. Now the company has inked a deal with a major Japanese retailer that will display the Buccaneer at 200 of its outlets for demonstration purposes. According to Pirate3D’s COO Brendan Goh, the Japanese electronics market is very tight and it’s difficult and very expensive for an outsider to get a break. Besides, the industry still has to seen whether they will be demand for 3D printers in the country. However, the company has also made inroads in the US and China, and is preparing for full-scale commercial production of the Buccaneer.

The 3D printing market in India is set for 20% annual compound growth in the period until 2019, according to research from 6Wresearch. The drivers behind this growth include the fact that the market is still far from mature, the wide range of applications for 3D printing, the increasing need for prosthetics and orthopaedic products and the expiration of major 3D tech patents. Demand is growing for 3D printers in the commercial sector and, notably, from the healthcare, architecture and education sectors. As for households, however, the current prices of 3D printers remain a challenge in India as does the lack of awareness about the machines’ applications and advantages. Still, global industry leaders such as Stratasys, Optomec, Ultimaker and Exone are expanding their capacity in the country through partnerships with local businesses.

Patent Expiry will Drive Cheap 3D Printer Production in India A number of patents, most related to selective laser sintering, will expire later this year, which could lead to a new boom in innovation in India and around the world, and bring prices significantly down, judging from the developments following the previous round of patent expiry in 2009. Currently there are many Indian entrepreneurs working on 3D printers but being forced to stop upon discovering that the technology they are using is patent-protected. Most 3D printers that are currently built in India use open source tech, which compromises the printing quality, the size of the machines and filaments used. Once these patents expire, Indian developers will gain access to more sophisticated technology that will greatly improve the quality of their machines. Another major challenge that Indian 3D printer makers face is lack of access to funding due to the low level of awareness about the technology in the country. The opportunity to build cheaper, more affordable 3D printers after the patents’ expiry may go towards overcoming this challenge at least partially.

FBI to Get 3D Printer to Study Dutch Artist Creates Analog Bombs 3D Printer The Federal Bureau of Investigation is planning to buy a 3D printer in order for agent to study and test the most advanced modern explosives that are made using the same technology. It has already chosen the model it wants -- this is the Objet24 Desktop Personal 3D printer, which is made by a company based in Minnesota. The reason behind the choice is that, according to the FBI, this is the only 3D printer that meets its requirements for high accuracy and resolution, along with other technical requirements such as support data recovery and requirements related to the thermal environment. The price tag for the whole deal, which includes production, installation and training, is $20,000.

3D Systems Launches Printer Using Plastic Bottles 3DSystems announced it will start marketing a consumer printer that uses filament that includes 25% of recycled plastic bottles. The EKOCYCLE Cube printer will sell for $1,199, with shipments starting in the second half of the year. The filament will be available from 3DSystems. The reason why recycled material is just a fourth of the filament is that a 100% recycled filament would not be able to produce quality 3D prints. The printer has a print resolution of 70 microns and can printed items of up to 6 inches cubed in volume. It has two extruders allowing for multi-color printing and also features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The filament will come in four colors: red, white, black and an undisclosed “natural” color and will be very durable and flexible, according to 3DSystems’ spokeswoman Alyssa Reichental said.

Although we have gotten used to the idea of 3D printers as digital technology, one artist from the Netherlands has come up with a completely mechanical 3D printer. Daniel de Bruin has created a machine that prints 3D objects using no electricity whatsoever. The printing process is initiated when the operator lifts a weight of 15 kg, something that needs to be done once every 10 minutes in order for the printer to continue working. Depending on the object to be printed, the weight has to be lifted up to eight times. In order to select the shape, not having design software to rely on, De Bruin uses an aluminum wire that can be twisted into different shapes. Depending on the shape of the wire, it pushes the printing platform in different directions, determining the shape of the object that is being printed.

3D Control Systems Develops 3DPrinterOS with Multiple Compatibilities A US startup, 3D Control Systems, has designed an operating system for 3D printers that should be compatible with a wide variety of these products. The 3D printer market is currently vastly fragmented when it comes to OS, and while some are very simple to use, others are too complex for the average user and discourage them from buying s printer. 3D Control Systems’ OS aims to make possible collaboration and cooperation among different 3D printer makes. It uses a secure cloud interface through which designs can be streamed and exchanged without exposing their sources. Then users can modify these designs and manage the printing process across multiple machines within the cloud. The open source platform will be launched at some point in the next two months.

Android Finally Enters Mobile Printing Market Android has been slow to introduce printing capabilities into its operating system but it has got there, says market researcher IDC. Unlike Apple, which has been offering such capabilities on iOS for some time, Android has only just started doing it, joining a growing market. As mobile devices are increasingly being used in business enterprises, mobile printing has become a more or less mandatory feature, which significantly simplifies the printing processes at enterprises and improves the print experience for users, IDC explains. The research firm has identified as key characteristics of mobile printing capabilities enhanced security, support for multiple mobile OS, a complex topology and back-end integration. With the advent of this technology, there has also arisen a need for a common standard of the service. To this end, print majors and technology companies including HP, Canon, Adobe, Xerox and Samsung have formed the Mopria Alliance. The principal goal of the alliance is to encourage the adoption of common standards by industry leaders in the areas of print, mobile and OS, promoting mobile printing.

Xerox Ambitious about Inkjet Market Despite a stated goal to generate more than 60% of revenues from services by 2017, Xerox is not underestimating the blooming inkjet market and is eyeing a leading position on it. This ambition was hinted at during the recent official opening of an inkjet innovation center for Xerox’s new subsidiary Impika, a French inkjet tech developer. Xerox spent $53 million on the French acquisition and the following expansion of inkjet development capacities. At the event, Xerox CEO Ursula Burns said that although its print and documents business is much smaller in size than its services operations, it’s not size that is the most important, but penetration and value creation. She also said that the company is willing to make more acquisitions in the graphic communications field in order to develop the same class of portfolio in inkjet as it has in Xerography. Impika’s founder, now Xerox’s chief operating officer for inkjet, Paul Morgavi, said that at the moment digital printing accounts for just 2% of the overall print market. What’s more, experts forecast that inkjet has the potential to take up more than 50% of that overall market, which provides great opportunities for companies like Xerox.

To take advantage of this opportunity, Impika is planning to develop new product lines that will respond to specific customer needs. Along with launching new products in the roll-tosheet business, this includes expanding into the cut-sheet inkjet segment, Morgavi said.

Mike Josiah Mike Josiah is the Technical Director at UniNetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Coast office, a global distributor of toner, Smartchips, OPC drums, and other toner remanufacturing components. Mr. Josiah is an industry veteran since 1987, and a member of ASTM committee F.05, the STMC Technician Certification committee, as well as an STMC trainer. He and his support team at UniNet contribute with technical articles to industry trade magazines, and conduct seminars at association meetings and tradeshows worldwide.

First released in September 2011, the Samsung ML-4510series of printers are based on a 45-50ppm (depending on the model), dual component (toner and developer), 600dpi engine (1200 x 1200 Enhanced). The first page out is rated at under 7 seconds, and the monthly duty cycle is up to 200,000 pages. The drum cartridges do not have a drum cover, and come new with a piece of heavy paper with foam glued to it taped around the cartridge. See Figure A.

Samsung ML-4510ND Samsung ML-4512ND Samsung ML_5010ND Samsung ML-5012ND Samsung ML-5015ND Samsung ML-5017ND The drum cartridge MLT-R307 (60,000 pages) is listed for $166.99* *As of 5/1/2014 This imaging system consists of a toner unit and a drum unit that also contains the developer and magnetic roller. Since this system is different from what we have covered recently, we will cover the printing theory briefly here. The drum unit consists of the drum, wiper blade, waste chamber, PCR, Magnetic roller,Doctor blade, 2 mixing augers, the developer and a toner concentration sensor. See Figure A

Figure A The toner cartridges will be covered in a separate instruction, but there are three different yields available. There are LY (7,000 pages), HY (15,000 pages) and Extra HY (20,000 Pages) cartridges available. Each version of cartridge has its own specific chip, there are also different regions.

Figure B

The printers that use this engine are listed below: MLT-R307 (60,000 pages)

The sensor monitors the amount of toner in the system and causes the developer to be circulated back to pick up more

From here the printer works pretty much the same as mono-component printers. The PCR charges the OPC drum and the laser writes the image to the charged section of the drum. The toner is attracted to the image on the drum. The transfer roller then pulls the image off the drum and onto the page. The fuser melts the toner into the page. As this is happening, the wiper blade is physically cleaning off the drum, and the PCR is putting an AC voltage on the drum to erase any residual charges left by the prior print job. Figure C is a nice image of a laser scanner assembly. The laser is fired from a fixed position (1) onto a rotating mirror (Scanner) which re-directs the laser beam onto a fixed mirror so that it can cover the width of a page. (In case you have ever wondered how that works).

The toner is fed from the toner cartridge into the developer section and is fed to the magnetic roller by two mixing augers. See Figure B

The chip for the drum unit is a worldwide version meaning it works in all regions, but some soldering is required. The stated yield for the drum cartridge is 60,000 pages

这并非杞人忧天。3D 打印公司 Shapeways 已能采用尼龙 12 直接打印制造无缝拼接泳衣。这仅是一个开始，未来任何种类的衣服都将通过数字技术制造，而无需人工或缝纫机械。 3D 打印最大的优势是增加机器数目，就可以提高产能。而且机器是一次性投资，仅需考虑电费，以往的人力加工则要不断地投入。一条传统注塑生产线至少要 5 至 6 个工人操作，而一名技术员却可以管理数十台全自动化的生产设备。更大的颠覆在于柔性供应链。在传统制造业模式中，客户提出生产需求时，须根据市场预期确定每批生产数量后开展批量生产，一旦工厂投入运作，即使供过于求或供不应求，生产线亦难以停下。而 3D 打印则可先打印实验性产品，依据市场反馈效果后再做决定。未来 3D 打印将使一些传统制造中心的地位下降。例如深圳手机业的优势在于高效的供应链系统，上下游均能清晰掌握市场的走势，一旦产品滞销或者热销即可调整生产策略。而在 3D 制造时代，这些都不重要。3D 打印可随时即开即停，工厂无论设在深圳还是美国，均可获得足够的产能与响应速度，人力成本、技工水平均可忽略不计。

ISS To Have First 3D Printer

国际空间站 8 月将迎来首款 3D 打印机美国 3D 打印公司 Made In Space 在官方推文中表示公司为国际空间站制作的 3D 打印机已经获得美国宇航局（NASA）的批复和测试，并有望在今年 8 月份搭载火箭升空。据悉该公司所生产的 3D 打印机在考量到实用性的前提下必须承受在失重环境下所遇到的各种难题，目前该打印机已经在马歇尔太空飞行中心通过了诸如电磁干扰、振动、材料合规、人为因素、电线在内的多项测试，在升空后用于打造空间站的可更换设备。通过安装这台 3D 打印机能够帮助宇航员在太空环境下打造实用的零件、工具，并以此降低太空探索所需要的时间、财力和火箭发射次数。

编辑点评：于进可攻退可守的不败境地，对于 3D 打印，目前来看即便是把全球的 3D 打印都收购了，对于整个惠普的销售额促进，也显现不出来。惠普关心的是如果颠覆了 3D 打印目前又慢又糙的打印体验，是否会有井喷式的爆发？如果爆发了，惠普又会是什么样的位置？还会像普通打印机一样主导全球市场吗？

2014 年一季度 PC 显示器市场回暖

国内油墨产业以 10% 以上速度持续增长

需求量上升。

水性印刷上光油是由合成树脂、相关助剂及水经科学工艺加工后而成。具有无毒、无刺激、无有机挥发物、成本低，材料来源广等特点，是其他溶剂型上光油所无法比拟的。水性上光油在操作中可消除对人体的危害及给环境带来的污染，已愈来愈被食品、医药、烟草印刷企业所重视。随着我国国民经济的飞速发展，印刷包装业的繁荣带动了油墨制造业的快速成长，使得我国在最近的十几年间迅速崛起成为世界油墨制造大国之一，目前国内油墨产业规模正以 10% 以上的速度持续快速增长。油墨行业近年的发展使行业显现一篇繁荣，但是，同时也应该看到行业发展中的不足之处，企业规模不大，单个企业市场占有率不高；技术创新能力不强；国内生产的油墨环保性不强；高档产品供应不足；油墨技术人才缺乏等严重的阻碍了油墨行业的发展，为此，行业也采取了一系列的措施来加强巩固油墨行业的发展，如，加大行业的科技投入，加强环保油墨的开发，油墨的研制开发应以自主创新为主攻方向；加强油墨理论研究和科技人才的培养等等，取得不错的成效。

国内最大 3D 打印机在三亚造出小船

李嘉诚千万投资 3D 打印肉食或成盘中餐

The Largest 3D Printer Creates Boat in Sanya, China

Li Jiacheng Invests Tens of Millions in 3D Print 李嘉诚掌控的维港投资集团（Horizons Ventures）以 1000 万美元 A 轮投资美国创业公司现代牧场（Modern Meadow Inc.），用于实验室毛皮培养和 3D 打印肉食的研究。

当日，三亚思海创新机电工程设计有限公司研制的 FDM 型 3D 打印机成功制作出一艘小船，并下水试航成功。小船长 2 米，宽 0.8 米，高 0.3 米，重量 35 公斤，采用尼龙树脂材料，

网购墨盒制假被抓 Criminals Making False Toner Cartridges Arrested 近日，两个以淘宝网店为平台的制售假品牌墨盒的团伙被粤、苏两地警方联手一网打尽。警方根据爱普生公司的报案，分别查处了这两个团伙位于珠海南屏镇、汕头成田镇的制假工厂、窝点及仓库，珠海制售假团伙的主要嫌疑人黄某某已被警方刑事拘留，汕头制售假团伙主要嫌疑人李某某潜逃，正被警方网上追逃。此次行动，共计查获假冒爱普生等知名品牌墨盒成品近 8000 个、半成品墨盒近 3 万个，以及假冒标识、包装物、制假工具一批，总涉案价值过百万元。据介绍，这两个团伙分别以黄某某夫妇和李某某兄妹为首，专门从事生产、仓储并销售假冒爱普生等知名品牌墨盒，每月产销名牌假冒墨盒数以千计，违法经营额超过 10 万元。据黄某某夫妇交代，他们低价回收废旧墨盒，然后重新清洗、灌装、封装，再借助其淘宝网店，面向全国进行销售，非法获利上百万元。因此，警方提醒，市民购买打印耗材应当到品牌专营店

3D 打印肉食其实是混合动物组织细胞并培养其生长。依照现有的研究成果，他们使用 3D 生物打印技术将逐个细胞打印融合成可培养的组织，并在培养皿中培养几个星期，一块完整新鲜的肉块就成熟了。“现代牧场”将这一项目进行商业开发，主要是考虑到人们对动物皮毛和肉类的大量消耗，并且由此带来的虐杀动物、物种灭绝的问题。而生物培养和 3D 打印技术生产毛皮和肉类，则是无污染、无伤害的方法，现代牧场认为这样更加环保、文明。看来 3D 打印的肉食，也许在某一天真的会成为盘中的食物。

或信誉良好的商户，在网上购买墨盒时最好能辨别清楚后再购买，不要被便宜的价格所迷惑。
