3D printing
3D printing -Definition: the process of creating three dimensional objects from digital file using a materials printer, in a manner similar to printing images on paper.
-Technology:Additivce manufacturing,laying down successive layers of material rapid prototyping technology.
-Situation: • Invented in 1980s and there has been large growth in the sale of 3D printers since 2003 . •The cost of 3D printers has gone down.•The technology also finds use in the fields of jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education, geographic information systems, civil engineering, and many others.

Engineering are changing
• Product design is changing• Manufacture industry(especially consumer products) is
changing• Customers’ behavior are changing
What is changing
• Crowd souring• Personalization • Source accessible to everyone
What is changing
Changing===Opportunity
Where is our opportunity?
What is changing
Engineering outsource
Manufacturing shop
3D printer
Design platform
Design software Google Sketchup TinkerCAD etc.
Where does our opportunity lie in?
Design platfrom+3D printer
New landscape
RepRap
What’s our opportunity(For Pungke as an example)
•3D4All is part of open engineering ( initial step ) .It targets “Professional mechanical designers(software&electronics will involve later )”,”Fashionable industrial designers” ,“ DIYer”•It splits into 3 different websites at very first, and focus on mechanical design in the beginning• The websites should highlight “social”, and start with design content/CAD model sharing and learning• The websites should be tidy and visual, and streamline the publish process•Differentiate from conventional web forum ---It is not just Q&A and learning material sharing

Competitive analysis
•A lot of engineers are trained every year
• Experts to drive online community
• Not so strong in terms of innovation
• Not easy to populate CAD to average people
•Lack of DIY atmosphere
•Spent time to form engineering culture on line
• Easy access to some resource for average people
• May change mass production in certain way
• IP protection is a question
