New technologies such as 3D printing will bring many changes to badge making, including but not limited to the following:
Design level:
Higher design freedom: Traditional badge production is limited in shape and structure, and 3D printing technology can easily achieve complex shape, structure and internal hollow design, designers can break through the traditional two-dimensional design thinking, to create a more creative and unique badge style, such as can produce a multi-layer nested, three-dimensional relief effect, irregular shape of the badge.
Personalized customization is possible: 3D printing technology can quickly produce unique badges according to the specific needs of customers. Whether it is an individual customized commemorative badge, a corporate customized brand badge, or an exclusive badge for a specific event, it can be precisely designed and produced according to customer requirements to meet the growing personalized needs of consumers.
Production level:
Shorten the production cycle: the traditional badge production needs to go through a number of complicated processes such as mold making, casting, grinding, and so on, and the production cycle is longer. 3D printing technology can be directly based on the design model for rapid printing, greatly shortening the production time. Especially for small batch or customized orders, the advantages of 3D printing are more obvious, and it can quickly respond to customer needs.
Improve production efficiency and accuracy: 3D printing technology can be produced with high precision, and the printed badge details are clearer and more accurate, and the dimensional accuracy is higher. At the same time, the automated 3D printing process reduces manual errors and improves product consistency and quality.
Cost reduction: For some complex shapes of badges, traditional production methods may require complex molds and multiple processing, and the cost is high. 3D printing technology can be directly produced without the need for molds, reducing the cost of mold production. Moreover, with the continuous development of 3D printing technology and the expansion of application scale, the cost of printing materials is also gradually reducing.
Material level:
Variety of material options: 3D printing technology can use a variety of materials for badge production, such as metal, plastic, ceramic, resin, etc. This opens up more options for the design and making of the badge, and the right material can be chosen according to the purpose, needs and budget of the badge. For example, metal materials can be made with texture and high-grade badges, plastic materials are suitable for making lightweight, colorful badges.
Application of new materials: The development of 3D printing technology has also promoted the development and application of new materials. Some materials with special properties, such as materials with fluorescent effects, color-changing effects, magnetic materials, etc., can be applied to the production of badges to increase the interest and functionality of badges.
Industry model level:
Innovative business model: The emergence of 3D printing technology has prompted a shift in the business model of the badge making industry. Enterprises can provide an online design platform to allow customers to directly participate in the design process of the badge, and then quickly produce the finished product through 3D printing technology to achieve customized production mode of C2B (consumer to enterprise). This model can not only improve customer satisfaction, but also enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
Promote the integration of the industry chain: The application of 3D printing technology may promote the integration of the badge production industry chain. From design, material supply, printing services to post-processing and other links, more integrated service providers are likely to emerge, thereby improving the efficiency and synergy of the entire industry chain.
