The Future of 3D Printing in China: Anisoprint CEO Discusses Opportunities and Hurdles.
In a recent episode of the Additive Insight podcast, Ryan Liu, the new CEO of Anisoprint, shared his perspective on the 3D printing market in China. Anisoprint, a pioneer in composite 3D printing, relocated its headquarters to Shanghai to be present in an emerging market. Although China offers enormous potential, Liu sees room for improvement in the application of additive manufacturing technology.
Liu emphasizes that Anisoprint's focus remains on the global market, as the markets in North America and Europe are already more advanced. However, working in China is considered an important part of Anisoprint's "second wave." The company aims to establish connections and unlock the Chinese market through educational efforts while continuing to develop its technology.
One of the biggest challenges is raising awareness of continuous fiber solutions, which are still relatively new in both China and globally. Anisoprint plans to conclude a second round of investment in the second half of 2024 and invest its research and development efforts in a robot-assisted continuous fiber 3D printing solution.
