3D printing is used in production to varying degrees by manufacturers in various end-application industries because of its identified advantages. At present, the application of metal 3D printing in the healthcare industry is still limited to the printing of prosthetics and organs, while the automotive, aerospace, construction and other industries are expanding 3D printing technology from the original rapid prototyping to the production of end products. However, mature industries such as the pump and valve field had not been eager to adopt 3D printing technology, until recently, began to examine the application of 3D printing technology.

3D printing has more advantages in printing complex shapes and special-shaped structures, such as curves and hollow structures. You can refer to the metal 3D printing information, first of all, 3D printing technology can process parts that are difficult to manufacture by traditional methods. In the past, the traditional manufacturing method is a blank, the unnecessary place is cut off, and it is multi-dimensional processing, or the use of molds, the metal and plastic melt into it to get such parts, which is very difficult to process complex parts. 3D printing technology has great advantages for complex parts, and 3D printing technology can print very complex things.

From the cost point of view, 3D printing technology no longer requires a variety of expensive parts required for traditional manufacturing, mold costs, production preparation costs, labor costs, raw materials or waste because of 3D printing can be avoided. Moreover, the low cost of scrap of 3D printed products greatly reduces the cost risk of rapid prototyping by manufacturers. 

The main advantages of metal 3D printing technology applied to the hydraulic field are: to realize concepts that are impossible to achieve with traditional technology; Save weight, space, materials; A new structure is obtained to reduce the complexity of line connection. Rapid prototyping, where the same project may have multiple different prototypes; The production time is short, it may only take hours rather than days; Different materials are available: AISI304 and 316L stainless steel, aluminum, aluminum & titanium alloy, and other materials that are still under development; High performance eliminates potential leakage risks. 3D printing technology is widely used and is closely related to our lives.
