How 3D printing technology is used in the spring manufacturing industry
In modern society, springs are a ubiquitous thing that can be seen in many products, but most people may know little about it. You may see that these spring shapes look very similar, but in fact the function and application of many springs are different, such as the diameter of the spring, the material and the number of turns it has wrapped can significantly change the characteristics of the spring. Of course, we are not here to popularize the knowledge of springs, so we will not elaborate. In fact, this article will introduce the application of 3D printing technology in the spring industry.
So which aspect can 3D printing technology be used in the spring industry? Of course it is a rapid prototype. What you may not know is that the spring manufacturing industry has high requirements for accuracy because the springs are often installed in a limited space to function. However, many current product designers often do not have the functional characteristics of springs. Therefore, when placing orders with manufacturers, they often require ambiguity. Sometimes, even the size specifications are not clear, which gives the spring manufacturers a problem. Because they are likely to have to rework because of the designer's problem to create a spring that does not meet the requirements.
The prototype of 3D printing allows the spring manufacturer to ensure that the spring size is accurate, because once the prototype can match, the manufacturer can confirm that the spring is manufactured to the current specifications. This pre-adapted process not only reduces waste, but the spring manufacturer no longer needs to iterate over and over again, but also saves valuable time and money. In addition, 3D printing technology is often used to create measuring instruments or tools to ensure that each manufactured spring is the same size and shape. Therefore, when a new spring is manufactured, it can be quickly compared to the measuring instrument, which can cover all indicators, from size to thickness or desired shape. This prevents any slight changes from causing the possibility that the function of the spring itself will not meet the requirements.
Finally, there are many ways to make springs, each of which requires specialized equipment to machine them correctly and accurately. Most of the larger industrial quality springs are manufactured using a CNC machine. For example, the KCT680 CNC winding machine can produce compression springs and allows users to change their size, number and coil diameter, as well as between each coil. distance. Some minor changes can cause the springs to be very different in characteristics, so in order to prevent the wrong springs from being used in the wrong application, they all need to be marked with color.

For the time being, 3D printing technology is likely to become a very common tool in the spring manufacturing industry, which is also a testament to the universal applicability of 3D printing technology. We believe that it is likely that in the next 10 to 20 years, all manufacturing industries will use 3D printing technology in some aspects.
