Abstract

According to the 2018 Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) report of the World Economic Forum, the Philippines moved 12 places landing 56th out of 140 countries based on different metrics on competitiveness such as the business dynamism, infrastructure, and ICT adoption. In order to continue this positive trend and remain competitive, the Philippines has to remain steadfast and welcoming of technological changes that would drive the economy for Industry 4.0. Among these disruptive technological advancements is 3D printing. At present, the local 3D printing industry is limited due to the barriers of adoption such as: (1) high cost, (2) limited build size, (3) lack of skilled workforce, (4) lack of regulations, and (5) potential security risks. Nevertheless, 3D printing technology offers many advantages particularly: (1) freedom of design leading to mass customization, (2) speed and adaptability, and (3) sustainability which are key drivers for the adoption of the technology. It is therefore imperative that the Philippines capitalize on these opportunities and address the deficiencies in order to harness the full potential of 3D printing.

3D打印:新兴颠覆性技术的挑战与机遇

根据世界经济论坛的2018年全球竞争力指数(GCI)报告，根据商业活力、基础设施和信息通信技术采用等不同的竞争力指标，菲律宾在140个国家中排名第56位，上升了12位。为了继续保持这一积极趋势并保持竞争力，菲律宾必须坚定不移地欢迎将推动工业4.0经济的技术变革。这些颠覆性的技术进步之一是3D打印。目前，由于采用的障碍(1)成本高，(2)构建尺寸有限，(3)缺乏熟练的劳动力，(4)缺乏法规，(5)存在安全隐患，本地3D打印行业受到限制。然而，3D打印技术提供了许多优势，特别是:(1)设计自由导致大规模定制，(2)速度和适应性，以及(3)可持续性，这是采用该技术的关键驱动因素。因此，菲律宾必须利用这些机会并解决不足之处，以充分利用3D打印的潜力。
