Looking back and prospect: 3 d printing and CESA incarnations
Since the beginning of the 3 d printing has experienced nearly 30 years of development, and America's consumer electronics show, that is, we often say the CES, is nearly 50 years old. In 2010, 3 d printing began to wide attention by the mass media, 3 d printing to the public, that is, five years before. 3 d printing as a wet behind the deep lad, while CES witnessed the rise and fall of consumer electronics. Now they are hand in hand, came to Shanghai together. In 2015 on May 25 to 27, the first Asian consumer electronics show (CES) Asia since its opening in Shanghai new international expo center, attracted the attention of many technology enthusiast, on May 11-13, this event will be held in Shanghai again.

Before we cut to the chase, say the international consumer electronics show (CES) history. In 1967, the international consumer electronics show (CES) of the first, the opening of New York in the United States. The CES is only at the venue, the music shows of Chicago now CES has become the world's biggest consumer electronics exhibition.

In 1970, SONY exhibited in the CES first analog tape recorders, namely we often say the VCR. In 1981 CES, JVC and SONY launched the world's first portable camera. In 1996, DVD as by apple, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, dell company launched a new generation of media, such as storage medium, in the traditional CD seven times the capacity and deft, at CES show, and, of course, replace the position of VHS tapes. In 2001, Bill Gates, a former boss of Microsoft speech at CES, launch the Xbox, was born a batch of "halo" and "FORZA loyal fans. Microsoft launched in 2002 Xbox Live service, the players in the game all over the world across the language barrier, experience the spirit of cooperation and racing.
In 2005, became the world's largest electronics exhibition CES, have an audience of 150000 people. By 2011, in the area of 160 square feet, more than 1700 exhibitors from 140 different countries shows about 20000 kinds of products. CES has become the global consumer electronics industry.

On January 6, 2016, the attention of the world's CES was kicked off the 2016 consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, from more than 100 countries and regions of the world's nearly 4000 companies to attend the event. More than 3600 global manufacturers have also at this exhibition, with the latest products and technologies, attract the attention of consumers. As for 3 d printing field, many enterprises at home and abroad with the help of the platform at their latest product. Among them, NB with Intel in teamed up to develop 3 d printing running shoes; Japanese intelligence 3 d printing iot bicycles and 3 d printing electric bikes EnergicaEgo have also at CES, become the highlights in the field of 3 d printing.
On May 11, 2016-13, the second annual consumer electronics show will be held in Shanghai, China, Asia and the world famous enterprises will gather here, through to the consumer electronics industry executives at home and abroad, international buyers, the news media, and China's domestic some consumers display their latest products and technologies, such as further cultivate and promote enterprise's brand visibility and reputation.
As a leading consumer technology industry exhibition, CES, of course not miss China, Asia, the rise of "hot", Asia's consumer electronics show (CES) Asia will be all-round display of technological innovation in the Asian market breadth and depth. Exhibition will provide media in close contact with the Chinese, Asian and global innovation enterprise. In 2016, Asia's consumer electronics show net exhibition area will be expanded to twenty thousand square meters; More than 300 exhibitors will showcase 3 d printing, smart home, robots, wearable devices and automobile electronic technology innovations, the 15 categories.
Now we usually say that the 3 d printing technology, is widely reported in the mass media in 2010 after the call, in the past he was called a "made" material. Traditional car, milling, planing, grinding, clamp manufacturing technology, is the whole piece of material cutting, grinding, remove excess part, become a mold; And make the contrary to add material, from the tiny powder or liquid to do addition, collection as a whole.
The father of 3 d printing
Chuck hull
About 32 years ago, in 1983, chuck hull, namely the current 3 d Systems, chief technology officer and co-founder, in the use of ultraviolet light lacquer, desktop initiation the idea to use to make the prototype addition. Then he applied for a patent for the technology, and in March 1986 by the United States patent and trademark office (USPTO) with patent no. 4, 575, 330 approved, patent name for "through three-dimensional plate printing (SLA) three-dimensional objects way manufacturing". The birth of SLA technology is considered to be the earliest commercial 3 d printing, so the chuck hull also known as the "father" of 3 d printing.
3d printing and CES in hand, it is late a lot. In 2010, or open source MakerBot Cupcake CNC 3 d printers appear on the CES, for the public is still a very new things.
MakerBot Cupcake CNC 3Dprinter
In 2011, appeared in the CES MakerBot, new Thing - o - Matic, but it didn't cause too many people focus on. Some netizens even call it "cool gadgets.
MakerBot Thing-O-Matic 3Dprinter
At CES 2012, 3 d Systems for the first time will be beautiful, complete and commercialization of Home 3 d printers to CES, with 3 d @ Home as the theme shows the possibility of using 3 d printers in the family. And a MakerBot also took it the last generation of open source 3 d printers MakerBot Replicator to CES. That year, a small number of people are no longer amazed by the magic of 3 d printing, but it can bring to life the change of thinking and practice.
3D SystemsFor the first time in 2012 the Cube with 3 d printer displayed to the public
In 2013, in addition to 3 d Systems and MakerBot, Sculpteo landing CES also do 3 d printing services. With a design of the iPhone back shell mobile phone application of 3 d printing 3 dpcase again, CES Sculpteo won awards for best software and mobile application innovation. And, there are more personal and entrepreneurial companies to join the tide of 3 d printing.。

CES in 2014, is the outbreak of the year for 3 d printing. In Las Vegas, CES for the first time to set up 3 d printing exhibition area, 3 d printing and involving food, clothing, Musical Instruments, household, medical applications, such as 3 d printing services cross-industry exhibits and application on CES. Stratasys also carries a commercial type of 3 d printing equipment exhibition.

In 2015, full color desktop 3 d printer CubePro C appear at CES in Las Vegas in the United States; Food 3 d printing, 3 d chocolate printer appeared on the show. The influence of the 3 d printing to the general public is emerging. And 3 d printing on CES exhibition area expanded to 2014 two times, and there are more than 10 Chinese mainland and Taiwan manufacturers flew to Las Vegas.
CES 2015, 3 d printing pavilion area 2 times that of 2014
Nowadays, CES again came to Shanghai, China, opens the door to the Asia. CES exhibition in Asia Asia (CES) for China's 3 d printing companies to close contact with the world market, and to the domestic public provides the understanding of the world of 3 d printing ideal opportunity.
Beside the water machine set off the exhibits the tall
Beside the water machine foil a tall the exhibits on the CESA, the audience is expected to see so much of 3 d printing products, printing and is using FDM technology. Model is to joint block print together, visual shock. This product is the stability of FDM mature technology in the precision of the test, is one of the enterprises to show the strength.
Painting style is completely different SLA technology of 3 d printers
On the other hand, we could also meet various CESA SLA technology of 3 d printers. As Texas instruments, many companies are given at the bottom of the hardware scheme, therefore is expected to see it on CESA based on SLA technology, high precision of 3 d printers, they in the process of liquid "pull" print model will surely impress the audience.
As for direct metal sintering of other technologies such as 3 d printers, because the more the application of industrial level, so we in CESA this biased towards consumption, booth should be hard to see.
