Introduction: The modernization with Chinese characteristics, new industrialization, and high-quality development require new productivity theories for guidance. New quality productivity has already formed in practice and shows a strong driving and supporting force for high-quality development. To promote all levels of the province to seriously study and deeply understand General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important discourse on accelerating the development of new quality productivity and solidly advancing high-quality development, the development of strategic emerging industries and future industries is regarded as the key to building new quality productivity. It is essential to comprehensively strengthen industrial innovation clusters and industrial ecological construction, striving to create a new situation in the modernization of high-quality development in Shaanxi. The Shaanxi Daily has launched a column titled “Accelerating the Development of New Quality Productivity“, where reporters delve into the front lines of enterprise production, interviewing the vivid practices of Shaanxi fully implementing the new development concept, using technological innovation to promote industrial innovation, and accelerating the cultivation and development of new quality productivity to drive and promote economic transformation and upgrading. Today, let us follow the “Accelerating the Development of New Quality Productivity” column of the Shaanxi Daily to enter Weinan City and the construction of the Qin Chuang Yuan additive manufacturing (3D printing) industry innovation cluster.

On March 29, at the intelligent production workshop of Shaanxi Zhitong Solid Phase Additive Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd., technicians were checking the equipment. In 2023, the Weinan 3D printing industry cultivation base achieved a total annual operating income of over 550 million yuan and a tax revenue of 14.82 million yuan. This year, Weinan City is building the Qin Chuang Yuan high-level scientific and technological innovation incubator based on the Weinan 3D printing industry cultivation base and has initiated the construction of the Qin Chuang Yuan additive manufacturing (3D printing) industry innovation cluster. “Focusing on the layout of key industrial chains in Shaanxi Province’s manufacturing industry, we are making continuous efforts in promoting technological innovation, expanding industrial clusters, and improving policy support, driving the additive manufacturing industry to grow and seize the market,” said Bai Guanyu, chairman of Weinan High-tech Zone Torch Technology Development Co., Ltd. “This year, we will deeply promote the construction of national-level science and technology enterprise incubators and new industrialization demonstration bases, striving to create a provincial-level Qin Chuang Yuan additive manufacturing (3D printing) industry innovation cluster and high-level scientific and technological innovation incubator, making new quality productivity a strong driving force for the high-quality development of the park.” On March 29, reporters entered the intelligent production workshop of Shaanxi Zhitong Solid Phase Additive Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Shaanxi Zhitong”). Unlike the noisy machines and busy workers in traditional manufacturing factories, there are rarely any moving workers here, and all automated machines are operating in an orderly manner. Shaanxi Zhitong is a high-tech enterprise focusing on solid-phase additive manufacturing and is a leading national high-tech enterprise in diffusion welding. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a digital manufacturing process that creates three-dimensional objects by stacking materials layer by layer. Today, 3D printing is penetrating various fields of production and life with its unique advantages, widely applied in medical, construction, aerospace, industrial production, education, cultural relic protection, and other fields. As early as 2013, Weinan City began implementing the industrialization of additive manufacturing, establishing the Weinan 3D printing industry cultivation base in Weinan High-tech Zone. After more than ten years of development, this cultivation base has become a first-class additive manufacturing industry development cluster in the country, with a typical demonstration effect in the central and western regions. Relying on the Weinan 3D printing industry cultivation base, batches of high-tech enterprises are intensifying their technological innovation efforts, continuously breaking through core technologies, shaping core competitiveness with new quality productivity, and accelerating the formation of an open innovation ecosystem with international competitiveness, creating competitive intelligent manufacturing “future factories” in various niche fields. Since settling in the Weinan 3D printing industry cultivation base in 2017, Shaanxi Zhitong has actively leveraged the research and development advantages of its scientific research team, increasing research efforts to tackle core technologies while continuously upgrading its automated production lines, working at full capacity to fulfill orders, and carving out a new path for high-quality development characterized by innovation, leadership, and high-end features, having obtained more than 20 authorized invention patents. In January this year, the Shaanxi Zhitong team won the first prize in the National Defense Technology Invention Award. “Our research team continuously challenges and innovates, solving numerous problems and designing and developing a series of diffusion welding equipment and printed circuit board heat exchanger products with independent intellectual property rights. The product performance has reached domestic leading and international advanced levels and is well-received in the market,” said Bie Xiaobo, executive vice president of Shaanxi Zhitong. “Next, we will strengthen the technological research and development of key functional components and the transformation of results, while deepening the domestic market, actively exploring overseas markets, and achieving high-quality development for the company.” Shaanxi Zhitong is a microcosm of the layout of additive manufacturing industry development in Weinan High-tech Zone. In recent years, Weinan High-tech Zone has insisted on deploying innovation chains around the industrial chain and laying out the industrial chain around the innovation chain, building the 3D printing industry cultivation base, and starting a new era of intelligent manufacturing with the “3D Printing +” model. Founded in 2017, Weinan Lingzhi Three-dimensional Technology Co., Ltd. fully integrates the resource advantages of the Weinan 3D printing industry cultivation base, relying on self-owned intellectual property algorithms and years of three-dimensional body measurement technology advantages, providing customers with one-stop human data service solutions in fields such as medical beauty, clothing customization, 3D printing, education and training, and digital display. In 2023, Bolite (Weinan) Additive Manufacturing Co., Ltd. successively implemented projects for production expansion and repair, and post-processing business, while Shaanxi Feifan Three-dimensional Technology Co., Ltd. was recognized as an industrial enterprise above the designated size for the first time… One after another, “3D Printing +” high-tech enterprises are making great strides at the Weinan 3D printing industry cultivation base. National new industrialization demonstration base for equipment manufacturing (additive), national-level science and technology enterprise incubator, national new materials high-tech industrialization base, national additive manufacturing innovation center industrialization base, rapid manufacturing national engineering research center, 3D printing talent training base… One by one, significant honors demonstrate the strength of the Weinan 3D printing industry cultivation base in scientific and technological innovation, talent cultivation, and innovation entrepreneurship.
