The 19th Asian Games opened in Hangzhou, Zhe­jiang Province on the evening of Sep­tem­ber 23, 2023.I watched the open­ing cer­e­mo­ny live, and it was amaz­ing.

When the ath­letes entered the field, the fan-shaped guide cards held by the girls were hol­lowed out, carved with osman­thus flow­ers, peony pat­terns and Qiantang tides, which you may not expect to be 3D print­ed, real­ly beau­ti­ful.

In some large-scale games, the appli­ca­tion of 3D print­ing tech­nol­o­gy is not uncom­mon, and in the Tokyo Olympics, Bei­jing Win­ter Olympics and oth­er com­pe­ti­tions, 3D print­ing tech­nol­o­gy has been deeply involved. 3D print­ing can break through the tra­di­tion­al man­u­fac­tur­ing process, make a vari­ety of imag­i­na­tive designs and ideas become a real­i­ty, 3D print­ing can also allow ath­letes to use lighter equip­ment, stronger mate­ri­als, bet­ter per­for­mance, to help ath­letes play the best com­pet­i­tive lev­el.
