Chinese 3D Printing Manufacturers to African dealers?
African visionaries for Chinese companies?
Could you imagine some 3D Printing business from your African country with China or Latam?
Is the US the leader in top-end manufacturing, and in the creation of “smart” companies and in intricate touchscreen technologies.
What about China?
And about China to Africa vs. USA to Africa?
And South – South, Latin America – Africa in FIR?
In any case you know that Africa should turn to high-skill manufacturing to aid sustainable growth.
Are you an expert in Additive Manufacturing or any matter about Industry 4.0?

Africa should turn to 3D printing tech
New from SciDev.Net
One of the most puzzling paradoxes of the much lauded recent African growth is its bizarre matrix of high growth and high unemployment
The low impact on poverty reduction and unemployment of the otherwise impressive growth has, in turn, been attributed to the low contribution of the manufacturing sector.
Manufacturing has stagnated and contracted while the service sector continues to grow at a strong rate, leaving economists pondering whether Africa is undergoing a premature de-industrialisation.
Africa is expected to benefit from more manufacturing jobs due to China’s rising wages and transition to high-value, high-skill manufacturing.
But the likelihood of attracting these jobs is likely to suffer setbacks as a result of the rapid rise of digital manufacturing, especially 3D printing.
In 2013, President Obama celebrated the return of manufacturing jobs back to the United States from Japan and Mexico by hailing 3D printing technology as offering the potential to resuscitate and revolutionise manufacturing in the country.
3D printing technology, also known as rapid prototyping, additive or digital manufacturing, has been around for at least the last three decades. However, it is only in the last five years that it has come to widespread use in the manufacturing sector. 3D printers turn digital design data into a three-dimensional tangible, physical object. Various materials and processes are being used to print solid 3D objects: plastic resins, metals, wood fibre, carbon fiber, construction waste, desert sand, human tissue and many others.
New materials, methods and combinations of materials and methods are being introduced to perfect the technology. Initially, 3D printing was used as a niche activity in big manufacturing firms that mainly used it to develop prototypes. The technology is invariably described as disruptive. For example, in one survey, respondents from industries and academic institutions said they expected 3D printing to be “the most disruptive technology” in the next three years.
Africa should accelerate the process of transitioning to high-value manufacturing by acquiring and developing capabilities in 3D printing technology. This transition cannot be realised by merely repeating what China has done, to relocate Chinese plants to Africa. Africa should follow on China’s footsteps in the context of the rise of 3D printing technology. Instead, Africa should emulate Taiwan — “the rise of 3D printing could do for Africa what semiconductors did for Taiwan in the 1960s”.
