Designed for use with FDM 3D printers, the 5” capacitive touchscreen display features a resolution of 800 x 480 and comes complete with IPS technology, providing a wider and more comfortable viewing angle. Beyond just 3D printers, however, the full-color Raspberry Pad 5 is also suitable for a variety of other tech applications like smart mirrors, digital photo frames, wall calendars, robotics, and even mini computers.

Eric Zhang, Founder of BIGTREETECH, said, “The Raspberry Pad 5 is an affordable mainboard solution for your 3D printer and other devices. Compatible with all series of the Raspberry Pi CM4 board, the device makes for a perfect main control board system. As well as 3D printing applications, it’s also intended for makers to use in a variety of DIY projects.”

Founded back in 2015, BIGTREETECH has become a big player in the game of 3D printer electronics, specializing in control boards, display screens, and driver boards. Over the past seven years, the company has shipped its products to over 100 countries across the world.

Under its BIQU brand, the firm also develops its own consumer-grade desktop FFF 3D printers. The first of these, the BIQU B1, was launched in June 2020 and shortly after in August 2020, the company launched its flagship BIQU BX on Kickstarter. The final printer in the portfolio is the user-friendly BIQU B1 SE PLUS.

Additionally, BIQU is also home to a wide variety of 3D printing peripherals and add-ons such as extruders, hotends, heat sinks, linear guides, fans, PTFE tubing, timing belts, and even filaments. Just recently, the firm announced the launch of two new high-performance FFF extruder kits – the H2O and H2 500℃.

BIGTREETECH’s Raspberry Pad 5 measures 121 x 75.9mm, while the actual screen size clocks in at 108 x 64.8mm. This is larger than the default touchscreens of most 3D printing systems, so you can expect it to grant users with a more premium-feeling control experience.

The LCD screen comes complete with two buttons on the side for adjusting the display brightness, and another button to flip the screen. It also sports a wide variety of interfaces to provide flexible connectivity options, including HDMI, 40 pin GPIO, RJ45 Ethernet, USB Type-C, three USB 2.0 slots, and a CSI Port.

When integrated with an FDM 3D printer, the Raspberry Pad 5 will need to be combined with a Raspberry Pi CM4 board and allows users to run Klipper firmware.

First of all, fdm3d printer is a desktop printer, while LCD 3D printer is an industry application printer. There are great differences in forming principle. Fdm3d printing is melt forming, and LCD 3D printing is light curing forming. Therefore, LCD 3D printer is much better than FDM in the accuracy of printed products. LCD light curing 3D printing is not affected by complexity, printing speed is fast, and jewelry design can greatly improve innovation, Jewelry is more concerned about details, so LCD light curing 3D printer is more suitable for jewelry.

In the process of making LCD light curing 3D printing, after the machine prints out the jewelry wax mold, the workers wash the wax, build trees, cast, polish and polish, and finally form the finished product. The plate is made manually, which needs to go through complex processes such as sawing, filing, polishing and polishing. At present, for ordinary rings and pendants, it takes a day for craftsmen to make a wax plate, while complex...

I have used it for several days. Talking about its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages: the metal body feels particularly solid, the leveling method is simple and convenient, and monochrome LCD screen shortens the exposure process and greatly save printing time. My first 3D printer was FDM machine of Flashforge. That has been in service for more than 4 years and is very stable, so, for this Voxelab machine, the sub-brand of flashforge, I am very confident in the quality.

Chinese-made desktop 3D printers from manufacturers such as Anycubic, Creality and Flashforged have been constantly improving in terms of quality while maintaining very affordable prices. This is enabled by these companies’ ability to rapidly scale and sell more and more machines all over the world. Now, this dominance in the desktop 3D printer market is confirmed by new data collected and released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS), which sees Chinese 3D printing companies account for 70% of the global desktop 3D printer market.

Just a decade ago, Chinese 3D printing companies were lagging behind in additive manufacturing with several European and North American countries taking a significant lead in this field. Before 2012, only a few companies in China focused on the development of a desktop 3D printer market, with Tiertime as one of the pioneers in this area. At that time, 3D printers were expensive, and the number of users was limited.

With the emergence of open-source came a series of 3D printers from companies such as Makerbot, Reprap and Ultimaker, and a new group of entrepreneurs, makers and enthusiasts entered this area. In China, companies that had been investing in R&D in 3D printing boomed. After nearly 10 years of development, China’s 3D printing industry has undergone radical changes in scale and structure.

Among these Chinese 3D printing companies developing desktop 3D printers, some focused on the Chinese market, while others targeted the global desktop 3D printer market. At that time, most people have no idea about the meaning of additive manufacturing and how it related to their lives. Gradually, 3D printers were gradually introduced to the global market. Over the past 8 years, Chinese 3D printing companies marketing desktop 3D printers have been increasingly accepted by the global desktop 3D printer market, due to effective manufacturing supply chains, R&D, production capacity, the convenience of cross-border e-commerce and cost-effectiveness.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic posed significant new challenges to the global economy. Thanks to the effective response from the Chinese government to the emergency, the whole industry in China quickly resumed work and production. At the same time, the global desktop 3D printer market saw demand take off (especially for the affordable FFF and LCD systems), due to the impact on the supply chain, lack of medical equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE), and working-from-home policies.

The global desktop 3D printer market has now reached 3-5 million units in 2020. Users purchased 3D printers for producing face masks, face-covering and other PPEs. This helped 3D printing become well-known among the general population and has greatly increased the visibility of desktop 3D printers. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS), in 2020, the value-added of Chinese high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 7.1%, compared to 2019. The production of 3D printing equipment, smartwatches, civilian drones, and integrated circuit wafers has increased significantly. The growth rate of these emerging products has more than doubled, and market demand is huge.

As reported, Made-in-China desktop 3D printers have accounted for more than 70% of the global desktop 3D printer market share. They have been frequently listed among the Best 3D Printers by media worldwide.

With the rapid growth of the global desktop 3D printer market, companies such as Creality, Anycubic, Flashforge, ESUN and Elegoo continue to grow. The number of employees in the Chiense desktop 3D printers industry now numbers in the thousands, and revenue ranges from hundreds of millions to more than one billion CNY. However, excessive competition is gradually leading to an involution of the industry.

Since 2021, most countries have found their own way to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The global demand for 3D printers maintained a healthy growth, though the growth rate declined compared with 2020. According to the economical operation status of Shenzhen, (issued by Shenzhen Bureau of Statistics), in the first half of 2021 the output of 3D printing equipment increased by 32.4%, which is significantly lower than the average growth rate that doubled in 2020.

Coupled with factors such as rising chip prices, rising raw material prices, and falling prices for 3D printers, the industry has experienced a certain degree of involution. The desktop 3D printing market has fallen into a situation where the growth is not as expected, but the competition is intensifying. How should Chinese desktop 3D printer companies deal with this new reality?

On September 8th, 2021, Nanjixiong, the leading additive manufacturing industry media in China, hosted a desktop 3D printing business dinner in Shenzhen and won the support of the world’s leading desktop 3D printer industry chain upstream and downstream manufacturers.

Although all the representatives from the companies in attendance are experienced in the global desktop 3D printing market, some of them met for the first time. During the meeting a Consensus on healthy and sustainable development has reached, and is referred to as the “Nine-Eight Consensus” of the desktop 3D printer market. Directives include:

Being a “3D printing evangelist”: promote the 3D printing technology and expand the market by focusing on education, i.e., 3D printing competitions and campus activities.

As organizers, Nanjixiong hope that the Chinese desktop 3D printer market and industry can become healthier, more sustainable and overcome industry involution. The media platform also said it looks forward to taking Chinese 3D Printing companies and China’s overall AM industry “to a higher level”.
