　　 3D printing technology Entering the garment industry has become a new highlight of Shandong's export trade.

Mark, a Frenchman, does trade work in China. Speaking of life and speaking of clothes, he said he had his own set of ideas.

French businessman Mark: comfort is his own style. It can reflect its own style, and then very comfortable. In France, he thought the dress should be very popular.

Mark said that although high-end customization can satisfy many consumers' pursuit of individuality, it also means very expensive prices. In France, price factors are often deterred by many people.

Mark: This is very expensive. In France, if you buy a luxury, or buy this custom made clothes, it is very expensive.

Where can I find a place to make clothes? The clothes made are fit, fashionable and beautiful.

Shopping guide: I don't know what kind of product you are going to choose this time. I'll show you around here. This is our online shopping mall. I don't know where you are interested.

After many inquiries, Mark knew a very innovative offline experience shop for e-commerce. But can the place make beautiful clothes that are fashionable and fit? Will their clothes be better than the traditional ones? Mark's mind is not very clear.

Red collar staff Zhang Yunlan: the whole factory is a large 3D printer.

What is the concept of the 3D printing factory? Does the printing factory produce clothes? In order to verify this amazing 3D technology, the reporter walked into the clothing enterprise, but the reporters saw that their first step is still the traditional manual volume, which seems to have nothing to do with 3D.

Zhang Yunlan: because 3D printing is driven by data. With personalized data, this step is to collect personalized data of your body. After the collection is finished, it will be imported into our entire factory.

Zhang Yunlan, the head of the company, told the "half hour" reporter that since 2003, they have invested hundreds of millions of dollars over the past 11 years, using more than 3000 people's factories as laboratories, and researching and accumulating massive edition data, style data and process data, which include all the popular elements in the fashion design industry. There are more than one billion design combinations in the database. Everyone can design clothes that conform to their own aesthetics, and the background will automatically match various styles and details.

Zhang Yunlan: we are introducing the concept of everyone. Everyone is a designer. Look at our whole system. Our system is mainly aimed at foreign customers. Foreign customers can visit our website and design their own clothes on the website. After the design is finished, place the order.

　 Everyone can design his favorite in the database. clothing

Zhang Yunlan said, their database can provide different ethnic groups, different cultures and different shapes of clothing, and meet the needs of human 99.99% personalized design. So everyone is a designer, and every dress is unique.

Zhang Yunlan: This is all the data we have just designed, and then we can store it. In this way, our factory will receive this information. This information will be sent to the factory automatically and sent to the factory, and the factory will automatically make plate according to this information.

Reporter: These are the Internet. Do these things in foreign countries in real time?

Zhang Yunlan: Yes, in real time, real time is coming. Then, after receiving the factory, we automatically matched the plate library, finished the automatic plate making, and then automatically trimmed.

The size of the customer's measurement will be automatically matched to the version and automatically typesetting, and then sent to the tailoring workshop after completion.

Zhang Yunlan: self calculation, and is the fastest and the most frugal time. In the traditional mode, manual layout and artificial plate making require at least one day. Now, because of the big data, it only takes five minutes to automatically print out the version and automatically cut it out.

Zhang Yunlan told reporters that the biggest difference between them and traditional garment factories is that they don't have heavy clothing in such a big factory.

Zhang Yunlan: This is a personalized garment. You see, this person has written his own goal, the 110 target net.

Reporter: are these things custom-made?

Zhang Yunlan: they can be customized.

Reporter: is there an ID card?

Zhang Yunlan: Yes, you can understand every dress. You have such an ID card.

We found in the workshop that every worker had a small computer on the sewing machine, and the first thing that the workers got the clothes was to swipe the card.

Zhang Yunlan: in this ID, it contains all its personality in it. Then every small computer in every process will show all the personalized characteristics in this process, so this is one of our devices.

　　 Each station has a small computer showing this dress. ID

Zhang Yunlan said, clothes have been set up procedures in advance, which process needs to go to, where to stay, is automatic, workers will be completed within the specified time, automatically transferred to the next procedure. When the whole procedure is finished, a finished garment is finished. Zhang Yunlan pointed to the workshop and said, "this is the 3D printing factory.

Zhang Yunlan: he is a 3D printer logic, and the overall logic of the 3D printer is the same, and then it is just the factory, the factory is like 3D every position, that is, the logic of 3D printer is established, eventually leading to personalized 3D printers.

Reporter: what is the biggest change that has brought to your factory?

Zhang Yunlan: it changed from the production of homogenized clothes to personalized clothes. In other words, it brought a very big change to our profits. We may have produced ten pieces of profits before, and now we may only need to produce one.

What changes will the concept of 3D bring to their export?

Zhang Ren, director of the red collar group, has made over 150% of the turnover this year than last year.

Just a change of new concept will make the growth rate of enterprises so large? In the interview, reporters learned that this rapid growth is inseparable from the introduction of a policy. At the end of January this year, the General Administration of Customs approved Qingdao to carry out pilot projects on cross-border e-commerce services. In June 30th, Qingdao customs opened the "sunshine channel" for cross-border trade e-commerce, and released the first batch of cross border e-commerce commodities in Shandong. Thus Qingdao has gone all the way to the "cross-border electricity supplier era". Similar to the red collar group, the online private custom clothing business has become the first beneficiary of the sunshine channel.

　　 Qingdao Shi Yunfeng, director of the customs Technology Department: in order to support the new trade form of the red collar group, the customs and Excise Department directly linked with the red collar group's information system, so that when the red collar group was completed, when it needed to export, it would only declare a simple list of cross-border transactions to the customs through its own information system, and transmit it to the customs, so that the goods could be transported to the customs supervision place for information comparison. If the comparison was successful, it could be shipped directly out of the country.
