First of all, I would like to give a brief overview of art design to readers. Art design is an independent art discipline in colleges and universities, mainly including industrial design, environmental art design, visual communication design, etc. It also involves art, ergonomics, sculpture, Basic knowledge of architecture, furniture design, decoration culture, garden art, color psychology, material science, software operation, model making and many other fields. Colleges and universities have a long history of setting up art design laboratories, but with the development of the times, most of the traditional art design experimental teaching can no longer meet the requirements of the development of modern art education. By introducing 3D printing technology, especially SLS technology, because of its The printing feature without support completely breaks the limitations of traditional technology, and can easily and accurately process students' "wonderful ideas" and quickly improve students' design innovation and creativity.

Secondly, with the continuous development of the 3D printing industry, the cultivation of 3D printing professionals is still in its infancy, and there is a huge talent gap in the entire industry. The current job market is still unable to provide strong talent support. Colleges and universities introduce SLS nylon 3D printing to build characteristic laboratories to strengthen students' comprehensive mastery of art design majors, which not only consolidates students' ability to apply 3D design software, but also improves students' understanding and operation of 3D printers, and cultivates creative and creative talents for the society. Compound talents with application ability will further broaden the employment opportunities of students.

Through the communication with the laboratory teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts, the editor learned that the 3D printing laboratory of the Academy of Fine Arts is a typical "industry-university-research" combination model. Enterprise equipment and technical resources complement each other and share resources, so that students' creative thinking can be combined with the enterprise's technical practice. During the communication, the laboratory teacher also mentioned that the Academy of Fine Arts is preparing for a cross-provincial government cultural and creative 3D printing project. Due to the large project size, the relevant responsible team of the Academy of Fine Arts is comprehensively considering the surface effect of the printed product, comprehensive mechanical properties, After comparing dozens of 3D printing process equipment currently available in the laboratory with various factors such as weather resistance, production cycle and production cost, it was finally unanimously decided to use TPM3D S260 printing equipment to complete the product production of this project. During the communication, the teacher emphasized that the project has a certain degree of confidentiality, and it is not suitable for publicity at present, so the editor will not go into details about the content of the project here. Interested readers can pay attention to the media platform of the Academy of Fine Arts.

      At present, the application of SLS nylon 3D printing in the teaching of art design majors in colleges and universities has played a huge role in promoting school teaching, student learning, student employment, school scientific research, and enterprise development. Readers who are interested in this are welcome to contact us and work together Promote the benign development of "industry-university-research" in art design.
