8. Economics Behind
Local Manufacturing
Job Opportunities
• USA lost 5.8 million manufacturing jobs just since 2000
—Manufacturing in Asia
– Unemployment Rate Rising
– Good quality of service industry depends on Successful Manufacturing Industry
• China & Asia Countries– less damage of Financial Crisis
– Manufacturing Provides fruitful Job Opportunity
• German—The fast recovery country from Financial Crisis
– German keeps high percentage of Manufacturing Capability
• Jasmine Revolution is also Generated by China？
– China Made Products took the Local Job Opportunity because Young Generation
can not find local manufacturing job opportunity

9. Directly digital manufacture
—3rd Industrial Revolution
• 1st Industrial Revolution
—man and animal power  machine
• 2nd Industrial Revolution
—worldwide production, mass production line, product uniform ,
consistent and with low price
—job opportunities transfer
America  Japan  Four Asian Tigers  China
• 3rd Industrial Revolution –the creative products with high value
—Distributed digital manufacture directly(personal and local)
—from creative design to automatic process
—Advanced Manufacturing Partnership(AMP2.0) & Re-industrialization
4.0 Germany both focus on the local
manufacture about the creative product

38. Franz Collection
– Fashion Refined Style with Fusion Art
• Franz Collection is the number one porcelain art designer and
producer in Asia. With its headquarters in Taipei and factory in
Jingdezhen (the porcelain capital of China), the company owns 200
retail stores in Asia and has marketed its functional art to several
thousands of retailers in 56 countries, including prominent department
stores such as Harrods, Bloomingdale’s and Bergdorf Goodman.
• In 2012 the CEO of the company Mr. Franz Chen was chosen by
Forbes as one of the “25 Influential Chinese in Global Fashion”. He
also won the award of “Entrepreneur of the Year 2012” and
represented Taiwan in the World Entrepreneur contest.
• The former Chinese President Hu chose Franz as gifts for the
American President Obama, British Prime Minister Brown and
Russian President Putin while former American President Bush
Senior picked Franz as Christmas gifts for his family and friends. The
Taiwanese President Ma presented Franz as gifts for the new Pope

49. Benefits
• Competition between “traditional” and
computer design and sculpturing teams;
• Possible to integrate “design” and “modeling”
into one. Streamlined design process, shorter
development time.
• “Unconventional” shapes, e.g. unsymmetrical,
organic, or geometric ones, can be more easily
realized.
• AM has also been used in developing jewelry
products.
50

50. Where AM brings advantages…
• Products need to be in pairs (e.g. vases);
• Mirrored designs;
• Repeated motifs or patterns;
• Scale-down or scale-up;
• Easy integration with precedent products (by
reverse engineering)
• Legacy management;
• Limited edition or special cases (e.g. tailor-made
products)
51

51. Barriers
• Mindsets -
• Cross-disciplinary training and integration:
artistic craft and computer skills (including
product designer, CAD designer, sculptor,
modeler, technician, mold makers, PM, and
even the boss!)
• Limited resin available;
52

52. Summary
• AM technologies have been used in the
luxury porcelain industry.
• Digital process brings additional benefits;
however, there’re also barriers to overcome.
• Cheap-Fast-Great;
• AM is one of the tools.
