The 3D (three dimensional) printing technology is developing rapidly, and it has been widely used in human life and various industries. 3D printing technology will accelerate technological innovation, raw material evolution, and change the development of the industry. Although it is still unable to replace the traditional manufacturing technology, it will development of traditional manufacturing induster. Taiwan's machinery and sheet metal industry must use existing resources, the introduction of innovative technologies, the promotion of high value-added products, in order to maintain a competitive advantage in the world. The research about mechanical sheet metal industry is only found in the discussion of business performance and management, there is little research on introducing innovative technology. This study explores whether 3D printing technology influecne the future development of the sheet metal industry The two purposes of this study: First, to explore whether the current mechanical sheet metal technology will be substituted or complemented by 3D printing technology. Second, to demonstrate whether mechanical sheet metal industry will use the 3D technology based upon the technology acceptance mode(TAM) .This research adopts the case study method and in-depth discussion of S company. The research results show that 3D printing technology can not replace the existing technology in the short-term but has complementary functions, and there will be a tendency of technology sustitution in the long -term. On the other hand, according to the results of the technology acceptance model analysis, both the usefulness and ease of use of the perceived 3D printing technology, the attitude and the intention to use 3D technology are positively accepted by the S company. Therefore, this study believes that 3D printing technology has a great impact on the development of mechanical sheet metal industry. Keywords: 3D printing technology, technology substitution, technology complement, technology acceptance model, mechanical sheet metal industry.
