Abstract

Based on analysis of the current situation in the mechanical equipment industry, this paper introduces manufacturing technologies and equipment for sustainable development in the mechanical equipment industry. This paper will consider 8 aspects: digital technology, new material, near-net shape forming technology, clean production, short production process technology, waste-free manufacturing technology, automatic control technology, and remanufacturing and reusing technology. It is also important to consider, that as a powerful manufacturing country, we should develop technology and equipment in such a way that protects resources and promotes sustained environmental development. This way, we are able to provide technical support while building a resource-conserving and environment-friendly society.
