Lolu cwaningo luxhaswe yi-Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EP/N024818/1). Ababhali bamemezela ukuthi abanazo izintshisekelo zezezimali eziqhudelanayo noma ubudlelwano bomuntu siqu obuthinta noma obungabhekwa buthinta umsebenzi ochazwe kulesi sihloko.
Nakuba ubhubhane lusivimbele emisebenzini eminingi esiyijabulelayo, izinto zokuzilibazisa zomndeni ezifana ne-DIY, ukubhaka nomsebenzi wokuthunga sezidume kakhulu. Manje kukhona indlela yokuhlanganisa wonke lawa makhono ukuze udale into entsha ngokuphelele. Nokho, uzodinga iphrinta ye-3D.
Amaphrinta e-3D angaphrinta ngokushesha izinto zepulasitiki zanoma yimuphi umumo. Kodwa ziningi izinto abangakwazi ukuzenza. Awukwazanga ukuphrinta i-pasta ye-3D esesimweni somlingiswa wekhathuni oyintandokazi yengane yakho, noma wenze i-pizza ngesimo selogo yeqembu lakho lebhola lezinyawo - kuze kube manje. Iphepha lethu elisha locwaningo, elishicilelwe kuDatha Kafushane, libonisa indlela elula yokuguqula amaphrinta e-3D ukuze enze izinto ngokudla noma ubumba.
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, ukuphrinta kwe-3D kuye kwaphuma emkhakheni wezinganekwane zesayensi, amalebhu ocwaningo, nezinkampani zobuchwepheshe futhi kwafinyelela kubantu abathanda. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amaphrinta aseshibhe futhi kulula ukuwasebenzisa. Imikhiqizo eminingana eqhudelanayo ithengisa izinto zokwakha zephrinta ye-3D ku-inthanethi ngemali engaphansi kuka-£300 kanye ne-plastic filament ngemali engaphansi kuka-£20 ngekhilo.
Ngenkathi amaphrinta e-3D ezwakala njengemishini yekusasa eyinkimbinkimbi ngendlela emangalisayo, empeleni kulula kakhulu ukuqonda ukuthi asebenza kanjani. Isofthiwe esetshenziswa ukulawula iphrinta ye-3D ithatha isithombe se-3D futhi isike ezithombeni eziningi ze-2D (flat). Iphrinta "idweba" lezi zithombe eziyisicaba esinye phezu kwesinye sisebenzisa ipulasitiki encibilikisiwe njengoyinki, njengoba kuqondiswa isofthiwe. Lesi sitaki sokusanhlamvu siba sinye.
Ukwenza lokhu, i-motor kagesi ephrinta iphusha i-filament ngokusebenzisa i-nozzle eshisa ngaphezu kuka-200 ° C, incibilikisa umcu bese uyiphusha ngaphandle kwe-nozzle. Leli khanda lokuphrinta liqukethe imibhobho namamotho futhi lingakwazi ukuhamba kuzo zonke izinhlangothi ezintathu (ubude, ububanzi nokuphakama) ngoba lifakwe enjini ehlukile, i-pulley, ibhande kanye nesikulufu ohlangothini ngalunye. Iphrinta ye-3D ayilutho ngaphandle kwekhanda lokuphrinta, indlela yokunyakaza, nebhodi lesekhethi elilawula kokubili futhi lixhumane nekhompyutha.
Ake ucabange ukunikeza abangani bakho ikhekhe likanokusho noma inkomishi yekhofi ephrintiwe ngobumba. Ukwenza lokhu, uzodinga iphrinta ye-3D esebenzisa ukunamathisela, ijeli, noma okunamathiselwe esikhundleni se-plastic filament. Ijeli noma unamathisele kungaba ubumba noma izinto ezidliwayo ofuna ukubumba, njengamajeli, inhlama, oshizi abathambile, nojamu.
Iphrinta enjalo ingase ibe "ne-cartridge" engenalutho ozoyigcwalisa ngephepha lakho, kanye nesihloko sokuphrinta "esiphrinta" kuleyo cartridge. Lawa maphrinta aseneminyaka eminingi ekhona. Nokho, ngokuvamile bangaphezu kuka-£1,000. Kodwa ubani ozidingayo lapho ungakwazi ukuzenzela ekhaya futhi ujabulele?
Ucwaningo lwethu olusha lubonisa ukuthi amaphrinta epulasitiki e-3D ashibhile angashintshwa kanjani ukuze aphrinte amajeli nokunamathisela. Umqondo uwukufaka esikhundleni sekhanda lokuphrinta elincibilika epulasitiki “ngepompo yesirinji,” idivayisi ebamba isirinji yepulasitiki evamile futhi ekhama ikhiphe okuphakelayo lapho kudingeka. Amasirinji epulasitiki ngokwawo asebenza njengama-cartridges amaphrinta. Iphampu yesirinji iyifreyimu yepulasitiki nje ebamba isirinji endaweni. Injini ingasetshenziswa ukuguqula isikulufu esiphushela inathi phansi, esetshenziselwa ukusunduza i-plunger yesirinji futhi iphushe okokusebenza ngaphandle kwenaliti yesirinji.
Kodwa kanjani ukwenza iphampu yesirinji? Kulapho kuba nentshisekelo khona. Ungayiphrinta nge-3D ngepulasitiki ngaphambi kokushintsha iphrinta. Iphepha lethu lesayensi lifundeka mahhala futhi liqukethe zonke izithombe ze-3D ezidingekayo ukuze uphrinte zonke izingxenye kanye nezinyathelo eziqondile zokuzihlanganisa.
Isipetu singagcwaliswa cishe nganoma iyiphi i-semi-solid ne-3D ephrintwe ngendlela efanayo engaphrintwa ngayo ephrinta yepulasitiki. Isibonelo, thina i-3D siphrinte izinhlobo ezimbili ezihlukene zeshingamu edliwayo, njengoba kukhonjisiwe esithombeni esingezansi:
Ngemva kokulungisa iphrinta, ungaphinda ubuyele kalula kusihloko esidala sokuphrinta uma ufuna ukuphrinta ngepulasitiki futhi. Kujabulele!
