Umkhiqizi wamabhayisikili ushintshe ukukhiqizwa kwezingxenye zamabhayisikili akhe e-titanium waya kubuchwepheshe be-Cold Metal Fusion (CMF) obuvela ehhovisi lokunyathelisa le-3D laseJalimane.
Lezi zinkampani ezimbili zizosebenzisana ukusebenzisa izingxenye ze-titanium ze-CMF kuya ku-3D ezifana nezingalo ze-crank, izixhumi ze-frameset kanye nezingxenye ze-chainstay zebhayisikili lomgwaqo we-titanium, kuyilapho umnikazi kanye nomakhi wohlaka benokunye okuningi abakuthandayo.
“Ngenxa yokuthi kuhlobene kakhulu nokuthuthukiswa kwengxenye, kugcizelele izinzuzo zobuchwepheshe bethu kithi ngesikhathi sengxoxo,” kusho uNjiniyela Wezicelo ku-.
Yasungulwa ngo-2019 yisikhungo socwaningo lwe-polymer, eJalimane. Abasunguli benkampani, babesemsebenzini wokuklama inqubo ezokwenza ukuphrinta kwe-3D okuhlukahlukene kushibhile futhi kufinyeleleke kalula, ngaleyo ndlela kuthuthukiswe intuthuko ye-CMF.
I-CMF ihlanganisa kabanzi i-metal sintering kanye ne-SLS ngendlela entsha yokwenza izinto, ehlukaniswa nezinqubo zendabuko ze-SLS ngezinto zokunyathelisa ze-3D ezizimele. I-feedstock yempuphu yensimbi yenkampani ihlanganiswe ne-plastic binder matrix ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukugeleza kanye nokuhambisana nemishini ehlukene.
Inqubo ye-CMF enezinyathelo ezine iqala ngokuthuthukisa ifayela le-CAD lento eqondiwe, elibe selikhiqizwa ungqimba ngengqimba ngendlela efana nokuphrinta kwe-SLS 3D, kodwa emazingeni okushisa angaphansi kuka-80°C. Ukusebenza emazingeni okushisa aphansi kunciphisa kakhulu izikhathi zokushisa nokupholisa, kuqede isidingo semishini yokupholisa yangaphandle, kuyilapho futhi kunikeza ukonga amandla nesikhathi.
Ngemva kwesigaba sokuphrinta, izingxenye ziyasuswa, zicutshungulwe, zisuswe amafutha bese zishiswa. Ngesikhathi senqubo yokuphrinta, i-plastic binder equkethwe ku-powder resin eyimfihlo ye-Headmade iyancibilika futhi isetshenziswe kuphela njengesakhiwo sokusekela, okuletha izingxenye inkampani ethi zifana nalezo ezikhiqizwa ngokubumba ngomjovo.
Ubambiswano nalo akulona okokuqala inkampani isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-CMF ekukhiqizeni izingxenye zamabhayisikili. Ngonyaka odlule, basebenzisana nensizakalo yokunyathelisa ye-3D ukuthuthukisa umklamo omusha wamaphedali amabhayisikili anyatheliswe nge-3D obizwa ngokuthi. Ekuqaleni wawutholakala ku-back kickstarter, amaphedali e-titanium angenaziqeshana aqaliswa kamuva ngalowo nyaka ngaphansi komkhiqizo ohlangene.
Ngephrojekthi yayo yakamuva ehlobene nebhayisikili, i-Headmade iphinde yabambisana nezingxenye ze-titanium ze-Element22 kuya ku-3D zebhayisikili lomgwaqo we-titanium. Leli bhayisikili laklanywa ukuba libe yibhayisikili lomgwaqo eliyimidlalo, ngakho-ke lalidinga izingxenye eziqinile ezilungiselelwe isisindo.
Umenzi wohlaka uSturdy akayona into entsha ekunyatheliseni kwe-3D, njengoba esebenze nomhlinzeki wezinsizakalo zokunyathelisa kwe-3D zensimbi ngaphambilini ukukhiqiza izingxenye ze-titanium zezinye izinhlobo zakhe zamabhayisikili omgwaqo. USturdy wakhetha ukunyathelisa kwe-3D njengengxenye ebalulekile yebhizinisi lakhe lohlaka lwamabhayisikili ngokwezifiso ngenxa yekhono lalo lokukhiqiza izingxenye ezinejometri eziyinkimbinkimbi ezingenakwenzeka ngezindlela zokukhiqiza zendabuko.
Eqaphela izinzuzo ezengeziwe ze-CMF, uSturdy manje useguqule ukukhiqizwa kwezingxenye eziningana zebhayisikili le-titanium waba ubuchwepheshe. Ubuchwepheshe busetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza izixhumi eziphrintiwe ze-3D ezixhunywe kumashubhu acwebezelwe kufreyimu futhi ezingathwala izingxenye ezinkulu zebhayisikili njengezibambo, izihlalo kanye nabakaki abaphansi.
Ama-chainstay ebhayisikili nawo enziwe ngokuphelele ngezinto eziphrintiwe nge-3D kusetshenziswa i-CMF, kanye nezingalo ze-crank zomodeli, uSturdy manje azisakaza njengengxenye ye-crankset ezimele.
Ngenxa yemvelo yebhizinisi elenziwe ngokwezifiso, yonke ingxenye yebhayisikili ngayinye ifana ngokwesakhiwo, kodwa azikho izithuthuthu ezimbili ezifanayo. Njengoba izingxenye zenzelwe umgibeli ngamunye, zonke izingxenye zinosayizi ohlukile, futhi ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi manje sekungenzeka ngokwezomnotho ngenxa yobuchwepheshe be-CMF. Eqinisweni, i-Sturdy manje ihlose ukwenza ukukhiqizwa kwaminyaka yonke okunezinombolo ezintathu.
Ngokusho kwakhe, lokhu kungenxa yokuzinza okuhle kakhulu kwenqubo ye-CMF kanye nokuphindaphindeka kwezingxenye okubangelwa yilokhu, okwenza ukukhiqizwa kohlaka nezingxenye kube lula futhi kuphumelele kakhudlwana. Ubuchwepheshe buphinde bunciphise ukucindezeleka ezingxenyeni zensimbi uma kuqhathaniswa nemikhiqizo ekhiqizwa kusetshenziswa i-, futhi ubuso bezingxenye obuthuthukisiwe obutholakala ngobuchwepheshe benza inqubo yokuqeda ubuso bezingxenye ibe lula.
I-Sturdy iphinde ihlanganise ukusebenza kahle okukhulu nokunciphisa inani lokulungiselela elidingekayo ukuze kuhlanganiswe izingxenye eziphrintiwe ze-CMF enqubweni yokukhiqiza amabhayisikili uma kuqhathaniswa nezingxenye. Ikhwalithi ephezulu yezingxenye enikezwa yi-CMF isho ukuthi umsebenzi omningi ungenziwa endaweni yokukhiqiza, okunciphisa izindleko kanye nokuxhumana nabahlinzeki bezinsizakalo abahlukahlukene.
"Ukukhiqizwa kwalezi zingxenye manje sekuthathwe ngokuphelele ochwepheshe be-titanium, futhi siyajabula ukufaka isandla kubuchwepheshe bethu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi la mabhayisikili omgwaqo amahle atholakala kumakhasimende amaningi anelisekile,"
Ngokusho kwama-CEO angaphezu kuka-40, abaholi kanye nochwepheshe abasabelane nathi ngezibikezelo zabo zemfashini yokunyathelisa nge-3D ka-2022, intuthuko ekuqinisekisweni kwezinto ezibonakalayo kanye nesidingo esikhulayo sezinto zokusebenza okuphezulu kubonisa ukuthi abakhiqizi bayaqiniseka ngobuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza obungeziwe, Futhi ikhono lobuchwepheshe lokuvumela ukwenza ngokwezifiso okukhulu kulindeleke ukuthi lilethe "inani elikhulu" ezinhlelweni eziningi, kuzuze izimboni kanye nabantu.
