Akuyona imfihlo ukuthi ukuphrinta kwe-3D kwezentengiso bekuthatha izintuba ezinkulu kwezobuchwepheshe eminyakeni embalwa edlule — kepha ukuletha intengo ingxenye ngayinye phansi kube yisithiyo esikhulu kwezobuchwepheshe cishe kubo bonke abakhiqizi bephrinta be-3D.
Ngeplatifomu yabo yokuphrinta ye-3D esanda kumenyezelwa ye-Metal Jet, i-HP ihlose ukuthatha abakufundile kunkundla yabo ye-Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printer — ikakhulukazi, ubuchwepheshe babo be- “voxel-level binder jetting technology” - futhi bayisebenzise ezintweni ezisansimbi, ukuqala ngensimbi engagqwali izingxenye eziqediwe. Phakathi kwabahloli be-beta beplatifomu kukhona iVolkswagen, lapho onjiniyela bayisebenzisa khona ukwenza izingxenye ezizenzakalelayo ezizenzakalelayo ezibandakanya ama-fobs asemqoka, izibuko zesibuko, nezinkinobho zamagiya.
“Siphakathi kwenguquko yezimboni yedijithali eguqula imboni yokukhiqiza engu- $ 12 trillion. I-HP isizile ukuhola lolu shintsho ngokuvula umkhiqizo we-3D ngobuningi wezingxenye zepulasitiki futhi manje sesiphinda kabili nge-HP Metal Jet, ubuchwepheshe bokuphrinta izinsimbi ze-3D, ”kusho uDion Weisler, oyi-CEO noMongameli, i-HP Inc, enkampanini yabezindaba . “Kunemiphumela emikhulu - imikhakha yezimoto, yezimboni, neyezokwelapha iyodwa ikhiqiza izigidigidi zezinsimbi unyaka nonyaka. Ipulatifomu entsha yokuphrinta ye-HP entsha ye-Metal Jet 3D ivula ijubane, ikhwalithi kanye nezomnotho ukunika amandla amakhasimende ethu ukucabanga ngokuphelele ngendlela aklama ngayo, enza ngayo futhi alethe izixazululo ezintsha esikhathini sedijithali. ”
Yembulwe embukisweni we-2018 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) eChicago, i-HP ihlose ukubeka iphrinta njengeplatifomu eshibhile futhi ethembeke kakhulu kunalokho okutholakalayo njengamanje — noma kunjalo, intengo yesikhulumi se-Metal Jet ihlala ku- $ 400,000. Alikho igama okwamanje ngezindleko zezinto ezibonakalayo futhi uma i-ROI inyuka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngokuqhathaniswa nabancintisana nabo.
Ekuqaleni kuka-2019, amakhasimende azokwazi ukulayisha amafayela e-CAD enkampanini entsha ye-Metal Jet Production Service, ezogcwaliseka ngabahlinzeki bezinsizakalo ze-HP i-GKN Powder Metallurgy neParmatech. Amaphrinta e-Metal Jet 3D azobe esenikezwa ukuthengiswa bese eqala ukuthunyelwa ngo-2020 kumakhasimende okuqala ngaphambi kokukhishwa okwandisiwe ngo-2021. Thola kabanzi ngaphesheya kwe-HP.
