Njengoba yasungulwa e-Amsterdam ngo-2013 ngabasunguli ababambisene nabo uBrian Garret noBram de Zwart, Izindawo ze-3D ikhule yaba inethiwekhi enkulu yamaphrinta e-3D anezindawo ezingaphezu kuka-15,000 emazweni angaphezu kuka-140, enikeza abantu abangaphezu kwebhiliyoni eyodwa ukufinyelela kuphrinta ye-1D phakathi kwamamayela angu-3 ukusuka ekhaya labo.

Inkampani ivame ukuqhathaniswa Airbnb ngokuthi bavumela abanikazi bephrinta ye-3D (Amahabhu) ukuthi basungule kalula amabhizinisi amancane abavumela ukuthi bathole imali engenayo ngephrinta yabo ye-3D ngenkathi ihlezi ingenzi lutho phakathi kwamaphrojekthi wabo wokuphrinta we-3D.

Fana no Airbnb, inkundla ilula kubanikazi bephrinta ye-3D ukuthi bajoyine futhi banikele ngezinsizakalo zabo zokuphrinta ze-3D - kuyilapho amakhasimende angathola kalula abanikazi bephrinta ye-3D abaseduze ukuze amamodeli abo aphrintwe futhi alethwe phakathi nosuku noma ezimbili noma ngisho amahora.

Izolo, inkampani imemezele ukuthi yize bekungoMasingana walo nyaka kuphela lapho begubhe khona ingqophamlando yabo yamaphrinta e-10,000D ahlaba umxhwele ayi-3 axhunywe endaweni yawo yesikhulumi, muva nje. laphindeka kabili lelo nani ngezinyanga eziyisithupha nje kuphela futhi manje inamaphrinta e-20,000D angaphezu kuka-3 emhlabeni jikelele axhunywe kunethiwekhi ye-3D Hubs.

“Kunzima kimina ukucabanga ukuthi ezinyangeni ezi-6 ezedlule sekujoyinile amaphrinta e-3D amaningi kunayo yonke iminyaka emibili edlule,” kusho umsunguli uBram de Zwart. "Lena impumelelo emangalisayo futhi ngeke ibe khona ngaphandle kwakho: umphakathi."

UZwart - kanye nomsunguli ohlangene uBrian Garret - baqale inkundla yabo 10 nje Amaphrinta e-3D (Hubs) e-Amsterdam eminyakeni emibili edlule kuphela.

“Kube uhambo olumangalisayo ukusuka ku-10 Hubs e-Amsterdam cishe eminyakeni emi-2 edlule kuya ku-20,000 namuhla, angikholwa ukuthi kuhambe ngokushesha kangakanani,” kwengeza uGarret. “Sibonga wonke umuntu ngokukholelwa kulo mbono wokukhiqiza okusabalalisiwe nangokusisiza ukuhlanganisa lo mphakathi womhlaba wonke!”

Nakuba ikhono lokuthola iphrinta ye-3D emphakathini wakho ukuthi ibe nokuthile okudalwe ngokomzimba kusuka kufayela ledijithali esikhathini esingamahora ambalwa ngokuqinisekile kuwumbono onamandla, ukukhula okuhlangatshezwane nakho kwe-3D Hubs kuletha ingxoxo ethakazelisayo mayelana nesimo esikhulu se-3D. ukuphrinta futhi ekugcineni, ikusasa eliseduze lokukhiqizwa kwendawo.

Sibambene no-Garret ukuze sithole kabanzi mayelana nokuthi ingqophamlando isho ukuthini kukho kokubili inkampani nakubasebenzisi, isimo samanje sobunikazi bephrinta ye-3D nokuthi ucabanga ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukukhula kweplatifomu esikhathini esizayo somklamo womkhiqizo wabathengi.

SS: Siyakuhalalisela ngeqophamlando! Nina nikwazile ukuphikisa amaphrinta e-3D amaningi kunethiwekhi yakho ezinyangeni ezi-6 ezedlule kunaseminyakeni emi-2 edlule - kwenzekeni??

BG: Ngiyabonga! Ngicabanga ukuthi inhlanganisela yokwamukelwa ekudumeni kwamaphrinta e-3D ngakolunye uhlangothi kanye nokuqashelwa komkhiqizo wethu embonini. Uma sikhuluma iqiniso asikaze sisebenzise imali ekukhuliseni uhlangothi lwethu lokuhlinzeka, kodwa sibona imiphumela enamandla yomlomo ngomphakathi wethu. Futhi sinombono omuhle kakhulu ngezinombolo zokuthengisa zamaphrinta e-3D ngokusekelwe emibikweni yethu yethrendi futhi kubonakala sengathi amaphesenti abalulekile abantu abathenga iphrinta entsha babhalisela ku-3D Hub ngokushesha, noma bathenge ngisho nephrinta ye-3D ukuze bajoyine i-3D. Ama-Hubs endaweni yokuqala.

Kungani ucabanga ukuthi kungani abantu abaningi bebalekela ubunikazi bephrinta ye-3D ngokukhetha ukuphrinta kwe-3D njengesevisi? Bangobani laba bantu futhi hlobo luni lwezinto abaziphrintayo?

Ingxenye enkulu yesisekelo samakhasimende ethu izingcweti zokuklama nabafundi. Uma ungawadingi amaphrinti nsuku zonke, ukusebenzisa i-3D Hubs kubiza kancane kunokusebenzisa iphrinta yakho. Njengoba ukusebenzisa iphrinta nokukhiqiza ukuphrinta kwekhwalithi ephezulu kwe-3D kungase kube kude nokulula, kuyilapho i-3D Hubs ikunikeza ukufinyelela kochwepheshe abanganikeza zonke izinto kanye nobuchwepheshe ngokuchofoza inkinobho. Sibona ukuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo okuningi kanye nobunjiniyela okwenzekayo, kuyilapho kukhona futhi ithrendi ebheke emikhiqizweni yokugcina yekhwalithi ephezulu etholwe ngamaphrinta asezingeni eliphezulu esiwaxhume.

"Sikholelwa ukuthi ngemuva komculo namamuvi, ekugcineni ukukhiqizwa kuzophinde kube yidijithali ngenxa yezinqubo zokukhiqiza ezidijithali njengokuphrinta kwe-3D."

Kuwo wonke amaphrinta e-3D kunethiwekhi yakho, yimaphi amadolobha amathathu aphezulu futhi yimaphi amaphrinta e-3D asetshenziswa kakhulu?

Ngenkathi siqala ngama-3D Hub saqala ukubona ukuthandwa okuningi e-Europe, amadolobha afana ne-Amsterdam, Berlin neParis abeku-3 aphezulu isikhathi eside. Selokhu savula ihhovisi lethu laseNew York futhi sichitha isikhathi esiningi nomphakathi wethu wase-US sibone ukwanda okukhulu lapho. Namuhla amadolobha ama-3 aphezulu yiNew York elandelwa yi-LA neLondon.

Uma kuziwa kukhwalithi yamaphrinta e-3D silandela ukwahlulela komphakathi wethu ongene ngokuhlangene amahora angaphezu kuka-330 wokubuyekeza amaphrinta okungowabo Kumhlahlandlela wethu Wephrinta we-2015D wango-3. Kodwa-ke uma sibheka izinombolo eziseplatifomu yethu sibona okulandelayo oku-3: I-Ultimaker 2, i-Prusa i3 futhi endaweni yesithathu i-Replicator 2.

Ngokukhula kwamaphrinta kunethiwekhi yakho, kusho ukuthini lokhu kubo bobabili abasebenzisi abasha nabakhona be-3D Hub?

Njenganoma iyiphi enye Indawo Yemakethe - kungakhathaliseki ukuthi usiqhathanisa ne-Uber noma i-Airbnb - kubonisiwe ukuthi ikhasimende liyazuza kunethiwekhi eminyene kakhudlwana. Ibanika ukukhetha okwengeziwe ezintweni zokwakha kanye nobuchwepheshe, eduze nalapho bekhona. Ukukunikeza inkomba namuhla sinezinsiza ezihlukene ezingu-261 kanye namamodeli ephrinta e-619D ahlukene angu-3 ku-inthanethi, lokhu kunikezwa kuphindeke kabili ezinyangeni ezingu-6 ezidlule. Ukutholakala okungcono emhlabeni jikelele kuphinde kusho ukuthi abantu bathola isevisi engcono, eduze nendawo abakuyo, okwenza kube mfishane ngempela imijikelezo yokuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo futhi kwehlise izindleko. Okokugcina, ukufinyelela ingqopha-mlando engu-20,000 kwajabulisa nakakhulu ozakwethu abafuna ukuvumela amakhasimende abo ukuthi Aphrinte nge-3D ngokuqondile kusukela kuzinhlelo zabo zokusebenza abazithandayo, izinkundla zokuqukethwe kanye nesofthiwe ye-CAD. Eqinisweni noma ubani manje angakwazi ukuhlanganisa futhi afinyelele inethiwekhi yethu yokukhiqiza nge-Teleport, i-API yethu yomphakathi esanda kwethulwa.

Njengoba siqhubeka nokuthola izindlela ezintsha zokushintsha izinqubo zokukhiqiza ezivamile ngezinqubo zokukhiqiza zasendaweni, ucabanga ukuthi lokhu kusho ukuthini ngekusasa eliseduze lomklamo womkhiqizo wabathengi?

Sikholelwa ukuthi ngemva komculo namamuvi, ekugcineni ukukhiqizwa kuzophinde kube yidijithali ngenxa yezinqubo zokukhiqiza ezidijithali ezifana nokuphrinta kwe-3D. Lokhu kuzoshintsha kakhulu indlela esenza ngayo futhi sisabalalise imikhiqizo yabathengi. Kule nkathi entsha imikhiqizo ingenziwa ngokufunwa e-Hub eseduze nawe, inqamule ezokuthutha, isitokwe kanye nemfucuza ekukhiqizeni ngokweqile. Lokhu kwenza abaklami bakwazi ukugxila engxenyeni yokudala umkhiqizo, njengoba ukukhiqiza nokusabalalisa kukhishwa kalula ngenethiwekhi efana ne-3D Hub.

Ukuze uthole okwengeziwe mayelana nokusungula i-Hub yakho endaweni yesikhulumi ukuze unikeze izinsiza zokuphrinta ze-3D endaweni yangakini, noma ukuthola ukuthi ubani onyathelisa nge-3D emphakathini wakini, yiya ku- Izindawo ze-3D.
