Ukuthi ukuphrinta kwe-3D kwemoto yangempela kwenza umqondo ophelele, othile bekufanele kube ngowokuqala ukukwenza kahle. Ngokwemvelo, kungaba njalo Ama-Motors Wendawo, ihabhu ledizayini yezimoto enemithombo eminingi kanye nabenzi be I-Rally Fighter.
Le nkampani iqophe umlando kule mpelasonto edlule ngesikhathi yethula umqondo wabo othi 'Strati 3D printed car' othi, njenganoma yimuphi omunye umklamo inkampani esebenze kuwo, yakhiwe ngosizo oluvela kubasiki bengqephu, onjiniyela kanye nabakhangi.
Kwethulwa njengengxenye ye- I-International Manufacturing Technology Show 2014 eChicago, i-Strati yabonakala okokuqala lapho ikhishwa futhi izungeza indawo, iMcCormick Place, phakathi nombukiso wezinsuku eziyisithupha.
Iphrinte amahora angu-44, imoto isuke kufayela le-CAD yaya emotweni yokugcina esebenzayo ngaphansi kwezinsuku eziyisithupha. Kulabo abangase bakhumbule I-Urbee kusukela eminyakeni embalwa edlule, uzokwazi ukuthi i-'Strati' ayiyona imoto 'yokuqala' yokunyathelisa ye-3D emhlabeni…kodwa uma kuqhathaniswa namahora angu-2,500 ethathelwe ukudala i-Urbee, i-Strati yamahora angu-144 iyinhlangano eqinile. ngcono eminyakeni emithathu nje kuphela.
The Strati iqukethe umbhalo owodwa womzimba wemoto kanti ezinye izingxenye ezihlanganisa amasondo, izintambo, ukumiswa nokunye kutholakala kwezinye izindawo.
Imoto yanyatheliswa emshinini we-BAAM (Big Area Additive Manufacturing) onesilinganiso sokubeka esingu-40 pounds ngehora wepulasitiki ye-ABS eqiniswe ngekhabhoni. Nakuba ukulungiswa kokuphrinta kungekona okuningi ongamemeza ngakho ekhaya, ikhono lokudala izinto ezimile zalo sayizi ngomgomo wokugcina wokukhiqiza ngobuningi liyamangalisa kakhulu.
I-Local Motors ihlela ukwethula izimoto zikagesi eziphrintiwe ze-3D ezisezingeni lokukhiqiza ezizotholakala emphakathini jikelele phakathi nonyaka ozayo. Okwamanje, ungabheka 'ukuvezwa okukhulu' lapha:
Uma usemakethe yemoto ephrintiwe ye-3D, qhubekela phambili Ama-Motors Wendawo ukuhlala uvuselelwe.
