Ngenkathi umsebenzi wakhe wosuku unokwakha izinjini zeFord Motor Company (hhayi umsebenzi omubi uqobo lwayo), unjiniyela wezinhlelo uMat Schmotzer usebenzisa isikhathi sakhe samahhala enza izifanekiso eziphrintiwe ze-3D zama-roller coasters wangempela asebenzisa ububanzi bolwazi lwakwaSOLIDWORKS ne-3D izindlela zokuphrinta.
I-roller coaster yakhe yokuqala ephrintiwe eyi-3D ifana no-1: 25 esikalini se-Invertigo, i-coomerang roller coaster eguquliwe eshukumisela abagibeli bayo babheke phansi iningi lokugibela ngaphambi kokubasusa babuyele emuva kuthrekhi efanayo. Uqale ukusebenza ngemodeli ekuqaleni kuka-2017, esebenzisa ama-SOLIDWORKS ukumodela lezo zingxenye nokuziphrinta egalaji lakhe.
Njengomgibeli wesikhathi esisodwa we-roller coaster roller coaster, okwenza i-Invertigo replica kwaba lula kakhulu ngenxa yekhono lakhe lokuphinda akhe ukwakhiwa nokukala kokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe. USchmotzer umane wathatha ukwakheka kwe-coaster, wathumela idatha ye-XYZ kuspredishithi se-Excel, wayesehlisa ukuze ilingane nomfanekiso wakhe ohleliwe. Lapho idatha yenziwe miniaturized, wayithumela ku-SOLIDWORKS futhi waklama amathrekhi, izindlela, nokwethula isiteshi semodeli ekaliwe.
Inkinga enkulu kufakazelwe ukuthi izinqola zigijime kujantshi. Njengoba isisindo nobukhulu benqola yama-roller coaster yangempela kuyikhona okukuvumela ukuthi kugijime kuthrekhi, iSchmotzer bekufanele inciphise ukungqubuzana kwamasondo futhi ithole ukujika ku-roller coaster kahle nje ukuze inqola iqede ukusebenza kwayo ngaphandle kokuma noma ukudilika kusukela kumkhondo.
Inkinga yokushayisana ilungisiwe ngokusebenzisa ama-ceramic bearings nohlelo olusebenzisa uzibuthe, ngenkathi ishubhu lepulasitiki linamathele kuthrekhi kusiza ukugcina inqola isendleleni. Sekukonke, umfanekiso we-Invertigo wakhiwe ngamathrekhi angama-33 futhi ungena etafuleni lezinyawo elingu-4 × 8.
Impumelelo yakhe ngomfanekiso we-Invertigo 1:25 idonse amehlo abasebenzi bezokumaketha bakwa-SOLIDWORKS, abathole unjiniyela onekhono ukukhombisa i-roller coaster yakhe ephrintiwe i-3D engqungqutheleni yomhlaba ka-2019 SOLIDWORKS eDallas, eTexas ekuqaleni kukaFebhuwari.
Waze wakwazi ukusebenzisana nabaphathi beCedar Point Theme Park ngokufana nokuheha kwabo okusha kakhulu: i-Steel Vengeance. I-coaster esesimeni sokuphila ithatha enye yezindawo zayo ezindala ezikhangayo, i-Mean Streak, futhi ihlanganisa izinkuni nensimbi ukudala i-coaster yesimanje nge-drop engu-205-foot enikeza abagibeli imizuzwana engama-30 ye-airtime.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umfanekiso kaSchmotzer we-Steel Vengeance, usebenzisa izingxenye eziphrintiwe ezingama-3,500 XNUMX ezihlanganiswe nezinsimbi zethusi. Njengoba ebesebenza neCedar Point, bakwazile ukumnika amapulani okugibela.
Iphrojekthi yakhe yakamuva ayiqedile nguBatman: The Ride - uchungechunge lwama-roller coasters asuselwa kwifilimu ye-superhero ka-1989. Ukuthatha amava akhe kusuka ekwakhiweni kwakhe kwe-Invertigo ne-static Steel Vengeance, uSchmotzer usebenzise amaphrinta we-10 3D kanye ne-SOLIDWORKS API ukwenza inqubo yokudala ithrekhi isebenze — ukunciphisa isikhathi esithathile ukwenza ithrekhi ibe ngaphezu kwesikhathi esingaphezu kwenyanga.
Yize inqubo yokuphrinta yathatha amahora ayi-12 kuphela, uSchmotzer kwadingeka ahlukanise izingxenye zethrekhi ngosizo lomkakhe. Besebenzisa iMicrosoft Visual Studio, bakhe uchungechunge lwama-macros ukwenza inqubo yokuphinda isebenze. Esikhundleni sokuthatha amasonto amathathu ukuhlanganisa amathrekhi ndawonye (njengoba enza nge-Invertigo), uhlelo manje selwenza iningi lomsebenzi ngokuzenzekelayo.
ISchmotzer inamathani amaningi we-roller coaster emisebenzini. I-Millenium Force roller coaster eCedar Point inesimo semisebenzi eseqedile, kanti enye i-coaster yaseCedar Point ebizwa ngeMagnum XL-200 isivele idizayinelwe futhi ilungele ukuphrintwa (kufanele ayithande ngempela ama-roller coasters eCedar Point). Njengoba kwakusebenza okuningi, uMatt Schmotzer wayengakwazi — esebenzisa amagama kaZoolander — ukuvula ipaki lakhe elincane lezintuthwane!
