Ukubumba (inqubo yokukhiqiza, hhayi eyokubola kokudla) sekuneminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha ikhona isele lethusi elibunjiwe kusukela ngo-3200 BCE ngokuba phakathi kwezibonelo ezindala kakhulu ezisekhona. Isu lizivumelanise nezimo kanye nobuchwepheshe obuvelayo kuwo wonke umlando, kuze kufike futhi kufaka phakathi ama-resin asethwa ngokushesha, i-CAD, kanye (njengoba ubonile lapha ku-SolidSmack ngoLwesihlanu olwedlule) YouTube.
Onqenqemeni olophayo lobuchwepheshe bokwenza, ukuphrinta kwe-3D kufanelana kahle kakhulu. Buza uGabe Prero we I-Cufflink Junkie futhi, kamuva nje, I-BioSpawn:
“…Ngithathe amadizayini ethu aphindaphindayo e-3D, futhi ngisebenzisa i-Solidworks, ngawahlukanisa, ngawavimba ngemuva, futhi ngenza izikhonkwane zokukhwelana ukuze konke esizodinga ukukwenza ukuze si-ode izingxenye ezilungele ukuhlukaniswa kusuka ku-Shapeways, ngizishelele ku-pre- sika amafomu okhuni engangiwenzile, ngithele i-silicone, ngiyicwecwe, bese ngithela ipulasitiki yokulutha.”
Inqubo ifana neka-Ann Sidenblad kanye nekaVictoria Rose nge I-RawrzToys, umugqa wamathoyizi amancane enziwe ngokwezifiso anabalandeli ku MAKEzine, I-Mold3D, Futhi Amafomu. Eqinisweni, okuwukuphela komehluko wangempela phakathi kokuhamba komsebenzi kwalaba benzi isinyathelo lapho ukuphrinta kwe-3D kungena khona: I-Prero ithumela imiklamo ye-Shapeways yezibungu ngokwazo, kuyilapho i-Sidenblad iphrinta amakhosi ayo ngokuqondile, futhi yena noRose bazakhela ezabo izibungu ze-silicone kusukela ku-3D- izingxenye eziphrintiwe.
Kuzo zombili izimo, noma ngabe kudala izintambo zokudoba noma izingwenya ezigqokweni eziphezulu, abadali bagcizelela ukubaluleka kokuguquguquka okuphindaphindiwe okuza nokumataniswa kokuphrinta kwe-3D nokubunjwa. "Ngenye yezinto zethu zokulutha, siye sadlula izikhathi eziphindwe kayishumi nambili, futhi ikhono lokukuguqula lokhu ngenqubo yethu yesampula yokubumba bekubalulekile kithina ukushaya izikhathi ezibekiwe," kusho u-Prero.
Ngama-resin, amapulasitiki, i-silicone ephathekayo, nokuningi emakethe, kanye nokufinyeleleka okukhulayo kokuphrinta kwe-3D, kulula kunangaphambili ukusetha ukusethwa kwesilinganiso sokunemba/ukusethwa kokusakaza kweshabhu ukuze kwenziwe amamodeli asheshayo. Imiqondo ye-CAD ingaba izinto ezibonakalayo ezinsukwini ezimbalwa, ngaphandle kwemikhawulo yezinto ezibekwa ngezinye izikhathi ngokuphrinta. Ukuqeda nokwenza ngendlela oyifisayo izingcezu zokuphela kungabandakanya noma yini kusukela kwezinezezelwe ze-pigment ezimaphakathi nenqubo kuya kupende wokufutha, kusukela ekupholishweni kwegrit kuya ekudwebeni kwezandla ngama-acrylics.
I-jargon yokubumba nokuphonsa isabandakanya ama-anachronisms-sprues, amaqembu ezigebengu, abagijimi kanye ne-gates-kodwa kuyacaca ukuthi ubuchwepheshe buhambisana nezikhathi. Akukubi ngendlela esidlule usuku lwayo lokuzalwa lwesi-6000!
