UMat Boyle uyi-VP ye-Engineering eShapeways futhi, eposini yakamuva evela kuye kuqhubeke UkugcwalaOverflow, yembula ezinye zezindlela inkampani ezisebenzisayo ukuhlinzeka ngejubane eliphezulu, izinsizakalo zokuphrinta ze-3D zomhlaba jikelele.
Shapeways Umlando
AmaShapeways abe ngenye yezinsizakalo zokuphrinta ze-3D ezisebenza isikhathi eside kunazo zonke ezitholakala emphakathini. Bethule eNetherlands kudala, nangaphambi kokufika kokuphrinta kwe-desktop 3D lapho amalungelo obunikazi eqala ukuphela ngo-2009. Isu labo lokuqala kwakuwukuvumela abathengi ukuthi bacele izingxenye eziphrintiwe esikhundleni sokuzama ukusebenzisa amaphrinta we-3D ayinkimbinkimbi uqobo.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi abakwaShapeways bethule “izitolo” zabaculi ukumaketha ukwakheka kwabo, futhi ngaleyo ndlela baqhube imisebenzi eminingi yokuphrinta ye-3D yengqalasizinda yabo yokuphela emuva. Kodwa-ke, njengoba i-craze yokuphrinta ye-3D yabathengi yehlile, iShapeways muva nje ibigxile ezinhlelweni zokuphrinta ze-3D zezimboni, yize isasekela isisekelo sabathengi bayo sokuqala.
Ngivakashile Isayithi leShapeways eBrooklyn ngo-2013, kepha kungenzeka ukuthi iguqulwe ngokuphawulekayo kusukela lapho. Mhlawumbe kufanele ngihlelele okunye ukuvakasha.
Lokho kuvakasha kuveze izimfihlo ezingemuva kweShapeways, okubandakanya isambulo esasiletha izinhlobo ze-3D kaningi asinakuprintwa futhi kwakudingeka sihlolwe ngabantu futhi kwesinye isikhathi sibuyiselwe kulowo ofake isicelo sokuphinda sakhe kabusha.
AmaShapeways anamuhla
UBoyle uchaza izinyathelo ezintathu ezithathwayo ekufakweni komsebenzi, ukuqinisekiswa, amanani entengo nokulungiswa:
“Imisebenzi yokuqinisekisa imodeli ikhokhiswa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imodeli ingaphrintwa kwasekuqaleni. Lokhu kuhlolwa kuqinisekisa ukuthi ifayili livumelekile, nokuthi siyalicubungula, nokuthi imodeli iphindaphindekile — iqinisa amanzi. Izinsizakalo zokubala intengo zinesibopho sokwenza izinto zentengo zamamodeli wethu, kufaka phakathi kepha kungakhawulelwe kuvolumu, ukubalwa kwengxenye, nendawo engaphezulu. Ekugcineni, ukulungisa izinsiza kusisiza silungise amamodeli wethu wamakhasimende futhi siqinisekise ukuthi ayaphrinta. Lokhu kufaka phakathi izinyathelo ezifana nokulungisa ama-meshes, ukunciphisa amamodeli ukunciphisa ukubalwa konxantathu, nokulungisa ama-matric afakwe kwimodeli. ”
Kubukeka sengathi amaShapeways ayisebenzisile le nqubo ngokusebenzisa i-automation yefu. Bathuthukise uhlobo "lwamapayipi" lapho izicelo ezingenakubalwa zigeleza ngalezi zinyathelo ziye ekukhiqizweni. UBoyle uyanezela:
“Lapho sesizisebenzisile lezi zinsizakalo, bekufanele sizihlanganise zibe yilokho esikubiza ngokuthi iModeli Processing Pipeline. Leli payipi luchungechunge lwamasevisi achazwe ngenhla angena kufayela le-3D ekuqaleni futhi akhiphe i-3D Model enentengo ephelele, ephrintekayo, enikezwe kuShapeways.com. Siwachaze la mapayipi kwenye insizakalo ebizwa ngokuthi uMqondisi, okuyigrafu eqondisiwe ye-acyclic yezinsizakalo zokulungisa imodeli. ”
Lokhu kwenzeka ngokuzenzakalela futhi umphumela uboniswa ku-3D kocelayo. Kodwa-ke, uBoyle uchaza ukuthi ababukeli be-3D abajwayelekile abasuselwa kuwebhu badinga ukuthi yonke imodeli ye-3D idluliswe, enganikeza ukuvulwa kwabafana ababi ukuba babambe imodeli ye-3D bese bayikopisha. Ukulwa nalolu songo, abakwaShapeways bekufanele baklame isibukeli sabo esiphephile se-3D, besebenzisa ithuluzi elisha abalakhile elibizwa ngeShapeJS.
Ukukhiqizwa KweShapeways
UBoyle wembula usayizi wemisebenzi yamanje yeShapeways:
“I-Shapeways inezindawo ezimbili zokunyathelisa ze-3D ezisebenzisa cishe imishini engama-80 isiyonke, inethiwekhi yokuhlinzeka ngabalingani abangaphezu kwama-70 bokukhiqiza bezinto ezichichimayo nezinto ezikhethekile, kanye nomkhondo wokusabalalisa womhlaba wonke. Sicubungula izingxenye ezingaphezu kwezingu-10,000 ngazinye (futhi ngokuvamile ezihlukile) ngohlelo lwethu nsuku zonke. Ukuze siqondise wonke lo msebenzi, sakhe ithuluzi le-Enterprise Resource Planning (noma i-ERP), i-Inshape, kusukela phansi, igxile ezinseleleni ezihlukile ezethulwe ukuphrinta kwe-3D. ”
Kubukeka sengathi abakwaShapeways baphinde bazakhela “uhlelo lokupakisha” lwabo olukhethekile. Lolu uhlelo olwamukela uchungechunge lwamamodeli we-3D wamakhasimende futhi "luwafake" kumthamo wokwakha wamaphrinta we-3D wezimboni asetshenziswa yinkampani. Lobu ubuchwepheshe obubaluleke kakhulu ngoba buvumela ukuphrinta ngakunye ukukhulisa imali ngokuthola izicelo zamakhasimende eziningi emsebenzini ngamunye.
Le nkinga akuyona into encane, njengoba iShapeways inenkinga yokuxuba izingxenye zamakhasimende ngaphakathi komsebenzi ofanayo. Izingxenye ezincane, ngokwesibonelo, zingadideka kalula nezinye. Ngakho-ke esinye isixazululo engisibonile ngenkathi ngivakashile kwaba ukwakhiwa "kwamakheji" esikhashana angahlanganisa iqembu lezingxenye ndawonye. Lokhu kuzoba okuphrintiwe nge-3D bese kulahlwa ngemuva kokuthi iqembu lezingxenye lisusiwe.
Ibhizinisi lenkonzo yokuphrinta ye-3D manje seliyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, futhi ukwenza inzuzo kakhulu, okuningi kufanele kwenziwe ngemishini. Kubukeka sengathi abakwaShapeways benze kanjalo.
