Ngibheke iphrojekthi ethokozisayo eyenziwe yi-Protolabs, isevisi yokukhiqiza eyaziwayo.
Iphrojekthi okukhulunywa ngayo iqanjwe ngendlela emangalisayo “I-Wayzn Slide”, isistimu yokuvula iminyango yerobhothi ehlakaniphile eyenzelwe ukufinyelela kwezilwane ezifuywayo. Kuwumshini onamathela kumnyango oshelelayo ojwayelekile futhi ongavula futhi uvale umnyango ngokuzenzakalelayo. Lokhu ikwenza ngesethi yezinzwa noma ngomyalo okude nge-smartphone. Lokhu kunikeza isilwane sakho i-“Wayzn”. I-Protolabs ichaza ukuthi isebenza kanjani:
I-Wayzn Slide iyiphrofayili ephansi, isivuli esinamandla esingabekwa ngaphezu nje kwethrekhi yomnyango oslayidayo futhi sinamathisele kukho kokubili umnyango ne-jamb. Idivayisi yobuchwepheshe obuphezulu ixhuma ngokuphephile ku-inthanethi nge-WiFi. Uma inja ifuna ukuphuma noma ukungena, umnikazi uyaxwayiswa futhi angavele acindezele inkinobho ku-smartphone, ethumela isignali enjini yedivayisi. Injini idonsa isicabha ivuleke ngokwanele ukuze ivumele isilwane singene noma siphume, bese siyasivala.”
Le phrojekthi ibhekwe njengethakazelisa ngokwanele futhi ibalulekile ekutholeni umklomelo we-Protolabs “Cool Idea” kuphela, kodwa futhi ne-CES 2020 Innovation Award. Kubukeka kuyisistimu engasebenza kalula cishe kuwo wonke amakhaya anomnyango wevulandi futhi ekwazi ukuzifakela yona.
Ukuze ibhizinisi elifana naleli liphumelele ngale ndlela lidinga ukuthi kwenziwe uphenyo ngokuthi bazifeze kanjani izinhloso zabo.
Njengemisebenzi eminingi yemikhiqizo kulezi zinsuku, abantu baseWayzn ababona abakhiqizi; bangabakhiqizi bemikhiqizo nabakhangisi. Kwakudingeka bathembele kuchwepheshe bangaphandle ukuze basize ekwakheni ngokomzimba komkhiqizo. Kulokhu, baphendukela kumaProtolab ukuze bathole lolo sizo.
Ngokusho kweProtolabs:
Ama-Protolab enze kwaba nokwenzeka ukuthi i-Wayzn ikwazi ukwenza i-prototype evalekile ngokushesha nezingxenye zemishini isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokuphrinta be-3D stereolithography.
Ama-Protolabs aphrinte izingxenye ezahlukahlukene ngaphansi kokulungiswa okuvamile kokubalulekile okufana ne-ABS, i-Accuar Xtreme White. Ukuqedela ngokwezifiso okwengeziwe kwaqedwa ngokusahlabathi kanye nokudweba izingxenye ezibalulekile ukuze kube nokubukeka kwezinto ezibunjwe ngomjovo osetshenziswa ekugcineni.”
Ama-Protolab ngokusobala akwazile ukuphrinta i-3D amakhophi angu-156 ezingxenye ezihlukene ezingu-13 ngezinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili zomsebenzi wokuphindaphinda no-Wayzn. Phakathi nalokhu kuphindaphinda, basize i-Wayzn ukuthi icolise ukwakheka kwezingxenye ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi zikhiqizwa ngobuningi ngezindleko ezifanele.
Lo msebenzi wenze i-Wayzn yakwazi ukuthuthukisa umkhiqizo wayo ngokushesha futhi kubonakala sengathi umzamo waba nemiphumela emihle. Ngomklomelo e-CES, bazimisele ukudayisa amayunithi amaningi emphakathini. Futhi lokho kungaphakathi kwemakethe yamashumi ezigidi zamakhaya anezilwane ezifuywayo.
Ingxenye emangalisayo kimi ukuthi izinsizakalo ezifana ne-Protolabs' zimi ngomumo ukusiza izinkampani eziqalayo ekukhiqizeni imikhiqizo emisha kakhulu futhi ziqinisekise ukuthi zibekwe ezinyathelweni ezilandelayo ohambweni lwazo lwebhizinisi.
Eminyakeni edlule lonke lolu chungechunge lwemicimbi - futhi ikakhulukazi isivinini esenziwa ngaso - bekungaba iphupho eliphelele. Manje, umcimbi ojwayelekile.
Ngilindele ukuthi eminyakeni ezayo labo bethu kusukela namuhla bazomangala ngendlela efanayo ukuthi yiziphi izinsizakalo zokukhiqiza ezizokwazi ukufeza uma kubhekwa intuthuko engenzeka ezinqubweni zokuphrinta ze-3D nobuchwepheshe.
