Uma kuziwa kwezinye zentuthuko engavamile kakhulu kumasu okukhiqiza okungeziwe - okuhlanganisa a indawo yokukhosela eyakhiwe ngezikelemu zikasilika - I-MIT's Mediated Matter Group ithatha ikhekhe.
Iqembu - eliholwa ngumboni wokuphrinta we-3D Neri Oxman e-MIT's Media Lab - igxile “Ekuklanyweni Okuphefumulelwe Kwemvelo kanye Nemvelo Ephefumulelwe Ngokuklama” ngamaphrojekthi amaningi ahlola ukuphambana komklamo wekhompiyutha, ukwakhiwa kwedijithali, isayensi yezinto zokwakha kanye nebhayoloji yokwenziwa ngenhloso yokusebenzisa lolo lwazi ukuklama izikali. kusukela esikalini esincane kuya esikalini sokwakha.
Kuphrojekthi yabo yakamuva, leli qembu lihlanganyele ne-MIT's Glass Lab ukuthuthukisa i-G3DP - inkundla yokukhiqiza enezengezo eklanyelwe ukuphrinta ingilazi ebonisa ngale.
Ngokusekelwe kumqondo wegumbi elishisisa kabili elistakiwe, inqubo isebenzisa igumbi eliphezulu elisebenza "I-Kiln Cartridge" kuyilapho igumbi eliphansi, elipholile lisiza ekuhlanganiseni izakhiwo zokugcina. Ngokusho kweqembu, i-Kiln Kartridge isebenza cishe ku-1900 ° F futhi ifaka izinto ezibonakalayo ngokusebenzisa umlomo wombhobho we-alumina-zircon-silica eduze. indlela enqunyiwe.
“Ingilazi yasendulo kodwa yesimanje, evalekile kodwa engabonakali, yaqala ukudalwa eMesophothamiya naseGibhithe Lasendulo eminyakeni engu-4,500 XNUMX edlule. Izindlela zokupheka ezinembile zokukhiqizwa kwayo - ikhemistri namasu - ngokuvamile zihlala ziyizimfihlo eziqashwe kakhulu. Ingilazi ingabunjwa, ibunjwe, iphephethelwe, ipulekwe noma ifakwe i-sintered; izimfanelo zayo ezisemthethweni zihlobene eduze nezinqubo ezisetshenziselwa ukwakheka kwayo,” kusho iqembu.
"Le phrojekthi ihlanganisa ubuchwepheshe besimanje, ngamathuluzi engilazi akudala asungulwe kanye nobuchwepheshe obukhiqiza izakhiwo zengilazi ezinoveli ezinokusetshenziswa okuningi okungenzeka."
