Daimler, Njengezinye iinkampani ezininzi ezinxulumene nomhlaba wezothutho zothutho ezinje, umzekelo, iRenault, isandula ukubhengeza ukuba bakulungele ukuqala inkqubo entsha yokuqhuba kumzi mveliso weelori waseMntla Melika yenza iindawo zeplastiki usebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-3D bokuprinta.
Ngokwengxelo epapashwe ngqo ngu Iilori zeDaimler eMntla Melika, Omnye wabadlali abaphambili kwimarike yokuvelisa iilori, inkampani ikholelwa ukuba ukushicilelwa kwe-3D lithuba elikhethekileyo lokusebenzela ngcono abathengi bayo, ngakumbi abo bafuna iinxalenye ekunzima ukuzifumana ngokusebenzisa imixokelelwane yonikezelo lwemveli.
UDaimler uqala inkqubo yakhe entsha yokulinga yokuvelisa iinxalenye zeplastiki ngokuprinta i-3D
Ngethuba lesigaba sokuqala sokuphunyezwa kwale nkqubo yokuyilwa kwamalungu ngokushicilelwa kwe-3D, iDaimler Trucks eMntla Melika iceba ukuqala usasaze inani eliqingqiweyo leenxalenye Ngelixa, kwelinye icala, liyakuzibophelela ekumemeni abathengi kunye neengcali ukuba bafumane uqeqesho ngelixa benikezela ngezimvo kunye nemibono yabo. Kwelinye icala, inkampani iya kusebenza ekuqokeleleni idatha ekusebenzeni kwezahlulo ukuze kuvavanywe imfuno enokubakho yexesha elizayo kwezi ntlobo zezahlulo.
Ukwenza le projekthi ibe yeyokwenyani kwaye inokwenzeka, iDaimler Truck North America kuye kwafuneka ifune intsebenziswano Indlu yeTekhnoloji, iofisi yeenkonzo zokuprinta i-3D namhlanje ezineminyaka engaphezu kwama-20 yamava kwimveliso eyongezelelweyo. Itekhnoloji ekhethiweyo yokushicilela i-3D ikhethwe yi-Selective Laser Sintering okanye i-SLS kwaye iziqwenga ezenziwe ziya kuthi zonke zihambe ngenkqubo yokuqinisekisa ukuqinisekisa ukuba ziyahlangabezana neemfuno ezizinzileyo zokuqina.
