Inkampani eyaziwayo yaseDatshi Philips ufumene nje ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza elichaza ukwenziwa okuyimfuneko ukwenza uhlobo abicah intambo yeeprinta ze3D ezinakho nawuphi na umsebenzisi ukuvelisa iindawo ngaphaya kuba, oku kukusetyenziswa abafuna ukukunika kwiPhilips, iimveliso zokukhanyisa.
Sithetha ngokukodwa malunga nelungelo elilodwa lomenzi WO 2016/134972 kwaye kuyo, njengoko ubona ukuba ucofa kwikhonkco, ifayile ye- indlela yokwenza izinto ezisekwe kwisilicone. Ithetha ngesisombululo esisekwe ekubekweni kwethontsi ngenaliti, ngokufanayo ngokusebenza kwabo bakhoyo kwiprinta ye-inki, ethi emva koko ikhanyiswe ngokukhanya kwe-ultraviolet ukuqala inkqubo yokupolishwa komxube.
UPhilips sele esebenza ekumiliseleni intambo entsha yeselicone ebonakalayo.
Njengoko kuchaziwe, kufuneka kuthathelwe ingqalelo oko eli nyathelo lokuqala lokumodareyitha elikhona kwilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza le-Philips aligqibekanga nangona inika imathiriyeli ukungqinelana okwaneleyo ukuqhubeka nokufaka izendlalelo eziphezulu. Emva kweli nyathelo, kufuneka kwenziwe i-polymerization yesibini, ngeli xesha ngokongeza ubushushu, apho into iqinile ngokupheleleyo, ukugcina iipropathi zesilicon njengokukhanya kwayo, imichiza kunye nokumelana ne-thermal, ukufakelwa kombane okanye ukutyeba.
Okwangoku inyani kukuba i-silicone yinto engasetyenziswanga kakhulu ekuprintweni kwe-3D ngenxa yobunzima obubangelwa kukusetyenziswa kwayo. Ngale patent, uPhilips wazisa isisombululo esinokubakho xa esebenza nale nto isekwe ekusetyenzisweni kwemali encinci ethi, xa inyangelwe kukukhanya kwe-UV, ifezekise kuphela ukungqinelana okwaneleyo kwe-gelatinous ukuqhubeka nokwazisa umaleko omtsha kwinto, sele inyathelo elilandelayo, qhubeka kunyango olushushu olukuyo okungqinelana nayo yonke into. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, ukubheja okungaphezulu kunomdla inikeza usetyenziso olutsha kolu hlobo lwezixhobo.
