Iqela labaphandi abavela kwi Iilebhu ze-HRL usandula ukubhengeza ukuba emva kweenyanga ezininzi zophando kunye nophuhliso, baye ekugqibeleni baphumelela ekwenzeni itekhnoloji entsha yokuprinta ye-3D eyilelwe ukoyisa kakhulu ukusikelwa umda kokusebenza ngokuqhutywa kwendalo kwendalo. Ngale nto, ngokomlawuli weprojekthi, uZak Eckel, benze ulwakhiwo lwentlaka Ungaziprinta ngayo izinto ze3D zeemilo ezahlukeneyo kunye nobukhulu.
Le resin ichanekile sisiseko sale teknoloji intsha yokushicilela ye-3D kuba enkosi kuyo le nto inokutshiswa ukuyiguqula ibe yiceramic ejiyileyo nenganyangekiyo kwaphela. Ngokusekwe kuvavanyo, kubonakala ngathi izinto ezinesiphumo ngoku zinokumelana nobushushu obuphezulu be- ngaphezulu kwe-1.700 degrees Celsius ukuba ukuya kumaxesha alishumi ukomelela ngaphezu kwezinto zokwakha ezifanayo.
IiLabhoratri ze-HRL zenza itekhnoloji entsha yokuprinta ye-3D ukwenza iiseramikhi ezinganyangekiyo.
Ngokwesiqhelo iziqwenga zeceramic zidityanisiwe zisuka kumgubo ngokusarha, oko kuthi, kungenise ulwakhiwo porosity kungoko kunciphisa zombini iimilo ezinokufikelelwa kunye nokumelana neziqwenga zokugqibela. Ngenxa yoku, iiseramikhi zemveli zinzima kakhulu ukuphatha kuneepolymers okanye iintsimbi kuba azinako ukumodareyithwa okanye kwenziwe ngomatshini ngokulula okufanayo.
Njengoko kuxeliwe yi Ugqirha Tobias Schaedler, UMlawuli weNkqubo:
Ngenkqubo yethu entsha yokuprinta i-3D singazisebenzisa ngokupheleleyo iipropathi ezininzi ezinqwenelekayo zeceramic silicon i-ceramic, kubandakanya ubunzima obukhulu, amandla kunye nobushushu, kunye nokumelana nokubola kunye nokudleka.
