Akukho mntu uya kumangaliswa ukuba sithetha ngendlela i-Army yase-United States, nokuba yeyiphi na imeko, oko kukuthi, nokuba ngaba basemanzini, i-navy, imikhosi yomoya ... ingaphezu komdla ekuhloliseni yonke into iteknoloji entsha inokunikela indawo yomkhosi. Enye yezona zinto zintsha kwaye ezinokubonelela ngokusebenza ngakumbi, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, kukusetyenziswa kweedrones ezincinci kunye nokuprinta kwe3D. Ngale nto engqondweni kwi ILebhu yoPhando yaseFort Benning, ebekwe eGeorgia, iqela leenjineli belisebenza kwiprojekthi enomdla kakhulu, ubuncinci xa ifikelela kwintengiso yoluntu.
Sithethe malunga nenkqubo ephuhlisiwe apho uthotho lweemodeli ezintsha zeedrones ezincinci ezenziwe ngokushicilelwa kwe-3D zikubonile ukukhanya, oko kuthetha ukuba ngoku nayiphi na iyunithi yomkhosi wase-United States iya kuba nakho ukuqala phrinta eyakho idrones kwimfuno ukwenza imisebenzi ethile. Ngokutsho U-Eric Spero, intloko yeqela elijongene nophuhliso lwale projekthi, inkqubo iye yaphuhliswa ukwenza iidrones ezincinci ezidingwa ngamajoni kwimishini yabo besebenzisa iiprinta ezinemilinganiselo emithathu.
Umkhosi wase-United States uya kuba nakho ukuprinta iidrones zayo kwimfuno kwisithuba esingadlulanga kwiiyure ezingama-24.
Iprojekthi, ngokuchaseneyo nento onokuyicinga, inzima ngakumbi kunayo yonke le nto kuba sithetha ngesiseko sedatha esinamakhulu ezicwangciso zoyilo zokwenza iidrones. Ngale ndlela, amajoni, xa ejongene nomsebenzi othile apho inkxaso yedrone ifunekayo, iya kubandakanya zonke iimfuno zabo kwifomu ethile eya kuthi, ngokuxhomekeke kumagalelo enkqubo, akhethe Uqwalaselo olulungileyo lwe-drone kwaye iyakuyivelisa ngokuprintwa kwe-3D kwithuba elingadlulanga kwiiyure ezingama-24.
Ngokutsho kwakhe UJohn gerdes, omnye weenjineli obeyinxalenye yeprojekthi:
Imveliso eyongeziweyo okanye ushicilelo lwe-3D lube lukhulu kwaye wonke umntu uyazi ukuba zininzi kangakanani izinto ezinokwenziwa ngeeprinta ezintathu-ntathu, ke sicinga ukuba sizakudibanisa obu buchwephesha butsha ukubonelela ngesisombululo kumajoni afuna into ngoku kwaye bayanikezela Ndifuna ukulinda.
