Kwintlangano kubonakala ukuba bacacile ukuba kubiza kakhulu ukuthumela into emhlabeni ukusuka kwi-ISS kunokuyiprinta ngokuthe ngqo emajukujukwini. Ngesi sizathu, bebeqhuba iimvavanyo, izifundo kunye novavanyo kwimephu yendlela kangangexesha elithile.
Kungekudala thaca into entsha yenziwe ngoswazi ekuthiwa ndibizwa ngokuba "NdinguPlastiki oluhlaza" kwaye banethemba lokuba yenza oosomajukujuku ukuba baprinte kwi-3D iinxalenye zokungabikho kwindawo.
Le entsha izinto, ziyilwe kwaye zaphuhliswa nguBraskem, yenzelwe ngokukodwa ukuququzelela ushicilelo lwe-zero. I-Barskem ngaphambili ibisebenzisana ekwenzeni umshicileli we "Made in the Space". Izixhobo ezithunyelwe yi-NASA kwi-ISS kuvavanyo lokuqala lwe-3D lokulinganisa.
Iindleko zokuthumela izinto emajukujukwini
Nangona iindleko zokuqala zokuphuhlisa iteknoloji yokushicilela i-zero-gravity zinokuphakama, ekuhambeni kwexesha ukonga kuya kuba kukhulu. Kutshanje injineli yesikhululo sendawo iqinisekisile ukuba iindleko phakathi kwe- $ 500 kunye ne- $ 1500 yezigidigidi ukumisela ishuttle yesithuba kwi-ISS kunye ne- $ 25.000 ukuya kwi-45.000 yeedola kwisiqingatha sekhilogram yomthwalo.
Ngelixa kunzima ukubala eyona mali inokugcinwa yi-teknoloji kaBraskem, kulula ukucinga ukuba iza kuphuma Ixabiso eliphantsi kakhulu lokuthumela ii-spools ze-filament engasindi kunokuhambisa iziqwenga ezahlukeneyo kunye nezinto ezingakhuselekanga ukuzisebenzisa. Banokubakho ezinokuthi zigcine iibhiliyoni zeedola.
Iinjongo ze-NASA ngokunxulumene noshicilelo lwe-3D
I-NASA ithathela ingqalelo ukuveliswa kwemfuno kwindawo njengenye yenkqubela phambili ebalulekileyo kwimishini yexesha elizayo kwiMars kunye nokuhlola kwabantu indawo enzulu. Inkqubo entsha yokuprinta i-3D ivumela oosomajukujuku ukuba bafumane uyilo lwedijithali kwaye bavelise izinto kwi-ISS.
Kwinqwelomoya esithubeni, indawo yokugcina imithwalo ibalulekile, kuba inyina inani lezixhobo okanye iimveliso ezinokuthunyelwa zisiwe kwi-ISS. Ke ukongeza ekubeni unenzuzo ngakumbi kuyasebenza ngakumbi ukwenza izinto ezingasetyenziswanga okanye iimveliso eziyimfuneko emajukujukwini njengoko kufuneka njaloUkuqinisekisa ukuba ugcino kunye nemithwalo yasemajukujukwini ayimoshwa.I-filament yoshicilelo lwe-3D ye-Braskem ivumela oosomajukujuku ukuba baprinte izinto ze-3D kumandla omxhuzulane.
El Isivumelwano sentsebenziswano phakathi kweenkampani zombini sibonisa isiganeko esiyimbali ngokudibanisa inkampani ehamba phambili kwi-thermoplastics efana Braskem kunye neNASA, yeyona nkampani ibalulekileyo kwishishini le-aerospace.
