Sineeprinta ze3D phakathi kwethu ixesha elide, kodwa njengakubashicileli be-2D, iindleko zomshicileli wolu hlobo zisephezulu kubasebenzisi abaninzi, kubandakanya iinkampani kunye namaziko. Nangona kunjalo, isifundo saseyunivesithi sigqibe kwelokuba abashicileli be3D ngoku banokufikeleleka kuwo wonke umntu, bekwazi ukubuyisa imali esiyichithe kwiinyanga nje ezimbalwa.
Isifundo sivela kwiDyunivesithi yaseMichigan kwaye nangona ingasixeleli indlela yokuphepha ukuhlawula kwivenkile yomshicileli we3D, siyabona njengeenyanga ezimbalwa ukubuyisa imali esiyihlawule ngayo.
El Hardware Libre ube nendima enkulu koku kwaye ngokophononongo, Iiprojekthi ezinje ngeRepRap kunye nezinto ze-elektroniki ezinje ngeArduino okanye iRaspberry Pi zenze ukuba iindleko zokugcina zigcine kakhulu. Kodwa eyona inomdla kuyo yonke into kukuba oovimba abagcina izinto simahla bazele zizinto zemihla ngemihla esinokuziprinta.
Iiprojekthi ezinjengeRepRap zivumela umshicileli wethu we-3D ukuba azilungise
Omnye wababhali bokufunda sele eneenyanga usebenzisa umshicileli we-3D ukubonelela ngezinto zemihla ngemihla esizifunayo kwimihla yethu. Ngokwenza ukubala konke oku kunye neendleko zokuprinta i-3D, into nganye ikwazile ukugcina ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezingama-90 zeendleko kwivenkile.
Oku kugcina kwisiqwenga ngasinye esongezwe ngaphezulu kweenyanga, kukhokelela kwixabiso eliphezulu kunayo nayiphi na iprinta ye-3D, ke Ngumcimbi weenyanga ngaphambi kokuba umsebenzisi othenge umshicileli we-3D afumane yonke imali ayichithe kwisixhobo. Into engakhange yenzeke kwiinyanga ezidlulileyo kuba nangona ungathenga umshicileli we-3D, ukubakho kokuprinta izinto zemihla ngemihla kwakunqabile.
Ngokwam, ndicinga ukuba isifundo silungile, kodwa ndicinga ukuba sishiya into efunwa ngabaprinta abaninzi be-3D: iskena se3D, into enomdla ngakumbi esisizalisekisa kakuhle xa sifuna ukuvelisa into yasekhaya.
Ndicinga ukuba zombini umshicileli we-3D kunye nesikena sezinto ze-3D zizinto eziyakufuneka kancinci kancinci ekhayeni, njengoko izixhobo ezithile zifuneka ngoku. Kwaye wena, Ucinga ntoni ngolu phononongo? Ngaba ucinga ukuba ixabiso labashicileli be3D liwile kakhulu? Ngaba ucinga ukuba oovimba abagcina izinto zedijithali basebenza kakuhle?
