Sele sisazi kangangexesha elithile ukuba amaqela eFomula 1 anqabile njengokuba enjalo UMcLaren-Honda bavavanya zonke izibonelelo ezibandakanya itekhnoloji enje ngokushicilelwa kwe-3D kumaqela abo banokubanika. Emva kweenyanga zovavanyo, iinkokheli zombini ezi nkampani khange zivuyiswe ziziphumo, kodwa sele zikhethile ukuba ngubani oza kuba ngumthengisi wolu hlobo lomatshini. Kwimeko ekhethekileyo kaMcLaren-Honda ekugqibeleni baye bakhetha inkampani yaseMelika kunye ne-Israeli ekhethekileyo kwicandelo lokushicilela le-3D Stratasys.
Kwisivumelwano esenziwe ziinkokheli zeStratasys kunye neqela leFomula 1, sifumanisa ukuba zombini ezi nkampani zizibophelele ngokudibeneyo ukuphuhlisa amalungu amatsha, izixhobo kunye nezisombululo zeteknoloji eyilelwe ukuphucula ukusebenza kweemoto zabo zeFomula 1 kangangoko kunokwenzeka xa bekhuphisana, kokubini ukulungiselela kunye nakugqatso ngokwalo. Ukuqala, iStratasys iya kubonelela uMcLaren ngeeprinta zayo eziphambili ze3D, i FDM kunye I-Poly-Jet inkampani yaseBritane eza kuzama ngayo ukwakha izinto zikwimeko yobugcisa yeeprototypes ezibonakalayo nezisebenzayo.
UMcLaren uthembele kwiStratasys ukuzisa ukushicilelwa kwe3D kwiimoto zayo.
KwiStratasys, njengoko umphathi omkhulu wenkampani ephawulile, Ilan Levin:
Kuyasivuyisa ukusebenza neqabane elingadinwayo, elinombono nelinebhongo. UMcLaren uzokusebenzisa ithuba lethu elinama-30 eminyaka yamava kwiiprinta ze-3D kunye nezinye izinto ukuzizinzisa njengomgangatho kuphuhliso lobuchwephesha kwii-motorsports. I-Stratasys nayo iya kufumana ulwazi kunye nedatha esekwe kwizicelo zomsebenzi ophezulu ezisetyenzisiweyo kwimotorports, esinokuthi emva koko sisebenzise kubaxumi bethu kwimizi-mveliso yeemoto kunye nenqwelo moya. Kwangelo xesha, uMcLaren uya kuxhamla kwimveliso ephezulu, ngokuchaneka kobunjineli kunye noluhlu olubanzi lwezixhobo ezivela kubashicileli bethu be3D.
Kwicala lakhe, njengoko kuphawuliwe nguye U-Eric BoullierUmphathi kaMcLaren:
Isakhono sokwakha, sokubumba kunye nokuvavanya amanqaku amatsha sisixhobo esixabisekileyo kulo naliphi na iqela lomdyarho elinamandla nelizimeleyo. Isivumelwano sethu neStratasys asizukunyusa ixabiso lethu kuphela kule ndawo, kodwa siyakuvumela ukuba siphonononge ngamandla kwaye sisebenzise izinto ezintsha zabashicileli bakho be3D. Ukuzinikela kweMotorsports kwiiprototypes ezikhawulezayo kunye nolunye ulwakhiwo kuqinisekisiwe kwaye sinomdla wokufumana inkonzo elungileyo kumanyano lwethu neStratasys
