Kusuka eChina, ikakhulukazi kusuka enkampanini I-Zhuai CTC, sathola ukukhishwa kwabezindaba simemezela ukwethulwa kwephrinta yokuqala yokusebenza okuningi lapho, ohlelweni olufanayo, a Uhlobo lwe-FFF lwephrinta ye-3D extruder ombaxambili, umshini wokugaya we-CNC kanye nomaka we-laser. Igama elikhethelwe lolu hlobo olusha oluzongena emakethe ngokushesha okukhulu kunendlela ocabanga ukuthi yi- «Umenzi wefomu".
Njengemininingwane, ngikutshele ukuthi okwamanje le phrinta entsha izofuna imali ngeplatifomu eyaziwa kakhulu yokubuyisa imali I-Kickstarter emkhankasweni ozohlala izinsuku ezingama-30 futhi lokho kuyimpumelelo ngiyabonga, phakathi kokunye, ngeqiniso lokuthi kunikezwa iyunithi kulabo abanentshisekelo yenani elincane le- Amadola ka-1.000, intengo engaphansi kwalokho ongathenga iphrinta ngemisebenzi efanayo emakethe namuhla.
Njengoba kunengqondo ngaphambi kwentengo enjalo, amahemuhemu aseqalile ukuzwakala ngokuthi le nkampani ibizothengisa kanjani iphrinta engezansi kwezindleko noma ngaphandle komkhawulo wenzuzo ngenkathi eminye imithombo ithi ukuwa nokwehliswa kwemali kwe-yuan kungaba imbangela enkulu yalokhu intengo. Njengemininingwane, inketho ye- vele uthole iphrinta ye-3D ngentengo engu- $ 700 futhi? ezinye izesekeli zingathengwa ngokwehlukana.
Akungabazeki ukuthi sibhekene nethuba eliyingqayizivele lokuthola iphrinta ye-3D ngentengo engaphezu kokuthakazelisa, ikakhulukazi uma sibheka ukuthi inkampani ayikabeki umkhawulo kuma-oda, wona-ke, angadala ukuwa kwenqwaba yamakhasimende lokho kungaholela ku- ukubambezeleka kokulethwa. Iklayenti ngalinye linenketho yokuqedela noma cha ukusebenza kwephrinta ngokungeza umshini wokusika we-CNC nomshini wokugaya.
