Enhlanganweni kubonakala sengathi kucace bha ukuthi kubiza kakhulu ukuthumela into isuka emhlabeni iye ku-ISS kunokuyiphrinta ngqo esikhaleni. Ngalesi sizathu, bebeqhuba izivivinyo, izifundo kanye nokuhlola kumephu yabo yomgwaqo isikhathi esithile.
Muva nje bethule indaba entsha enziwe ngomoba abawubize ngokuthi "NginguPlastiki oGreen" futhi abathemba ngawo vumela osomkhathi bakwazi ukuphrinta izingxenye ezisele ze-3D esikhaleni.
Lokhu okusha impahla, yakhelwe futhi yathuthukiswa nguBraskem, yakhelwe ngokukhethekile ukusiza ukuphrinta okungu-zero gravity. AbakwaBarskem bake basebenzisana phambilini ekwenzeni iphrinta ye- “Made in the Space”. Izinsiza ezathunyelwa yi-NASA ku-ISS ekuhlolweni kokuqala kokuphrinta kwe-3D ngamandla adonsela phansi.
Izindleko zokuthumela impahla esikhaleni
Yize izindleko zokuqala zokuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe bokuphrinta i-zero-gravity zingase zibe phezulu, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ukonga kuzoba kukhulu. Muva nje unjiniyela wesiteshi sasemkhathini ukuqinisekisile ukuthi kubiza phakathi kwama- $ 500 no- $ 1500 billion ukwethula umkhumbi-mkhathi oya kwi-ISS kanye no- $ 25.000 kuya ku- $ 45.000 engxenyeni ngayinye yekhilogremu yempahla.
Yize kunzima ukubala inani eliqondile lemali ubuchwepheshe bukaBraskem obungonga, kulula ukucabanga ukuthi lizophuma kushibhile kakhulu ukuthumela ama-spools wentambo engasindi kunokuthumela izingcezu ezahlukahlukene nezesekeli ezingaphephile ukuzisebenzisa. Kungenzeka okungenzeka konga izigidigidi zamaRandi.
Izinhloso ze-NASA maqondana nokuphrinta kwe-3D
I-NASA ibheka ukukhiqizwa okudingeka kakhulu esikhaleni njengenye yezintuthuko ezibalulekile zohambo oluzayo lweMars nokuhlola komuntu isikhala esijulile. Uhlelo olusha lwe-3D lokuphrinta luvumela osomkhathi ukuthola imiklamo yedijithali futhi bakhiqize izinto ezikwi-ISS.
Endizeni eya emkhathini, indawo yokugcina impahla ibalulekile, ngoba ilinganisela inani lezinto zokwakha noma imikhiqizo engathunyelwa futhi ihanjiswe ku-ISS. Ngakho-ke ngaphezu kokuba nenzuzo ethe xaxa kusebenza kahle ukudala izingxenye zokuphumula noma imikhiqizo edingekayo esikhaleni njengoba kudingeka, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isitoreji nempahla yemikhumbi-mkhathi ayimoshwa. Intambo yokunyathelisa ye-3D kaBraskem ivumela osomkhathi ukuphrinta izinto ze-3D ngamandla adonsela phansi.
El isivumelwano sokusebenzisana phakathi kwalezi zinkampani zombili simaka umcimbi oyingqophamlando ngokuhlangana inkampani ehamba phambili kuma-thermoplastics afana ne- Braskem nge-NASA, inkampani ebaluleke kakhulu embonini ye-aerospace.
