Ngezinga elifanayo lokuthi wonke amakhono amarobhothi amanje athuthuka, into eyenzeka ngejubane elisheshayo, kunezinye izinto ezisathuthukayo, njengobukhona bazo, into okumele nayo ithuthukiswe ukuze ekugcineni abantu phezulu ebamukela. Impendulo yalo mbuzo ingavela eqenjini labaphenyi abavela ku MIT sibonga umqondo wayo we isikhumba esiphrintiwe.
Njengoba nabo uqobo bephawule ephepheni elishicilelwe lapho besitshela khona ngeprojekthi yabo, kusobala ukuthi banqumile liphefumulelwe ibhungane legolide, isinambuzane esinezici ezikhethekile zokukwazi ukukhipha isikhumba saso futhi sakhe umbala ohlukile lapho kudingeka ukuzifihla. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, bathole ukuthi lesi sikhumba sokwenziwa, okumele sigcwale izinzwa ukwenza imisebenzi yerobhothi, singenziwa kusetshenziswa ukuphrinta kwe-3D.
I-MIT isikhombisa umqondo wayo omusha wesikhumba samarobhothi esenziwe ukuphrinta kwe-3D.
Enye yezinhloso eziyinhloko zalobu buchwepheshe obusha ukudlulisa umqondo othintekayo okhona namuhla kunoma yisiphi isikrini se-smartphone esikhunjeni salesi sizukulwane esisha samarobhothi, esizovumela singakwazi ukuxhumana nabo ngokubathinta noma yikuphi emzimbeni wabo.
Njengemininingwane, ngikutshele ukuthi lesi sikhumba esisha samarobhothi aphrintiwe kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe be-3D, sibonga ngokoqobo ngokusetshenziswa kwephrinta I-Multifab, imodeli encane ngokuya ngobukhulu kepha okuthi, ngemuva kochungechunge lwezinguquko, ikwenze kwaba namandla okuhlola lokhu kusengaphambili okukhangayo lapho kufanele kusetshenziswe uketshezi olusebenza njenge-semiconductor okumele ludlule kwisingeniso nenqubo yokuqina. Inkinga enkulu abebe nayo bekuwukuhlola uhhafu wezinto zokwakha ezinjengethusi, izitsha zobumba kanye namapulasitiki amafomethi ahlukahlukene okuzokwazi ukuphindaphinda umsebenzi wemvelo walesi sinambuzane ebhodini lesifunda elilodwa, eliqinile elinyathelisiwe.
