Boeing Iyinkampani okuthi uma ikhonjwe okuthile ezinyangeni ezisanda kwedlula, kungenxa yokuzibophezela kwayo okukhulu kubuchwepheshe obusha njengokuphrinta kwe-3D. Ngenxa yalokhu, yenze utshalomali olukhulu ocwaningweni nasekuthuthukisweni okukuvumele ukuthi kudlulele phambili kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezithakazelisa kakhulu abakhiqizi bezindiza ezifana neBoing, njenge ukukhiqizwa kwezingxenye ze-titanium ze-3D eziphrintiwe.
Njengoba isanda kumemezela ekukhishweni kwayo kwakamuva kwabezindaba, kubonakala sengathi iBoeing izoqala ukusebenzisa lezi zinhlobo zezingxenye ezakhiwe ukuphrinta kwe-3D endizeni yayo yezindiza engu-787 Dreamliner ngenxa yokuthi zisanda kuvunywa yiFederal Aviation Authority. Njengemininingwane, phawula ukuthi iBoeing ilinganisela ukuthi ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwalezi zingxenye eziphrintiwe ungonga kufika ku- $ 3 million ezindlekweni zokukhiqiza ngendiza ngayinye ongena ezindizeni.
IBoeing izonciphisa kakhulu izindleko zayo zokukhiqiza ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kokuphrinta kwe-3D.
Njengemininingwane, ngikutshele ukuthi lezi zingxenye ze-titanium ezenziwe ngokunyathelisa kwe-3D zizokhiqizwa yinkampani yaseNyakatho Melika INorsk Titanium sibonga inqubo entsha yokukhiqiza ebhaphathizwe ngegama le- Ukufakwa kwePlasma okusheshayo. Le nkampani ukuphela kwempahla eminingana ekwazile ukwenza zonke izinhlobo zezingxenye ngaphansi kokucaciswa okunzima okubekwe yiBoeing uqobo.
Le nqubo isebenza ngendlela elula futhi eyinkimbinkimbi njengoba kungenzeka ukuthi incibilikise i-titanium wire ngegesi ye-inert argon ngokunemba okukhulu. Le nqubo ivumela ukuguqulwa kocingo lwe-titanium lube izingxenye eziyinkimbinkimbi ezisetshenziselwa ukwakheka nokuphepha kwezicelo ezibucayi. Ngesikhathi senqubo yokukhiqiza, inkampani isungule uhlelo olukwazi ukuqapha ingxenye ngayinye izikhathi ezingama-2.000 ngomzuzwana ukuqinisekisa ikhwalithi yomkhiqizo wokugcina.
