I-BeeHex ingenye yalezi zinkampani ezihlobene nomhlaba wokuphrinta kwe-3D okwazile ukuguqula imakethe ngendlela yayo. Akusizi ngalutho ukuthi sikhuluma ngenkampani ephethe ngokoqobo ukudala indlela futhi ikakhulukazi ubuchwepheshe obusebenzisayo NASA ukwenza ama-pizza osonkanyezi abazowadla kamuva ku-International Space Station.
Uma sibuyela emuva isikhashana, sithola ukuthi iBeeHex ibikhona eyasungulwa ngo-2015 nguBen Feltner, uChintan Kanuga, u-Anjan French noJordan French. Umqondo oyisisekelo ubukwazi kahle ukwenza i-pizza entsha ngezithako ezihamba phambili ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokuphrinta be-3D. Le phrojekthi, uma isikhule ngokwanele, yadonsa ukunaka kweNASA engazange inanaze ukubanikeza isibonelelo sika $ 125.000 ngonyaka ukuze bakwazi ukuthuthukisa iphrinta yabo.
IBeeHex izobophezeleka ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi osomkhathi abakwi-International Space Station bangadla i-pizza esanda kwenziwa.
Inqubo yokukhiqiza ilula impela, usebenzisa isisekelo esivuthayo into yokuqala eyiyona dala inhlama epheka kancane kancane ukwakha kamuva ungqimba wokuqala we utamatisi oxutshwe namanzi namafutha. Ezinyathelweni ezilandelayo ungqimba olusha lwamaprotheni nezendlalelo ezingeziwe zibekwe phezulu ngezithako ezahlukahlukene.
Ngenxa yalokhu kusebenza okuhlukile kungenzeka ukulungiselela ama-pizza osayizi abahlukahlukene nobubunjwa kanye nama-toppings ahlukile. Njengemininingwane, ngikutshele ukuthi ukwenza i-pizza okulungele ukudliwa ngale ndlela kuthatha imizuzu emine kuphela, engaphansi kwesigamu sesikhathi umuntu angadinga ukusisebenzisa ngamasu wendabuko.
