Ngemuva kwezinyanga eziningi zomsebenzi onzima ngokwedizayini nokukhiqizwa, futhi ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokulawulwa kwekhwalithi okuningi, ekugcineni i- Isikhungo Esithuthukile se-Aerospace Technologies, eyaziwa kangcono ngokuthi I-CATEC, ezinze epaki i-Aeropolis eLa Rinconada (Seville), ikwazile ukuthi enye yezinhlelo zayo lapho yayisebenza ekwenziweni kwezingxenye ezenziwa ukuphrinta kwe-3D, ithunyelwe esikhaleni njengengxenye yesathelayithi yokufakelwa.
Njengoba kumenyezelwe, sikhuluma ngengxenye eyenziwe ukuphrinta kwe-3D enezici ezihlukile. Sinesibonelo ngosayizi waso, ngoba sikhuluma ngabathile 30 x 20 amasentimitha noma ukuthi kuzoba yingxenye yesinye seziphuphutheki ukuthi I-European Space Agency (I-ESA) ihlela ukungena ku-orbit ku-2018, lokhu kungokokuqala ukuthi ingxenye yalawa masathelayithi yenziwe enhlabathini yase-Andalusia.
Ngemuva kwesikhathi esiningi nomzamo, i-CATEC ekugcineni izothatha ingxenye ephrintiwe ye-3D emkhathini
Ngenxa yokufezeka kwalengqophamlando, kubonakala sengathi inhloso lesi sikhungo esakhelwa yona eminyakeni embalwa eyedlule iqala ukwakheka futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke ukucindezela. Njengesikhumbuzo, ngikutshele ukuthi senzelwe i- ukugqugquzela nokuthuthukisa ukwakhiwa kolwazi lobuchwepheshe nokudluliselwa kwalo endwangwini yokukhiqiza yezimboni ezinikele emkhakheni we-aerospace.
Ukwenza lo msebenzi, isikhungo namuhla siyaqasha ngaphezu kwabaphenyi abangama-60. Kulaba basebenzi kufanele sengeze abasebenzi bezobuchwepheshe abakhethekile, ikakhulukazi ongoti kwezobunjiniyela bezimboni, i-aeronautics, ezokuxhumana ngocingo, izinto zokwakha, ubuchwepheshe bolwazi kanye namakhemikhali. Njengoba bekulindelekile, akukho kushoda kwabafundi abaphothule kweminye imisebenzi yezobuchwepheshe ukuxhasa nokuqina kohlaka lwangaphakathi lwesikhungo.
