Ngenxa yomsebenzi we I-3D4MD, inkampani ekhethekile ekuphrintweni kwe-3D yamadivayisi wezokwelapha ezinze eToronto, eCanada, osomkhathi abasebenza kwi-International Space Station bazokwazi ukwenza imikhiqizo yabo yezokwelapha njengama-splints namadivayisi okuhlinza ngenxa yokuphrinta kwe-3D esikhundleni sokuthi ibalinde kabusha ukuthunywa kuyenziwa. Lolu hlelo luzohlolwa kwi-International Space Station uqobo kusukela ekupheleni kukaJanuwari 2017.
Njengoba kubikiwe, wonke lo mqondo uvela kuDkt. UJulie Lynn Wong, umsunguli we-3D4MD othe lapho ezwa ukuthi i-NASA ithumele umshicileli we-3D kwi-International Space Station, wanquma ukuxhumana ne-ejensi ukuze ikwazi ukusebenzisana ngokubambisana ekwakhiweni nasekuklanyweni kwamathuluzi ezokwelapha angakhiwa, ngenxa yalobu buchwepheshe bokuphrinta ntathu.
Ngenxa yomsebenzi we Abakwa-3D4MD, osomkhathi abakwi-International Space Station bazokwazi ukuphrinta izinto zabo zokwelashwa.
Ngemuva kokusebenza kanzima isikhathi eside, ekugcineni inkampani futhi ikakhulukazi uDkt.Julie Lynn Wong uzobona izithelo zawo wonke lo mzamo kusukela, njengoba udokotela uqobo ephawule:
Kule nyanga efanayo sizobe senza umlando wezokwelapha ngokunyathelisa kwe-3D kwamathuluzi ezokwelapha okuqala esikhaleni.
Kuleli qophelo kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi akukhona nje ukuthumela umdwebo bese uwuprinta kepha sikhuluma ngezinto eziwukuthi egcizelele ngokugcwele. Sinesibonelo esicacile ekwakhiweni kwezicucu zeminwe, i-astronaut ngayinye kufanele ibe neyayo futhi isixazululo silula njengokusebenzisa i-laser scanner, ukuthumela izilinganiso kuma-laboratories enkampani lapho i-splint izokwakhelwa khona kamuva., Izokwenziwa isikhala.
Ngaphezu kwemikhiqizo enjengeziqephu zeminwe ezenziwe ngezifiso ngokuphelele ze-astronaut ngayinye, inkampani ikhombise okusha Ithuluzi lamazinyo eli-3 kwele-1 lokho kungasiza ekushintsheni kwanoma yikuphi ukugcwaliswa kanye ne- imodeli ekwazi ukuhlola izinzwa ikwazi ukunquma isimo se-astronaut uma ilimala.
