UJesse Cross uthetha ngendlela iileser ezenza kube lula ngayo ukugoba intsimbi ibe ziimo ze-3D.
Le yindlela entsha yokugoba intsimbi engenasici enamandla aphezulu ephindwe kabini enokuba nefuthe elikhulu kwimveliso yeemoto. Le nkqubo, ebizwa ngokuba yiLightfold, ithathe igama layo ngenxa yokusebenzisa i-laser ukufudumeza ishiti yentsimbi engenasici kwindawo ethile kumgca ofunwayo wokugoba. Amaphepha entsimbi engenasici ephindwe kabini adla ngokusebenzisa izixhobo ezibizayo, kodwa inkampani entsha yaseSweden iStilride iphuhlise le nkqubo intsha ukuvelisa izikuta zombane ezingabizi kakhulu.
Umyili wemizi-mveliso kunye nomsunguli weStilride, uTu Badger, ebesoloko ejonge ingcinga yesikuta sombane esingabizi kakhulu ukusukela eneminyaka eli-19 ngo-1993. UBeyer ukususela ngoko usebenzele uGiotto Bizzarrini (uyise weenjini zeFerrari 250 GTO kunye neLamborghini V12), iBMW Motorrad kunye neHusqvarna. Inkxaso-mali evela kwiarhente yokuvelisa izinto ezintsha yaseSweden iVinnova yenze uBeyer wakwazi ukuseka inkampani waza waqalisa ukusebenza kunye nomsunguli kunye nomlawuli olawulayo uJonas Nyvang. Ingcinga yeLightfold yaqalwa ngumvelisi wentsimbi engagqwaliyo waseFinland u-Outokumpu. UBadger waphuhlisa umsebenzi wokuqala kwiLightfold, esonga amaphepha asicaba entsimbi engagqwali ngerobhothi ukuze yenze ifreyimu ephambili yesikuta.
Amashiti entsimbi engenasici enziwa ngokugoba okubandayo, inkqubo efana nokugoba intlama encinci kodwa ngokwezinga lemizi-mveliso. Ukugoba okubandayo kuyayiqinisa loo nto, okwenza kube nzima ukugoba. Ukusebenzisa i-laser ukufudumeza intsimbi kumgca ogobayo ocetywayo, ngokuchanekileyo okukhulu okunokubonelelwa yi-laser, kwenza kube lula ukugoba intsimbi ibe yimo enamacala amathathu.
Enye inzuzo enkulu yokwenza isakhiwo sentsimbi engagqwali kukuba asigqwali, ngoko ke akufuneki sipeyintwe kodwa sisabukeka kakuhle. Ukungapeyinti (njengoko iSteelride isenza) kunciphisa iindleko zezinto, ukwenziwa, kwaye mhlawumbi ubunzima (kuxhomekeke kubungakanani besithuthi). Kukwakho neenzuzo zoyilo. Inkqubo yokusonga "idala i-DNA yoyilo ecacileyo," utshilo uBadger, "ngokungqubana okuhle komphezulu phakathi kwe-concave kunye ne-convex." Intsimbi engagqwali izinzile, inokuphinda isetyenziswe ngokupheleleyo kwaye inesakhiwo esilula. Ingxaki yee-scooters zanamhlanje, abaqulunqi baqaphela, kukuba zinesakhelo sentsimbi esityhubhu esigqunywe ngomzimba weplastiki, oqulathe iindawo ezininzi kwaye kunzima ukuwenza.
I-prototype yokuqala ye-scooter, ebizwa ngokuba yi-Stilride SUS1 (Sports Utility Scooter One), sele ilungile kwaye inkampani ithi "iza kuyichasa indlela yokucinga yokuvelisa eqhelekileyo ngokusebenzisa i-origami ye-robotic industrial ukugoba izakhiwo zesinyithi ezisicaba ukuze zihambelane nezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo." "Iipropati kunye neePropati zeJiyometri". Icala lokuvelisa likwinkqubo yokulinganisa yinkampani yophando nophuhliso iRobotdalen kwaye, xa le nkqubo imiselwe njengefanelekileyo kwezorhwebo, kulindeleke ukuba ifaneleke kungekuphela nje kwi-scooter yombane kodwa nakwiimveliso ezahlukeneyo. Icala lokuvelisa likwinkqubo yokulinganisa yinkampani yophando nophuhliso iRobotdalen kwaye, xa le nkqubo imiselwe njengefanelekileyo kwezorhwebo, kulindeleke ukuba ifaneleke kungekuphela nje kwi-scooter yombane kodwa nakwiimveliso ezahlukeneyo. Icala lemveliso likwinkqubo yokwenziwa imodeli yinkampani ye-R&D iRobotdalen kwaye xa le nkqubo sele ifanelekile kurhwebo, kulindeleke ukuba ifaneleke kungekuphela nje kwisikuta sombane kodwa nakwiimveliso ezahlukeneyo. Icala lokuvelisa lilawulwa yinkampani ye-R&D iRobotdalen kwaye xa le nkqubo ifunyenwe ukuba iyasebenza kwezorhwebo, kulindeleke ukuba isebenze kungekuphela nje kwii-e-scooters kodwa nakwiimveliso ezahlukeneyo.
Le projekthi ibandakanye abasebenzi abaninzi abanolwazi oluninzi, kuquka uphuhliso lwemveliso, uyilo lwentsimbi kunye nokuveliswa kwayo, i-Outokumpu ingumdlali ophambili.
Intsimbi engagqwaliyo ephindwe kabini ibizwa njalo kuba iimpawu zayo ziindibaniselwano zezinye iintlobo ezimbini, “i-austenitic” kunye ne-“ferritic”, ezinika amandla aphezulu okutsalwa (amandla okutsalwa) kunye nokulula kokuwelda. I-DMC DeLorean yeminyaka yoo-1980 yenziwe ngentsimbi engagqwaliyo esetyenziswa kakhulu ye-304 austenitic, engumxube wesinyithi, i-nickel kunye ne-chromium kwaye yeyona ixhathisa ukugqwala kuzo zonke iintsimbi ezingagqwaliyo.
