U-Jesse Cross ukhuluma ngokuthi ama-laser akwenza kanjani kube lula ukugoba insimbi ibe yizimo ze-3D.
Ibizwa ngokuthi “industrial origami”, lena indlela entsha yokugoqa insimbi engagqwali ene-duplex enamandla amakhulu engaba nomthelela omkhulu ekwakhiweni kwezimoto.Inqubo, ebizwa ngokuthi i-Lightfold, ithatha igama layo kusukela ekusetshenzisweni kwe-laser ukuze kushise ishidi lensimbi engagqwali eduze komugqa osifunayo.Ukugoqa amashidi ensimbi engagqwali e-duplex ngokuvamile kusebenzisa amathuluzi abizayo, kodwa i-Stilride yokuqala yase-Swedish ithuthukise le nqubo entsha yokukhiqiza izikuta zikagesi ezishibhile.
Umklami wezimboni kanye nomsunguli we-Stilride u-Tu Badger ubelokhu ebheke umqondo wesikuta sikagesi esingabizi kusukela eneminyaka engu-19 ngo-1993. U-Beyer usesebenzele u-Giotto Bizzarrini (uyise wezinjini ze-Ferrari 250 GTO kanye ne-Lamborghini V12), i-BMW Motorrad ne-Husqvarna.Uxhaso oluvela esikhungweni sokusungula izinto eSwedish uVinnova lwenza uBeyer wasungula inkampani futhi waqala ukusebenza kanye nomsunguli kanye nomqondisi ophethe uJonas Nyvang.Umbono we-Lightfold waqanjwa ngumkhiqizi wensimbi engagqwali wase-Finnish i-Outokumpu.U-Badger uthuthukise umsebenzi wangaphambi kwesikhathi ku-Lightfold, egoqa ngokurobhothi amashidi ayisicaba ensimbi engagqwali ukuze yakhe uhlaka oluyinhloko lwesikuta.
Amashidi ensimbi engagqwali enziwa ngokugoqeka okubandayo, inqubo efana nokuginqika kwenhlama encane kodwa ngesilinganiso sezimboni.Ukuginqika okubandayo kwenza izinto zibe nzima, kwenze kube nzima ukugoba.Ukusebenzisa i-laser ukushisisa insimbi ngomugqa ogoqekile ohlosiwe, ngokunemba okukhulu okunganikezwa yilaser, kwenza kube lula ukugobela insimbi ibe yisimo esinezinhlangothi ezintathu.
Enye inzuzo enkulu yokwenza isakhiwo sensimbi engagqwali ukuthi ayigqwali, ngakho-ke akudingeki ukuthi ipendwe kodwa isabukeka kahle.Ukungapendi (njengoba kwenza i-Steelride) kunciphisa izindleko zezinto ezibonakalayo, ukukhiqiza, kanye nesisindo okungenzeka (kuye ngokuthi usayizi wemoto).Kukhona nezinzuzo zokuklama.Inqubo yokugoqa “idala umklamo ochaza ngempela i-DNA,” kusho u-Badger, “ngokungqubuzana okuhle kwendawo phakathi kwe-concave ne-convex.”Insimbi engagqwali iyasimama, igaywa kabusha ngokuphelele futhi inesakhiwo esilula.Ukungalungi kwama-scooters anamuhla, abaklami bayaqaphela, ukuthi banefreyimu yensimbi ye-tubular ehlanganiswe nomzimba wepulasitiki, oqukethe izingxenye eziningi futhi okunzima ukuwenza.
I-prototype yokuqala yesithuthuthu, ebizwa nge-Stilride SUS1 (Sports Utility Scooter One), isilungile futhi inkampani ithi "izophonsela inselelo ukucabanga okuvamile kokukhiqiza ngokusebenzisa i-origami yezimboni zamarobhothi ukugoqa izakhiwo zensimbi eziyisicaba ukuze zibe yiqiniso kulokho.""Izakhiwo Nezakhiwo ZeJiyomethri". Uhlangothi lwezokukhiqiza lusezinhlelweni zokulingiswa yinkampani ye-R&D iRobotdalen futhi, uma le nqubo isisungulwe njengengase ikwazi ukuhweba, kulindeleke ukuthi ifanelekele hhayi kuphela isikuta sikagesi kodwa nezinhlobonhlobo zemikhiqizo. Uhlangothi lwezokukhiqiza lusezinhlelweni zokulingiswa yinkampani ye-R&D iRobotdalen futhi, uma le nqubo isisungulwe njengengase ikwazi ukuhweba, kulindeleke ukuthi ifanelekele hhayi kuphela isikuta sikagesi kodwa nezinhlobonhlobo zemikhiqizo. Uhlangothi lokukhiqiza lusezinhlelweni zokumodelwa yinkampani ye-R&D iRobotdalen futhi uma le nqubo isisebenza kahle kwezohwebo, kulindeleke ukuthi ifanelekele hhayi kuphela isikuta sikagesi kodwa nenhlobonhlobo yemikhiqizo. Isici sokukhiqiza simodelwa inkampani ye-R&D iRobotdalen futhi uma le nqubo isinqunyiwe ukuthi ikwazi ukuhwebelana, kulindeleke ukuthi ingasebenzi kuma-e-scooters kuphela kodwa ezinhlobonhlobo zemikhiqizo.
Lo msebenzi wawubandakanya izisebenzi eziningi ezinobuchwepheshe obuhlukahlukene, okuhlanganisa ukuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo, ukuklanywa kwensimbi nokukhiqiza, kanti i-Outokumpu ibambe iqhaza elibalulekile.
I-Duplex insimbi engagqwali ibizwa kanjalo ngenxa yokuthi izakhiwo zayo ziyinhlanganisela yezinye izinhlobo ezimbili, i-“austenitic” kanye “ne-ferritic”, eyinika amandla aphezulu (amandla aqinile) kanye nokushisela kalula.I-DMC DeLorean yama-1980 yenziwa ngensimbi engagqwali engu-304 austenitic esetshenziswa kakhulu, eyingxube yensimbi, i-nickel ne-chromium futhi iyinsimbi engagqwali kakhulu kuzo zonke izinsimbi ezingenasici.
