Inkampani esungula izinto ezimbonini i-Aurora Labs isifinyelele ingqopha-mlando ekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe bayo bokuphrinta bensimbi be-3D, ngokuhlolwa okuzimele okuqinisekisa ukusebenza kahle kwayo nokumemezela umkhiqizo “ngowohwebo.” I-Aurora iqede ngempumelelo ukuphrinta izingxenye zensimbi engagqwali kumakhasimende okuhlanganisa i-BAE Systems Maritime Australia yohlelo lweNavy's Hunter-class frigate.
Ubuchwepheshe bokuphrinta be-3D bensimbi obuthuthukisiwe, bubonise ukusebenza kahle kwabo ekuhloleni okuzimele, futhi bamemezela ukuthi umkhiqizo usulungele ukudayiswa.
Umnyakazo uqeda lokho i-Aurora ekubiza ngokuthi “I-Milestone 4″ ekuthuthukisweni kobunikazi bayo be-multi-laser, ubuchwepheshe bokuphrinta be-3D obunamandla amakhulu ukuze kukhiqizwe izingxenye zensimbi engagqwali zezimboni zezimayini nezawoyela negesi.
Ukuphrinta kwe-3D kuhilela ukudala izinto ezimbozwe ngempumelelo ngempushana yensimbi encibilikisiwe. Inamandla okuphazamisa imboni yokuhlinzeka ngenqwaba evamile njengoba inika abasebenzisi bokugcina amandla “okuphrinta” izingxenye zabo eziyisipele esikhundleni sokuzi-oda kubahlinzeki abakude.
Izigigaba zakamuva zibandakanya izingxenye zokuhlola zenkampani ze-BAE Systems Maritime Australia zohlelo lwe-frigate lwe-Australian Navy Hunter-class kanye nokuphrinta uchungechunge lwezingxenye ezaziwa ngokuthi “izigxivizo zikawoyela” zamakhasimende ebhizinisi elihlanganyelwe le-Aurora AdditiveNow.
Inkampani esekwe ePerth ithe ukuphrinta kokuhlola kuvumele ukuthi isebenze namakhasimende ukuhlola amapharamitha wokuklama nokwenza kahle ukusebenza. Le nqubo ivumele ithimba lobuchwepheshe ukuthi liqonde ukusebenza kwephrinta yesibonelo kanye nokuthuthukiswa okwengeziwe okungaba khona kwedizayini.
UPeter Snowsill, oyi-CEO ye-Aurora Labs, uthe: “Nge-Milestone 4, sikhombise ukusebenza kahle kobuchwepheshe bethu nokuphrinta. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ubuchwepheshe bethu buvala igebe emakethe yemishini esezingeni eliphezulu emaphakathi kuya maphakathi.” Lesi yisigaba semakethe esinamandla amakhulu okukhula njengoba kwanda ukusetshenziswa kokukhiqiza. Manje njengoba sesinombono wochwepheshe nokuqinisekiswa okuvela ezinkampanini zangaphandle ezihloniphekile, sekuyisikhathi sokudlulela esinyathelweni esilandelayo futhi sithengise ubuchwepheshe be-A3D.” ukucwenga imibono yethu ngesu lethu lokuya emakethe kanye namamodeli wobambiswano afanele ukuletha ubuchwepheshe bethu emakethe ngendlela ephumelela kakhulu.”
Ukubuyekezwa okuzimele kunikezwe inkampani yokubonisana yokukhiqiza okungeziwe i-Barnes Global Advisors, noma i-“TBGA”, i-Aurora eyiqashile ukuze inikeze isibuyekezo esiphelele sesuite yobuchwepheshe esakhiwayo.
"I-Aurora Labs ibonise ama-optics esimanje eshayela ama-laser amane angu-1500W ukuze aphrinte ukusebenza okuphezulu," kuphetha i-TBGA. Iphinde ithi ubuchwepheshe buzosiza "ukuhlinzeka ngezixazululo ezisebenzayo nezingabizi kakhulu emakethe yezinhlelo zama-laser amaningi."
UGrant Mooney, uSihlalo we-Aurora, uthe: “Ukugunyazwa kukaBarnes kuyisisekelo sempumelelo ye-Milestone 4′s. Siqonda ngokucacile ukuthi inqubo yokubuyekeza ezimele kanye neyenkampani yangaphandle kufanele isetshenziswe emibonweni yeqembu ukuze sibe nokuqiniseka ukuthi siyayifeza imigomo yethu. Ngokuzethemba. Sijabule ngokuthola ukugunyazwa kwezisombululo zasendaweni zezimboni ezinkulu zesifunda… Umsebenzi owenziwe yi-TBGA uqinisekisa indawo ye-Aurora ekukhiqizeni okungeziwe futhi usilungiselela isinyathelo esilandelayo ochungechungeni lwezinyathelo ezisheshayo.”
Ngaphansi kwe-Milestone 4, i-Aurora ifuna ukuvikelwa kwempahla eqanjiwe "yemindeni yamalungelo obunikazi" eyisikhombisa ebalulekile, okuhlanganisa nobuchwepheshe benqubo yokuphrinta obunikeza izithuthukisi zesikhathi esizayo kubuchwepheshe obukhona. Le nkampani iphinde ihlole ubudlelwano nokusebenzisana ocwaningweni nasekuthuthukisweni, kanye nokuthola amalayisense okukhiqiza nokusabalalisa. Ithi izingxoxo ziyaqhubeka nezinhlangano ezahlukahlukene mayelana namathuba wobambiswano nabakhiqizi bephrinta ye-inkjet nama-OEM afuna ukungena kule makethe.
I-Aurora yaqala ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe ngoJulayi 2020 ngemva kokuhlelwa kabusha kwangaphakathi kanye noguquko kusukela kumodeli yangaphambilini yokukhiqiza nokusabalalisa kuya ekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe bokuphrinta bensimbi bokuhwebelana ukuze kunikezwe amalayisense nobambiswano.
