Ezinye iintlobo zezinto eziprintiweyo ze-3D ngoku zinokuvakala, kusetyenziswa itekhnoloji entsha ukwakha izinzwa ngqo kwizinto zazo. Uphononongo olutsha lufumanise ukuba olu phando lunokukhokelela kwizixhobo ezintsha ezisebenzisanayo, ezifana nefenitshala ekrelekrele.
Le teknoloji intsha isebenzisa izinto ezisebenzisa i-metaterials-izinto ezenziwe ngegridi yezinto eziphindaphindayo-ukuya kwizinto eziprintiweyo ze-3D. Xa amandla esetyenziswa kwi-metaterial eguquguqukayo, ezinye zeeseli zazo zinokolula okanye zicinezeleke. Ii-electrodes ezifakwe kwezi zakhiwo zinokubona ubukhulu kunye necala lotshintsho lwemilo, kunye nokujikeleza kunye nokukhawulezisa.
Kolu phando lutsha, abaphandi benze izinto ezenziwe ngeplastiki eguquguqukayo kunye neentambo eziqhubayo. Ezi zineeseli ezincinci ezifikelela kububanzi obuyi-5 mm.
Iseli nganye ineendonga ezimbini ezichaseneyo ezenziwe ngee-filaments eziqhubayo kunye neplastiki engeyiyo eqhubayo, kwaye iindonga eziqhubayo zisebenza njengee-electrodes. Amandla asetyenziswa kwinto atshintsha umgama kunye nendawo edibanayo phakathi kwee-electrodes ezichaseneyo, evelisa isignali yombane ebonisa iinkcukacha malunga namandla asetyenziswayo. Umbhali-mbhali wengxelo yophando uthe ngale ndlela, le teknoloji intsha "inokudityaniswa ngokungenamthungo nangokungaphazamisiyo iteknoloji yokuva kwizinto eziprintiweyo."
Abaphandi bathi ezi metamaterials zinokunceda abayili ukuba benze ngokukhawuleza kwaye balungise izixhobo zokufaka eziguquguqukayo zekhompyutha. Umzekelo, basebenzise ezi metamaterials ukwenza isilawuli somculo esenzelwe ukulingana nesimo sesandla somntu. Xa umsebenzisi ecinezela elinye lamaqhosha aguquguqukayo, isignali yombane eveliswayo inceda ukulawula i-synthesizer yedijithali.
Izazinzulu zenze ne-joystick ye-metamaterial yokudlala i-Pac-Man. Ngokuqonda indlela abantu abasebenzisa ngayo amandla kule joystick, abayili banokuyila iimilo kunye nobukhulu obukhethekileyo besiphatho kubantu abanokubamba okulinganiselweyo kwicala elithile.
Umbhali-mbhali wengxelo yophando uthe: “Singayibona intshukumo kuyo nayiphi na into eprintiweyo ye-3D. Ukususela kumculo ukuya kwiindawo zokujonga umdlalo, amandla ayo anomdla kakhulu.”
Abaphandi benze nesoftware yokuhlela ye-3D, ebizwa ngokuba yiMetaSense, ukunceda abasebenzisi bakhe izixhobo ezisebenzisanayo besebenzisa ezi metamaterials. Ilinganisa indlela into eprintiweyo ye-3D eguquka ngayo xa kusetyenziswa amandla ahlukeneyo, kwaye ibala ukuba zeziphi iiseli ezitshintsha kakhulu kwaye zilungele ukusetyenziswa njengee-electrodes.
I-MetaSense ivumela abayili ukuba basebenzise izakhiwo zokuprinta ze-3D ezinezakhono zokuva ezakhelwe ngaphakathi ngexesha elinye. Oku kwenza ukuba ukwenziwa kweeprototype zezixhobo kube ngokukhawuleza kakhulu, njengee-joysticks, ezinokwenziwa ngokwezifiso zabantu abaneemfuno ezahlukeneyo zokufikelela.
Ukufaka amakhulu okanye amawaka eeyunithi zesensor kwinto kunokunceda ekufezekiseni uhlalutyo oluphezulu nolwexesha langempela lwendlela abasebenzisi abasebenzisana ngayo nayo. Umzekelo, isitulo esikrelekrele esenziwe ngale metamaterial sinokubona umzimba womsebenzisi, size sivule isibane okanye iTV, okanye siqokelele idatha yohlalutyo lwamva, njengokufumanisa nokulungisa ukuma komzimba. Ezi metamaterials zingasetyenziswa nakwiinkqubo zokunxiba.
