Iilori zeVolvo kuMntla Merika zinesityalo esitsha soMlambo i-New River (NRV) eDublin, eVirginia, esivelisa iilori kwimarike yonke yaseMantla Melika. Iilori zeVolvo kutshanje zisebenzisa ushicilelo lwe-3D ukwenza iinxalenye zeelori, zonga malunga ne-1,000 yeedola ngenxalenye kwaye zinciphisa kakhulu iindleko zemveliso.

Icandelo lobugcisa bokuvelisa eliphuhlileyo kumzi-mveliso we-NRV lihlola ubugcisa bokwenziwa kwemveliso kunye nezicelo zoshicilelo lwe-3D lwezityalo zelori ze-Volvo ezili-12 kwihlabathi jikelele. Okwangoku, iziphumo zokuqala zifunyenwe. Ngaphezu kwe-500 yezixhobo zendibano eziprintiweyo ze-3D eziprintiweyo kunye nezixhobo ziye zavavanywa kwaye zasetyenziswa kwilebhu yeprojekthi ye-NRV yomzi-mveliso we-NRV ukuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle kweelori.

Iilori zeVolvo zakhetha itekhnoloji yoshicilelo ye-SLS ye-3D kwaye zasebenzisa izixhobo zeplastiki zobunjineli ezisebenza ngokuphezulu ukwenza, izixhobo zokuvavanya kunye nezixhobo, ezathi ekugqibeleni zasetyenziswa ekwenzeni iilori kunye nokuhlanganisa. Amalungu ayilwe ziinjineli kwisoftware yemodeli ye-3D inokungeniswa ngokuthe ngqo kwaye iprinte i-3D. Ixesha elifunekayo liyahluka ukusuka kwiiyure ezimbalwa ukuya kwiiyure ezininzi, nto leyo enciphisa kakhulu ixesha elichithwa ekwenzeni izixhobo zokuhlanganisa xa kuthelekiswa neendlela eziqhelekileyo.

Ukongeza, ushicilelo lwe-3D lukwanika iilori zeVolvo ukuguquguquka ngakumbi. Endaweni yokukhutshwa kwemveliso yezixhobo, ushicilelo lwe-3D lwenziwa kumzi-mveliso. Ayiphuculi kuphela inkqubo yokwenza izixhobo, kodwa inciphisa uluhlu lwezinto ezifunekayo, ngaloo ndlela inciphisa iindleko zokuhanjiswa kweelori kubasebenzisi bokugqibela kunye nokuphucula ukukhuphisana.

Iilori zeVolvo kutsha nje iinxalenye eziprintiweyo ze-3D zezitshizi zepeyinti, zonga malunga ne-$1, 000 ngenxalenye nganye evelisiweyo xa kuthelekiswa neendlela zemveli zokuvelisa, ukunciphisa kakhulu iindleko zemveliso ngexesha lokwenziwa nokuhlanganisa iilori. Ukongeza, iilori zeVolvo zikwasebenzisa itekhnoloji yoshicilelo ye-3D ukuvelisa izixhobo zokutywina eluphahleni, ipleyiti yoxinzelelo lwe-fuse, i-jig yokubhola, i-brake kunye ne-brake gauge yoxinzelelo, umbhobho wokuqhuba, i-hood drill, isibiyeli sokulawula iadaptha yokulawula, igeji yomnyango wemithwalo, ibhonti yomnyango kunye ezinye izixhobo okanye ijig.
