Ua huli ka hui BWT Alpine F1 i Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) e hoʻonui i ka hana o kā lākou mau kaʻa ma o ka hana ʻana i nā mea hoʻoheheʻe hydraulic titanium holoʻokoʻa me kahi wāwae liʻiliʻi.
Ke hana nei ka hui BWT Alpine F1 me 3D Systems no nā makahiki he nui no ka hoʻolako ʻana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana. E hana ana i kāna hoʻomaka ma 2021, ʻo ka hui, nona nā mea hoʻokele Fernando Alonso a me Esteban Ocon i hoʻopau i ka 10th a me 11th i kēlā me kēia makahiki i hala, ua koho ʻo 3D Systems 'direct metal printing (DMP) ʻenehana e hana i nā ʻāpana paʻakikī.
Hoʻomaikaʻi mau ʻo Alpine i kāna mau kaʻa, hoʻomaikaʻi a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hana i nā pōʻai pōkole loa.
Ua hāʻawi ka poʻe loea mai 3D Systems 'Applied Innovation Group (AIG) i ka hui F1 me ka mākaukau e hana i nā ʻāpana coiled paʻakikī me nā geometries kūloko i hoʻoikaika ʻia i ka titanium.
Hāʻawi ka hana hoʻohui i kahi manawa kūʻokoʻa e lanakila ai i nā pilikia o ka wikiwiki wikiwiki ma o ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā ʻāpana paʻakikī loa me nā manawa alakaʻi pōkole.
No nā mea hōʻiliʻili, ʻo ia hoʻi ka hope o ka wai hoʻokuʻu inertia coil, ua hoʻolālā ka hui heihei i kahi damper uea paʻa i ʻāpana o ka damper hoʻokuʻu hope i ka ʻōnaehana hoʻokuʻu hope ma ka pahu nui hoʻouna.
ʻO ka accumulator he paipu lōʻihi a paʻa loa e mālama a hoʻokuʻu i ka ikehu i ka awelika o ke kaomi ʻana.
"Ua hoʻolālā mākou i ka ʻāpana e like me ka volumetrically e like me ka hiki a kaʻana like i ka mānoanoa o ka pā ma waena o nā paipu pili," wehewehe ʻo Pat Warner, ka luna hana kikohoʻe kiʻekiʻe no ka hui BWT Alpine F1."ʻO AM wale nō e hiki ke hoʻokō i kēia."
ʻO ka titanium damping coil hope loa i hana ʻia me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka 3D Systems 'DMP Flex 350, kahi ʻōnaehana AM metala kiʻekiʻe me kahi ea paʻi ʻole.
I ka wā o ka hana ʻana, hoʻopiha ʻia ka coil damping i ka wai a me ka awelika o ka neʻe ʻana o ke kaomi i loko o ka ʻōnaehana ma o ka hoʻomoʻa ʻana a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka ikehu.
ʻO ka hoʻolālā ʻana a me ka hana ʻana i kēia ʻāpana me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka metala AM e hāʻawi i nā pōmaikaʻi nui e pili ana i ka hana, ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana ʻoi aku ka nui, a me ka mālama ʻana i ke kaumaha.
Ua koho ka hui BWT Alpine F1 i ka mea LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A) no kāna mau pila, me ka haʻi ʻana i kona ikaika kiʻekiʻe a me kona hiki ke hana pololei i nā ʻāpana pā lahilahi ke kumu o kāna koho.
He hoa hana ʻo 3D Systems no nā haneli o nā noi koʻikoʻi i nā ʻoihana kahi i nui ai ka maikaʻi a me ka hana.
Ma hope o ka kūleʻa o ka hui BWT Alpine F1 i paʻi ʻia i ka titanium accumulators, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Warner e paipai ʻia ka hui e ʻimi i nā ʻāpana hoʻokuʻu paʻakikī i ka makahiki e hiki mai ana.
