Gulu la BWT Alpine F1 latembenukira ku Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) kuti lipititse patsogolo magwiridwe antchito a magalimoto awo popanga makina olimbikira a titanium hydraulic accumulators okhala ndi phazi pang'ono.
Gulu la BWT Alpine F1 lakhala likugwira ntchito ndi 3D Systems kwa zaka zingapo kuti lipereke chithandizo ndi chitukuko.Kuyambira mu 2021, gululi, lomwe madalaivala awo Fernando Alonso ndi Esteban Ocon adamaliza 10 ndi 11 motsatira nyengo yatha, adasankha ukadaulo wa 3D Systems 'Direct metal printing (DMP) kuti apange magawo ovuta.
Alpine mosalekeza amawongolera magalimoto ake, kuwongolera ndi kuwongolera magwiridwe antchito munthawi yochepa kwambiri yobwerezabwereza.Zovuta zomwe zikupitilira zikuphatikizapo kugwira ntchito mkati mwa malo ochepa omwe alipo, kusunga gawo lolemera kwambiri momwe zingathere, komanso kutsatira zoletsa zosintha.
Akatswiri ochokera ku 3D Systems 'Applied Innovation Group (AIG) adapatsa gulu la F1 ukadaulo wopanga zida zomangika zokhala ndi ma geometries amkati ovuta, oyendetsedwa ndi titaniyamu.
Kupanga zowonjezera kumapereka mwayi wapadera wothana ndi zovuta zowonongeka mofulumira popereka magawo ovuta kwambiri omwe ali ndi nthawi yochepa yotsogolera.Kwa zigawo monga Alpine's hydraulic accumulators, gawo lopambana limafuna ukadaulo wowonjezera wowonjezera wopangira chifukwa cha zovuta kupanga komanso zofunikira zaukhondo.
Kwa accumulators, makamaka kumbuyo kuyimitsidwa madzi inertia koyilo, gulu anagona anakonza damper zolimba mawaya amene ali mbali ya kumbuyo kuyimitsidwa damper mu dongosolo kuyimitsidwa kumbuyo mu bokosi kufala chachikulu.
Accumulator ndi chubu chachitali, cholimba chomwe chimasunga ndikutulutsa mphamvu kusinthasintha kwapakati.AM imathandiza Alpine kukulitsa kutalika kwa koyilo yonyowa ndikulongedza magwiridwe antchito athunthu pamalo ochepa.
"Tidapanga gawolo kuti likhale labwino kwambiri momwe tingathere ndikugawana makulidwe a khoma pakati pa machubu oyandikana," adatero Pat Warner, woyang'anira wamkulu wopanga digito wa gulu la BWT Alpine F1."AM yokha ndi yomwe ingakwaniritse izi."
Koyilo yomaliza ya titaniyamu yothira madzi idapangidwa pogwiritsa ntchito 3D Systems 'DMP Flex 350, chitsulo chapamwamba cha AM chomwe chili ndi makina osindikizira a inert.Mapangidwe apadera a makina a 3D Systems' DMP amatsimikizira kuti mbali zake ndi zamphamvu, zolondola, zoyera, ndipo zimakhala ndi zobwerezabwereza zomwe zimafunikira kuti apange zigawo.
Panthawi yogwira ntchito, koyilo yonyowa imadzazidwa ndi madzimadzi komanso kusinthasintha kwapakati pamagetsi mkati mwa dongosolo mwa kuyamwa ndi kutulutsa mphamvu.
Kupanga ndi kupanga chigawo ichi pogwiritsa ntchito zitsulo AM kumapereka ubwino wochuluka pokhudzana ndi ntchito, kusakanikirana ndi machitidwe akuluakulu, ndi kupulumutsa kulemera.3D Systems imapereka pulogalamu yotchedwa 3DXpert, pulogalamu yamtundu uliwonse yokonzekera, kukhathamiritsa ndi kuyang'anira zitsulo zosindikizira ntchito.
Gulu la BWT Alpine F1 linasankha zinthu za LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A) za mabatire ake, kutchula mphamvu zake zapamwamba komanso kuthekera kwake kupanga zigawo zokhala ndi mipanda yopyapyala ngati zifukwa zomwe adasankha.
3D Systems ndi othandizana nawo mazana ambiri ofunikira m'mafakitale omwe khalidwe ndi ntchito ndizofunikira kwambiri. Kampaniyi imaperekanso kusamutsa kwaukadaulo kuthandiza makasitomala kuti azitha kutengera zopangira zowonjezera m'malo awoawo.
Pambuyo pa kupambana kwa gulu la BWT Alpine F1 la titaniyamu-osindikizidwa accumulators, Warner adanena kuti gululi likulimbikitsidwa kutsata zigawo zovuta zoyimitsidwa m'chaka chomwe chikubwera.
