Puas yog 3D Printing The Sustainable Manufacturing Solution?

3D luam ntawv, los yog additive manufacturing (AM) raws li nws yog hu ua nyob rau hauv industrial daim ntaub ntawv, tau txais ib tug foothold nyob rau hauv factories thiab khw hauv pem teb nyob rau hauv lub teb chaws. Piv nrog rau kev tsim khoom ib txwm muaj, nws tuaj yeem ua tau sai dua, pheej yig dua, thiab hloov tau yooj yim, tab sis yuav ua li cas kom ruaj khov? Nws puas tuaj yeem pab cov tuam txhab xws li GE, Siemens, thiab Volkswagen - cov tuam txhab uas tau txais ob qho tib si AM thiab cog lus tias yuav txo qis lawv cov pa roj carbon hneev taw - ua tiav lawv cov hom phiaj kev ruaj ntseg?

Ib lub cuab yeej tshiab tawm lub lim tiam no los ntawm Lub zog, EU-based additive manufacturing xav tank thiab kev sab laj, yog tsim los pab cov tuam txhab ntsuas kev siv hluav taws xob thiab CO2 emission ntawm hlau 3D luam ntawv.

Lub tuam txhab tshiab Sustainability Calculator yog ib qho cuab yeej rau cov tuam txhab tsim tawm thiab sib piv ntau yam kev xaiv cov khoom siv hlau thiab AM thev naus laus zis ua ke los txiav txim siab qhov tshwm sim CO2 emissions. Customization xaiv thiab overrides tuaj yeem suav rau cov kev xaiv uas tau ua thoob plaws lub ntiaj teb kev faib cov txheej txheem.

"Tsis muaj lus teb dav dav rau qhov kev tsim khoom siv tshuab twg muaj cov pa roj carbon tsawg tshaj plaws," Ampower hais hauv nws daim ntawv tshaj tawm tshiab Sustainability ntawm Hlau Additive Manufacturing, txij li tag nrho cov hneev taw yog hnyav hnyav los ntawm hom hlau thiab qhov geometry. Txawm li cas los xij, nyob rau hauv kev sib piv ob yam zoo li: 1,000 brackets tsim los milled vs. 1,000 zoo sib xws brackets tsim los ua 3D luam, lub laij lej pom tias xuab zeb casting muaj qhov qis tshaj CO2 emissions thaum cov khoom ua hauv txhuas. Tab sis hloov cov khoom, thiab qhov sib npaug hloov. Tib lub voj voog ib txwm milled hauv titanium ua rau CO2 qib ob zaug siab li AM technologies, xws li laser hmoov txaj fusion thiab binder jetting.

Sib piv kev ruaj khov ntawm AM thiab kev tsim khoom ib txwm tsis xaus thaum qhov khoom tsim, ntau hauv 3D luam ntawv kev lag luam sib cav. Muaj qhov cuam tshuam nrog cov khoom tsim khoom ntxiv uas ua rau kev txuag kom deb ntawm cov nqi saw. Xav txog cov brackets uas tau hais los saum no, uas yog siv rau kev siv aerospace.

Nrog rau cov khoom siv dav hlau, qhov hnyav feem ntau txuas ncaj qha rau kev siv roj thiab, yog li ntawd, CO2 emissions. 3D tshuab luam ntawv tuaj yeem tsim cov duab tsis tuaj yeem nrog lwm cov thev naus laus zis ua kom cov khoom siv tsawg dua thiab hnyav dua tab sis sib npaug ntawm lub zog. AMpower tus piv txwv bracket tsim rau AM daim duab hauv qab no siv cov khoom siv tsawg dua li cov qauv tsim tawm.

"Peb cia siab tias cov tuam txhab yuav siv cov cuab yeej los txhim kho lawv cov txheej txheem thiab qhov chaw mus rau cov pa roj carbon tsawg," said Matthias Schmidt-Lehr, Ampower tus thawj coj tus khub. "Tsis tas li ntawd, nws yuav tsum ua kom pom tseeb txog cov lus nug, qhov chaw tsim khoom ntxiv tuaj yeem ua rau qis qis dua, thiab qhov twg cov thev naus laus zis niaj hnub ua haujlwm tau zoo dua."

Raws li Ampower, 1-kg qhov hnyav txuag hauv lub dav hlau txhais tau tias kev txuag nyiaj txhua xyoo ntawm 2,500 litres ntawm kerosine, thiab, piv txwv li 20-xyoo lub neej ntawm lub dav hlau, qhov no ua rau txuag tau txog li 126,000 kg ntawm CO2. Schmidt-Lehr hais tias "Qhov kev txuag nyiaj zoo sib xws tuaj yeem ua rau ntau lwm yam kev siv, xws li tshuab, twj lossis turbines, qhov twg qhov hnyav txo lossis kev ua haujlwm nce ntxiv muaj kev cuam tshuam loj rau kev siv emission," said Schmidt-Lehr.

Thaum ntsuam xyuas kev tsim khoom ntxiv raws li kev yeej ntawm kev tsim khoom, nws nyob ntawm no, nyob rau hauv qhov kawg-siv daim ntaub ntawv, qhov twg thev naus laus zis tuaj yeem ci ntsa iab. "Kev siv nyiaj txuag ntawm qhov hnyav lossis kev ua haujlwm tau zoo ntawm AM cov qauv tsim tuaj yeem muaj ntau qhov loj dua qhov kev tso tawm los ntawm ib feem ntawm nws tus kheej," Ampower hais hauv nws daim ntawv tshaj tawm tshiab. "Txawm li cas los xij, kev siv nyiaj khaws cia, yog tias muaj, yog nyob ntawm daim ntawv thov."

Ntxiv nrog rau lawv cov qauv hnyav dua thiab kev sib koom ua ke, uas ua rau muaj kev ua tau zoo, qhov tseeb tias feem ntau cov khoom siv ntxiv tau tsim hauv zos, tshem tawm kev xa khoom thiab kev cuam tshuam emissions, yog lwm cov ntaub ntawv hauv AM nyiam. Kuj tseem muaj qhov kev coj ua tshiab ntawm kev khaws cov khoom seem hauv cov ntawv digital npaj ua 3D luam tawm raws li qhov xav tau, es tsis yog cov khoom siv lub cev zaum hauv warehouses.

Saib rau pem hauv ntej, Ampower hais tias nce cov nqi rov ua dua tshiab hauv cov khoom siv raw thiab cov khoom siv hlau tshiab los ntawm 100% cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab yuav muaj kev cuam tshuam loj rau kev txo qis 3D luam ntawv CO2 hneev taw ntxiv.
