Umsebenzi Ophambili: Ubuchule Bokwenza Ilaphu Umbhalo Wencwadi: I-DefeXtiles bubuchule bokuvelisa ilaphu elincinci, eliguqukayo kwiiprinta ze-3D eziqhelekileyo. Le ndlela ilawula ukuncipha kokukhutshwa kwento eyoshiweyo ukuze zenziwe iziqhamo ezincinci ezinamacici acykacekileyo phakathi kwazo. Izikhewu ezenzeka ngokungaguqukiyo ezivelayo zinika ilaphu eliprintiweyo inkangeleko yelaphu, ukuphefumla, ukuguquka kunye nokutsala, nangaxa kusetyenziswa izinto eziqinileyo ezinjenge-polylactic acid. Amalaphu aprintwa ngokuthe nkqo kwisiseko sokuprinta, ngoko ke iimilo ezisongwe-songwe kunye nezijikelezayo zinako ukwenziwa. Ukusetyenziswa kuquka izinto zokunxiba, izinto eziphathekayo eziqhotyoshelweyo kunye neshatlekok. I-filament yombane isetyenziswa ukufaka iindlela zesekethe ngaphakathi elaphini.

Olu luyilo lukhulu luphumelele ibhaso lokuyilwa kobhedu kuyilo loyilo, ukwakha nolwakhiwo. Ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kufuneka ubone ipotifoliyo yoyilo eyenzelwe amabhaso okuzoba ukuze ufumane izinto ezininzi ezintsha, ezinobuchule, eziyilayo kunye nezoyilo, uyilo nolwakhiwo lwemisebenzi.
