Kwiminyaka emine emva komsitho wawo wokwakha, umzi-mveliso wentsimbi okhethekileyo kwindawo ye-voestalpine eKapfenberg, eOstriya, ngoku ugqityiwe. Isibonelelo - esijoliswe ukuvelisa iitoni ze-205,000 ngonyaka zentsimbi ekhethekileyo, enye yazo iya kuba ngumgubo wesinyithi we-AM - kuthiwa imele isiganeko esibalulekileyo sobugcisa kwiCandelo le-Voestalpine Group's High Performance Metals Division ngokubhekiselele kwidijithali kunye nokuzinza.

Isityalo sithatha indawo ye-voestalpine ekhoyo ye-Böhler Edelstahl GmbH & Co KG plant e-Kapfenberg, kwaye yongezwa kwiimveliso zentsimbi zemveli, iya kuvelisa i-metal powders ye-Additive Manufacturing. Amaziko okuqala sele ephantsi kovavanyo.

Iprojekthi iqhubele phambili kulo lonke ubhubhani we-COVID-19, nangona ulibaziseko ekuhanjisweni kwezixhobo ezingundoqo kukhokelele ekugqityweni kweprojekthi ukuhlehliswa emva konyaka. Ngelo xesha, i-voestalpine ibala ukuba ngenxa yeemeko ezinzima zesikhokelo, iindleko zilindeleke ukuba ziphakame malunga ne-10% ukuya kwi-20% ngaphezu kotyalo-mali olucwangcisiweyo lokuqala lwe-350 yezigidi.

"Njengoko iplanti iqala ukusebenza ekwindla ka-2022, ekuqaleni kunye nokusebenza okuhambelanayo kusetyenziswa ilitye lokusila lombane elikhoyo, sinokubonelela abathengi bethu ngeempawu ezingcono kakhulu zokwandisa ubunkokeli bethu bentengiso yehlabathi kwisixhobo kunye neentsimbi ezikhethekileyo," utshilo uFranz Rotter. ilungu leBhodi yoLawulo ye-voestalpine AG kunye neNtloko yeCandelo leeMetals eziSebenza ngokuPhezulu. "Umbulelo wethu osuk' entliziyweni uya kubasebenzi bethu abazinikeleyo kwesi siza abaguquguqukayo kunye nobuchule obuninzi buya kwenza oku kuqaliswa ngempumelelo."

"Iplanti entsha yentsimbi ekhethekileyo iya kubeka imilinganiselo emitsha yehlabathi ekuzinzeni kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kwamandla," wongezelela uRotter. "Oku kwenza olu tyalo-mali lube yinxalenye yesicwangciso sethu sozinzo jikelele."
