Chapter 338: Stereoscopic Printing
I went a little too far this night, and the role-playing was too deep...... But it was rare for her to take the initiative to interpret another style, and An Feng, who was handcuffed, cooperated silently, and fell asleep from exhaustion until the early hours of the morning. The next day, he couldn't get up decisively, An Feng rubbed his temples, and he almost couldn't stand it.
Joanna chuckled softly when she saw him rubbing his head.
An Feng turned his head, lifted the blanket and got in, climbed on top of her, and threatened: "Dare to laugh!" ”
"Stop!" She pressed his head, "It's late enough, if you don't want to wake up in the afternoon!" ”
"There's nothing else to do anyway!" An Feng sat up and looked at her unhung body, "It's so perfect!" An art photo for you? ”
"There are still guests at home!" Joanna clasped her arms to her chest.
"Don't mention it, I guarantee they didn't get up either, maybe there are some more restrictive ones!" An Feng speculated maliciously.
"The mind is not pure!" She pointed to her head.
"I confess to what I have committed! Police officer! An Feng smiled and shot back.
"Bold! Don't mention it again! Joanna got into a fight with him, and also showed the prop handcuffs she forced An Feng to be "M" last night.
"Looks like you have a lot of potential, Queen." An Feng picked up the handcuffs.
"As you say, my deputy!" She said with a tense expression, "Now, pick me up, I'm going to the bathroom!" ”
"Yes!" An Feng threw away the handcuffs, picked her up, and came to the bathroom.
After washing, I came out almost in the afternoon.
Wang Le and Lisa also got up quite late, both of them had dark circles under their eyes, which made An Feng very happy. Wang Le did not refute, and after lunch, they took their leave. Wang Le said: "See you at the shooting exhibition, I will return to China every once in a while. And then I'll bring you a few local tyrants to cheer you on! ”
"Go all the way." An Feng high-fived him.
"Damn!" Wang Le beckoned to the Porsche at the door and drove away.
The last two guests took their leave, and the vineyard became quiet again. On weekdays, nothing is to practice equestrianism, and after this appearance, Angelina's value has increased fivefold, as a 6-year-old horse. There is still a lot of room for appreciation, as long as the performance on the field is good enough.
Like Joanna's current focus on training Hanoverian horse Gina, its purchase price is $350,000, which seems to be a bit far from the world's top equestrian horses, but it is only four years old, and the top horses are generally over ten years old, and this six years is an opportunity to increase its value.
As long as the rider has good skills, scientific training methods, and good horse genes. I'm smart enough, and it's not too difficult to get to $1 million. If you ride it to win a few international races, two or three million is fine. Auctioning to a Middle Eastern tycoon may win a higher bid.
An Feng also found a warm-blooded horse to train, he is not as enthusiastic as Joanna, riding a horse is just a pastime and relaxation, and even he is thinking about taking a shortcut: through genetic technology to modify. If it can memorize complex commands a dozen times, it will be a shame in a dressage competition.
Equestrian training has moved to Blue Sky Racecourse. The winery's 150 acres of vacant land are being renovated to match the style of a top winery. There are gardens, meadows, and cultural exhibition areas...... In short, it is high-end, with a leisure area, so that the owner of the winery and friends can use it for leisure.
In addition, the racecourse event schedule has come out, including hot horses, professional riders. Racecourse funds, a variety of complex gambling operation procedures...... Hansen and his assistant are in charge of handling the event, which is expected to start next year, with horse racing events held on the second, fourth and sixth days.
A few days later, An Feng received a report. A sample of Ann's Industrial's stereoscopic printer comes out.
After waiting so long and finally having something to do, he took his bodyguards and pilots and took forty minutes to come to the company. In the R&D area, I saw a 3D printer that claims to be able to print a variety of metals and composite materials, and the technology is very advanced - the technology that is burned with money is naturally advanced.
At present, the difficulty of 3D printing is strength, which can print plastics and metals, but the strength is not enough. Now printers have changed this dilemma by simulating the conditions under which steelmaking or other alloys are formed, down to the barometric pressure and temperature, turning it into a small smelting center.
The person in charge of the project is named Francis. Richie was recommended by Freeman - An Feng's original inner reaction was "You also have friends?" ”…… After receiving Richie in person, he found that the "smell of the same" summarized by the ancients was really reasonable, and Richie was also a technology nerd.
This guy is said to have a doctorate at a young age, and he skips school to read, anyway, he sees that the robot company has a future, and An's Industry is recruiting, and there is the capital he needs, the correct theory and direction, and a good environment.
The only difference is that the person's communicative skills are okay.
Richie's hair, which hadn't been washed in days, looked like wax, but he didn't care: "Look here, sir, it's our latest achievement!" ”
The machine in front of An Feng is not brilliant, the volume is average, and it is like an ugly duckling, which is similar to the 3D printers on the market.
"It can print models up to 30cm× 30cm×30cm, and most notably, it solves the problem of hardness of material composition," says Richie. To a large extent, the three-dimensional printing on the market can only be used as a model, and it is naturally simple to sinter plastic models, but it is particularly difficult to print a high-hardness drill bit. We made a breakthrough after using laminar arc plasma beams! ”
According to the technical nerd, the printer currently uses eight sets of printing heads, different printheads can use different metal materials, using plasma beams for metal sintering, it can produce temperatures ranging from 200-15,000 degrees, with higher resolution and excellent hardness.
But blowing 10,000 times is not enough to dry directly and the effect is intuitive.
An Feng knew the principle better than anyone else, so he said: "What about the actual effect? ”
Richie liked this kind of refreshment, and with a wave of his hand, the assistants called up the CAD model of the drill bit stored in the computer, connected the printer, started the machine, and sharpened the knife to the pig and sheep. While waiting, An Feng went to discuss some details with Rich, such as how much does it cost?
"It's been six million dollars so far." Richie understated.
It seems that this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. An Feng looked at the list of materials, and all of them chose the best, such as a part that can be produced in the United States. In order to pursue perfection, they go to foreign countries to customize ...... It can be said that the machine is indeed burned out of money.
But if it is worth burning, it is a breakthrough.
After more than an hour, the drill bit was made, and Richie, wearing gloves, took out a freshly cooled drill bit. An hour ago it was just a bunch of iron powder, tungsten powder, carbide raw materials. But after being fired with plasma, it became the current hard drill bit.
The way to test the results is also extremely simple and crude - test with an electric drill.
Without saying a word, the assistant installed the drill bit and made a few holes in the concrete wall used for the test, and the dust was so good that the hardness of the 3D printed drill bit was comparable to that of traditional manufacturing methods - which led to a cross-generational concept: high-strength metal printing.
Even something as difficult as a drill bit, the printer can handle it, but what about other parts that are a little more sophisticated? Presumably not difficult, such as car engine parts? Need a subtractive part from the whole? Or the guns that are rolling up with 3D printing, and so on. Still have questions?
Richie's answer is no.
He said, "Sir, as long as you have time to wait, we can scan and print a pistol and have it tested by a professional tester." ”
An Feng was interested: "You guys try it!" ”
"No problem!" "We've got to go find a gun, who's going to go to the gun shop and see if there's one?" ”
An Feng was speechless, this guy also has a misunderstanding of normal life, San Jose is the area with the strictest gun control, and California is strict. But when I came to San Jose, I learned who was stricter. If you are a novice to buy a gun, wait ten days. There will be bad news of rejection.
"You can't buy it." An Feng shook his head at them, "Let my bodyguards come." ”
Neil walked up to An Feng in three steps and two steps, and An Feng said, "Borrow your pistol." ”
Neil didn't hesitate, took out a Czech CZ75 pistol from the holster in his suit, turned the grip and aimed it at An Feng, and he took the heavy gun. After expertly unloading the magazine, checking the chamber to make sure there were no bullets, he handed the pistol to Rich's assistants, who were to take it to scan.
An Feng reminded again: "Are you sure that the overall scan can take into account the parts inside?" ”
"Can't you?" Richie didn't know either.
An Feng paused and walked over expressionlessly. Personally dismantled the pistol into parts, and left the barrel, firing pin, firing pin spring, reentry spring, reentry spring guide and other key parts to them. In fact, the most important test of the success of 3D printed pistols is the level of barrel forging.
"You scan these, build models, and print them out in the same way!" An Feng commanded.
Richie nodded, "Please wait. ”
This is not a wait, from scanning to printing, at least three or four hours, An Feng has nothing to do, so he went to the sixth floor to have a cup of tea, eat some snacks, hang out, go to the marketing department to chat with Daisy for a while, and then say hello to MM who she has never seen before, and finally turn back.
The work is almost over, and when the parts are printed, An Feng will install these printed parts on the original pistol, fill the magazine, and go to a laboratory with good sound insulation, and when he raised the pistol, Neil reminded: "Sir, the barrel of this product has a high explosion rate." ”
"Then you come." An Feng turned to him.
Neil was speechless...... An Feng smiled: "It's fun for you!" ”
He raised his hand and pulled the trigger on the target, slammed the bullet out with a dozen thuds, and blew the smoking barrel like a western cowboy, how cool and cool it was - in fact, as early as when he printed a high-hardness drill bit, he knew that there would be no problem with the printing of the barrel, unless it was a problem with the model.
Now, the performance is very good, and he has other bodyguards to test. They have a good sense of guns, they are all fed by bullets, and they can understand the quality and accuracy of a gun by shooting dozens of bullets...... Ultimately, Neil concludes that there is no difference from the sense of origin.
"It may take thousands of rounds in a row to wear out the life of the barrel before you can judge the accuracy of the gun." Neil was more conservative.
Anfeng knows that technology succeeds. He can now spend tens of millions of dollars to build a larger, three-dimensional printer that can print cars, and then build high-precision parts, robots, or other things that are difficult to do in traditional subtractive manufacturing.
