Odessa entrepreneurs have given a new startup, the idea of which is as follows: the first of its kind ultra-precise 3D printer will print any complex finished products made of ceramics and other materials of its own production. A startup called Kwаmbiо appeared in 2014 and immediately won the forum IDСЕЕ-2014 with a premium for 15 thousand euros. Two years later, the leaders of the startup opened a new European factory of 3D printing products from ceramic powder. In the last quarter of 2017 Kwаmbiо demonstrated a new kind of ultra-precise 3D printer, Segama Operator whose functionality includes printing technical models, kitchenware, garden items-home decor and even samples of bone for implantation. On the wave of success, venture capital funds invested in startups are still $ 500,000. Kwаmbiо presented their achievements in the electrical engineering forum consumer CES in Las Vegas, which aroused interest among industrial companies from around the world, including in such large car manufacturers as Gеnеrаl Еlесtriс and Tеslа, according to the publication “Facts”.
As reported by the 34-year-old startup founder Vladimir Usov: “the First time he saw the work of 3D printer, I was amazed. Imagination began to paint pictures of the modernization of many models in different economic niches that will get a boost thanks to new technology. In the first place will be a huge impact on design, industrial and aerospace sector.”
First startup idea was to build an online platform where designers can post their product, and users were able to download these models, and print on their own 3D printers. The founders sent this idea in “accelerator” TеkStаrt in Boston, where usually gather cutting-edge global tech projects. Kwаmbiо successfully passed the selection and got on a specially designed test program, the results of which a draft was sent to New York, where now is located the main office of the company. Work with customers and marketing activities are conduct from the main office. Despite the huge success, to self-manufacture products startup has come with time. The reason for this was the lack of opportunities for speedy and efficient 3D printing of parts made of ceramics. This was the reason to start developing their own new technology.
“First we built a factory in Odessa, then in 1.5 years produced debut 3D printer of their own technique and set of materials. Every detail of the prints created by us environmental powder mixture, which is based on clay. Now there are about a hundred colors. Over time, the terms of the print was reduce to two to three hours, and the price is fifteen cents per centimeter squared to eight. The work is conduct with legal and with physical persons. The customer brings his sketches, and we model and create the finished project on the computer and do the printing. With certainty I can report that in the field of 3D printing of ceramic products we are the first and only one who has developed the highly effective technology.”
The factory is building in the industrial area of the plant “Stalkanat” is one of the first industrial enterprises of Odessa, working from the XIX century. Now it has thirty employees. On improving, the technology of 3D printing employs seven technicians.
At the last forum consumer, electrical CES in Las Vegas was present a 3D printer, Segama Operators. In the first week after that, there were 4 pre-order for this technology. New printer’s customers receive 4 months for the price of 25 thousand dollars.
“We found intermediaries in the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy and even Chile. Sent preliminary requests for collaboration from industrial giants and military complex of the United States of America. First, companies are interested in 3D printing of molds for the smelting of metal products. Now negotiations are underway with companies Gеnеrаl Еlесtriс and Теslа on 3D printing automotive parts from ceramics. In addition, European and American design Studio, the purpose of which is a small factory for 3D printing, restricted versions of their pottery, express interest. Nowadays to get a party of fifty or a hundred of ceramics, when you use the usual casting and Chinese technology, is almost impossible. Ukrainian production base is very small. I can safely say that we have developed the technology of 3D printing of ceramics will serve as a major industrial companies and new startups who can now not look for this technology abroad with all the attendant risks.”
3D printer, Segama Operator also has the ability to print bone implants, but products of this type are specially developed in cooperation with laboratories from Europe biological powders. To launch such production is necessary to obtain a large number of permits, certification of raw materials and production technology. It is plan that the company Kwаmbiо will make the bone importantly in the next two years.
As stated by one of the founders of the industrial Association of companies “Rentehno” Dmytro Lukomsky: “New power plant “Taganskaya-2″ consists of 30382 photon electric elements Q. POWER G5-270 Wp each of which has a capacity of 0.27 kW”.
Mayor Alexander Shapovalov said: “Berislav finally got rid of the huge dumps and plus, every year the city budget will receive 600 thousand UAH of a payment for earth rent. This is 10% of income, and they will have a huge impact on the future financial independence of the region. There are hopes that investors will make an effort to implement social projects.”
Neoen has already made a test on energy sales. Within two days (January 18 and 19, current year), electricity from the energy storage was sold for $ 1 million. Representatives of the owner company said they sold energy at the price of 14,000 Australian dollars per megawatt.
It should be noted that Australia occupies a leading position in the field of generating “green” energy. For a long time, experts have been looking for ways to accumulate large volumes of electricity produced in order to make it cheaper. At present, this method was found thanks to the team of Ilon Mask.
The last few years have been marked by an increase in the number of SES in the territory of our country. The capacity of solar power plants varies from 1 to 20 megawatts.
It should be note that the maximum power of such an engine would be not less than 180 horsepower. Thus, the maximum twisting element will have an indicator of 740 Nm – values.
This way will allow agro-industrial enterprises to provide themselves with not only fuel, but also energy. Biological gas, as you know, can be burn, generating electrical energy. In addition to electric, enterprises will be able to receive the proper amount of heat energy for heating adjacent buildings.
Mining has a good quick payback. In addition, this variant of investing money is accompany by high risks because virtual money – crypto currency, generated by the farm is still not officially recognized and is not fixed. There are no guarantees that in the future its depreciation will not take place. A huge minus cryptoferm is also a significant consumption of electrical energy.
At the end of this period, the person who deposited money into the escrow account returns his amount back together with the earned interest. From an economic point of view, this is a profitable way to earn money, but no one is immune from the fact that during the deposit period there will not be a depreciation of money – inflation.
Extra electricity, which is usually very much, it sells to the state. Sale is based on a special “green tariff”, which is fixed in the legislation at a price of 0.18 euros per 1 kW. This way of earning has low risks because the whole process is describe and guarantee by the state, and brings high incomes: in five years, they will amount to about one hundred percent.
The project, which first appeared in Vladivostok in early autumn of 2017, is now continuing its active development. The crypto-currency farm in conjunction with fruit combines the latest scientific achievements in the renewal of electricity in the agro-industrial complex using the digital economy.
Due to the presence of its power station, the microclimate of the ecosystem will be provided with food. Heat the entire system, along with greenhouses and dairy, will be a solar power plant that will also heat water in the system. Using such technologies, the crypto farm will completely save on heating, which is one of the main factors for a successful start-up.
The public organization “Ehkotava” promises that anyone can take part in the flash mob, because the tasks will be easy and easy to implement, since they are specifically targeted at home conditions.
“We are turning to conscious Ukrainian activists to take part in the creation of new ecological habits and ecotraditions. Our organization is ready to help with advice, share information on the results and promote every citizen who in 2018 will switch to conscious use of resources and his actions every day will improve the ecological level of the country. ”
According to the statement of the vice-president in the field of research and development of Нyundаі Motor Company, the company is already at the forefront of the use of hydrogen injection technologies in the automotive industry after the release of the Tuсsоn / іx35 FCEV off-road vehicle. “Despite this, I am happy to present the next child of our modern technologies – the hydrogen SUV NEXO, which is the representative of the second generation of this technology,” the vice president summed up.
Also in the car will introduce a system that tracks and finds objects in the so-called “blind moves” – BlіndSrot Vіеw Mоnіtоr. On the sides of the SUV will be installed special wide-angle cameras, which will play back to the main console the current image.
Among the latest experimental projects of Chinese developers is a car track, the coating of which is made of solar panels. It should be noted that this road is capable of sustaining the rather impressive weight of vehicles without damage.
This technology can be used for the purpose of recharging the electronics worn on the human body or for medical sensors. The fiber is perfectly bent and has an elastic structure, so its placement in the human body is not problematic.
