According to foreign media reports, last week, billionaire Allen - Musk (Elon Musk) announced Hyperloop super high-speed rail program, which transport pneumatic tube system is based on principles of design. Currently, the United States, "clouds" 3D printing company for less than 24 hours to create the desktop 3D printing size Hyperloop pipe metal powder model.
Baiyun 3D printing company president Jerry - Robert van Gulik Rato (Jerry Ropelato) assigned five designers create this 3D model, he said: "I think this is a very interesting project, the ability to Hyperloop concepts into reality. It real demonstrate the possibility of Aluminium Magnesium Alloy powder manufacturing 3D printing. "
It is reported that each designer is responsible for a Hyperloop system
Ferrochrome powder components, the entire 3D digital model is based on the design drawings Musca. The system includes passenger transport tanks, you can run through overhead pipes.
Three 3D printers used in the construction Hyperloop each part, based on computer-aided design model (CAD) layer by layer printing. Baiyun 3D printing company Connex 500 printer for producing elevated pillars, ProJet 3500 HDMax printer for the manufacture of pipes, ZPrinter 650 printer manufacturing sites and the passenger compartment, the team assembled after the formation of the different metal powder components of this complex structure.
Musca claims, Hyperloop super high-speed rail can reach speeds 1220 km (760 miles), passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes, using solar energy as the driving force, the passenger compartment in the air flying. Hyperloop will help reduce urban traffic congestion, providing a cheaper than a car, greener modes of transportation. Meanwhile, its construction costs are lower, about $ 6 billion, is currently the only California High Speed Rail project tenth.
